For the second consecutive week Tyler Knight, reigning IFL Defensive Player of the Year, earns Defensive Player of the Week honors. The Storm squared off against the Tri-Cities Fever on Saturday night in a matchup that lived up to its billing. The battle between these two powerhouses came down to the wire with Knight turning in the play of the year thus far in 2014. The score was tied at 40 and 18 seconds remaining on the clock and the Fever were driving deep into the Storm's territory looking to set up a game winning field goal. With the Storm needing a big play, Knight jumped in front of a Dante Warren pass attempt, secured the interception, and returned the ball 36-yards for the game winning touchdown. Knight finished the game with 15 tackles (1.5 for loss), .5 sacks, and the INT. The Storm will look to remain unbeaten when they return home to take on the Colorado Ice this weekend after a two game road trip.
