TAMPA Saturday night in Tampa will belong to TT Toliver, as he became the all-time leader in receiving yards in Arena Football League history. On most other nights though, what Tiger Jones accomplished would set him apart from the rest of the pack. With his fourth reception on Saturday night, the Jacksonville Sharks man went past Chris Jackson for the fourth most receptions in AFL history.
The Tampa Bay Storm celebrated 25 years of Arena Football Friday night as it played host to the rival Orlando Predators in the AFL's 3,000th game. Unfortunately for the Storm, the only history on display Friday night was that of the 2015 season. The Storm picked up right where they left off, by losing ugly to the Predators.
After a heartbreaking, last second defeat against rival Orlando last week, the stage was set on Friday night for the Tampa Bay Storm to show up flat against a very talented Philadelphia Soul team.
Seven of the eight playoff teams have been decided as well as two division titles. Three total teams clinched playoff berths, while two were eliminated.

This and my top offensive player of the year await you in the Week 16 edition of Breaking it Down.
