The Arizona Rattlers had their seven-game winning streak
snapped at US Airways Center Friday night by a 62-49 loss
to the Utah Blaze.
Not only did the loss, coupled with a San Antonio win at
Chicago, cost the Rattlers the top seed in the National
Conference standings, but also cost Kevin Guy’s team the
top spot in the Arena Football League Power Rankings for
Week 19.
The Rattlers (12-4) plummeted to fourth in the rankings,
behind new number one San Antonio (13-3), Philadelphia
(14-3) and Utah (11-5).
Arizona travels to San Antonio Friday to battle the Talons
in a game with big-time playoff ramifications.
