Philadelphia Soul Try To Continue Winning Streak vs. Brigade
Heading into this game, the Philadelphia Soul are entering with a 10-0 record, a playoff spot clinched, and with the top spot in the AFL standings.
As for the expansion team the Baltimore Brigade, even though their record is 3-6, they have been in some close games that could have gone the other way.

When the Baltimore Brigade joined the league this year, he joined the Brigade coaching staff.
