AFL I Arena Football League (1987-2008)

San Jose hopes to continue championship trend

March 30, 2005 - Arena Football League (1987-2008) (AFL I) News Release


NEW YORK – The defending ArenaBowl champion San Jose SaberCats began the season uncharacteristically by posting a 1-3 record. But they have put together a four-game winning streak and are now tied with Los Angeles for first place in the Western Division.

San Jose is attempting to win their third ArenaBowl championship in the last four years, which would duplicate the achievements of another pro football team -- the New England Patriots of the NFL, who have won three of the last four Super Bowls. In every year that New England has won the Super Bowl, San Jose has gone on to win the ArenaBowl. Will the pattern hold this year?

YEAR SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS ARENABOWL CHAMPIONS
2002 New England Patriots San Jose SaberCats
2003 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Tampa Bay Storm
2004 New England Patriots San Jose SaberCats
2005 New England Patriots ?
