Playoff scouting report

Dallas Vigilantes at Chicago Rush, Allstate Arena, 7:30 pm

Scouting the Rush: Defensive lineman Martin Parker signed a contract with the New York Giants and will not play. The defense is hoping to get a boost from star DB Vic Hall, who is looking to come off IR in time for the game. Quarterback JJ Raterink played just over a quarter last week before being pulled in favor of Dominic Randolph, but will likely be under center.

Scouting the Vigilantes: Coming off back-to-back home losses vs the Rush and the league-leading Arizona Rattlers last week, the team is hungry. In both losses to the Rush, the Vigilantes started strong but faded in the end; to some degree they gave the games away. They feature the league’s second best rushing attack with rookie fullback Derrick Ross setting a new AFL season rushing record. Their passing defense is ranked 16th out of18 teams, though that may not be an issue against the Rush’s 17th ranked passing offense.
