The 2011 Chicago Rush set a new team record by going 13-5 last season and fell one game, some could say one play, short of reaching the ArenaBowl. As we come up on the 2012 season, some things have changed in the front office for the AFL team out of Chicago. The team is now owned by the league and Gene Nudo has resigned as President and General Manager and is no longer involved with the organization.
In a world where scores can easily reach into the 60s, 70s, and 80's, the Chicago Rush look at things a little bit differently. Defense CAN help to win games in the Arena Football League. In three of the past four seasons, the Rush has held their opponents to an average of under 50 points per game.
Nobody in the Chicago Rush organization will admit it, but they know that there will be a buzz surrounding their home opener on Friday night at Allstate Arena.
