The Adelphia Phoenix claimed the last playoff spot, with one week left to play, by beating divisional rivals Melborg Giants Sunday night. They started strongly, with two Matt Kelly long passes to Mitchell Rice in the first quarter as they raced to a 14-0 lead. The Phoenix led 24-3 at halftime. Kelly passed for 404 yards and four touchdowns. The Giants didn’t function very well in the first three quarters, adding a consolation TD in the final period.

The Phoenix win was combined with the Storm’s loss- meaning that the Seafax team cannot better the defending champions record. Seafax did hold the head-to-head advantage over Adelphia.
