PAST MEETUPS - FIGHTERS V GUNSLINGERS
This will be the third time the Fighters and Gunslingers face off with the last outing ending in a Fighters win [62-57].
PLAYERS TO WATCH
Keep your eyes on quarterback TJ Edwards this week-and most weeks. Edwards is set for a revenge game against San Antonio after suffering an injury in their last encounter. This season, he has been a pivotal player, leading the league in scoring and dominating the IFL with his ground game. Watch for him to exploit the Gunslingers' defense, which is currently the weakest in the league.
Another player to keep an eye on is wide receiver Cole Blackman, who has been a standout performer for the team this season. Blackman has recorded 38 receptions for 478 yards and 13 touchdowns, making him a key target in the offense. Last week, he had an impressive game with four receptions for 41 yards and a touchdown. Expect him to continue his strong production this week against a struggling pass defense.
Lastly, keep an eye on defensive back Eugene Ford. Recently signed, Ford played in last year's IFL championship with Sioux Falls and was a crucial part of their defense. His standout performance earned him the runner-up spot for IFL Defensive Rookie of the Year.
