Washington started week 15 with a rare win over Arizona. Part of the reason might just be how abyssmal Arizona is this year, but the Federals offense fired on all cylinders with offensive player of the week Mike Hohensee tossing 4 touchdowns. In the other game on Saturday, the Breakers easily handled the Stallions to all but punch their ticket to the playoffs.

Sunday brought no surprises with the two best teams in the league, Michigan and Chicago getting wins to keep their exciting race to the finish intact. Philadelphia kept their slim playoff chances alive by beating New Jersey and leaving Generals fans wondering what went wrong this year. In the final game on Monday night, Oakland took care of business against Denver, putting them more or less into the playoffs with another win.
