For the Blizzard, the first three weeks went smoothly. But then there was some trouble in paradise against the Ironmen: though Anchorage routed their rivals, there were a lot of kinks that will have to be ironed out. Greg Bridgewater threw 3 interceptions, and Bryce Elliott was struggling without Tony Gilmore getting some of the attention. Elliott did score a TD, but his stats were disappointing considering the amount of times he was targeted (two of which resulting in picks).
The game against the Kingfish was the closest so far. It could have gone either way. But Casey Mount won it for the Kingfish with a field goal as time expired.

Bam Stevens opens the season with a TD.
Brad Middleton gets his first sack in his first game.
Blair Rainey with the pick-six.
Glenn Harrison scores an 81-yard touchdown.
Andy Neal gets his first sack.
Bryce Elliott keeps the ball and barely crosses the plane.
Stevens powers his way into the endzone.
Leonardo Reynolds scores a 94-yard TD. He finishes the day with 154 yards and 2 TDs.
Mitch Jackson gets a sack and an interception.
Harrison almost drops the ball but makes it to the endzone.
The Kingfish make mistakes early on. A fumble, then this pick-six by Rainey.
But they claw back into the game, partly thanks to this 88-yard TD by TE John Aiken, the longest of his career.
Donald Jean-Francois has mostly played on special teams. You may remember his special teams TD many moons ago that helped sink the Blizzard. This year, he finally won a starting job, and he rewards his coaches with this TD.
As of right now, the Apocalypse (4-0), Snowcats (4-0) and Vortices (5-0) are unbeaten. The RailRiders are 4-1 after dropping their game against the Ironmen. The Bison, Blizzard, Vipers, Phantoms, Wallabies and Defenders have only dropped one game.
