The San Jose SaberCats achieved a big win on the road defeating the Jacksonville Sharks (6-3) with a score of 57-36 on Saturday night, improving their record to 6-2 for the season. With half of the season left to play, the SaberCats currently sit two games behind the National West Division leaders the Arizona Rattlers (8-1).
Following three seasons of adequate regular season play, but less-than-stellar postseason play, the SaberCats are looking to finally break the spell and get over that last hump to the franchise's fourth ArenaBowl championship.
Arizona Rattlers fans, turn your heads. You'll always hold the mark as the most impressive dynasty since the return of the AFL in 2010, and you'll always have a gripe that Reggie Gray's ball never reached the goal line before it came out. But this day belongs to the San Jose SaberCats.
After a road victory against the San Antonio Talons (0-1) the San Jose SaberCats (1-0) have been preparing for their home opener against the Orlando Predators.
There was a ton of offense. There was a little bit of defense. There was some Ironman football. And there was that crazy bounce that can only happen in the Arena Football League. Yes, old school arena football might have died years ago, but on Sunday night, two of the best in the history of the game put in an old school fight, as the Arizona Rattlers knocked off the San Jose SaberCats 59-49.
