After back-to-back bye weeks, I'm back with more breakdowns, more history and more AFL than anywhere else. Arizona won the West, Jacksonville won a record tying 12th straight, Tommy Grady tossed ten TDs again, Derrick Ross set the single-season rushing record (without apparently anyone knowing about it), Tampa Bay evened the War on I-4 and a few more thousand words to fill the void until Week 16 kicks off. Breaking it Down is back!
A rival is defined as one who attempts to equal or surpass another in a particular respect. A rivalry is the act of competing against a rival. On Friday night, the Chicago Rush hosted the San Jose Sabercats at the Allstate Arena in what many fans of this fine sport would define as a rivalry.

Ten weeks down, ten more to go in the longest regular season in AFL history. Nine teams have winning records, last year's ArenaBowl participants are a combined 7-10, Jacksonville is riding an eight-game winning streak and Arizona has lost two games by two combined points. Game recaps, midyear awards, historical nuggets and other notes of interest are featured in this week's edition of Breaking it Down.
Almost halfway through the 2012 AFL season, the Chicago Rush find themselves in a good position. They have a record of 6-2 after defeating the Iowa Barnstormers last weekend at home 61-50, which ties them with three other teams (San Jose, Utah, and Philadelphia) for best in the league.
