Boston continued to win and stay atop the East Division with a 27-20 victory over Birmingham behind a strong performance by quarterback Johnny Walton. He threw for 367 yards and 3 touchdowns in the game including the game winner with less than 2 minutes left. Kicker Tim Mazzetti added two field goals.
Birmingham lost another close game to drop to 1-4 on the season. Bobby Lane nearly matched Walton but came up one score short in the game. Boston looks to keep winning against Oakland next week while Birmingham has a tough one against division leading Chicago.
