Tampa Bay looked to be firing on all cylinders behind quarterback Aaron Murray to begin last weekend’s game against the New York Guardians. However, Murray’s interception in the end zone proved to be a sign of what would happen the rest of the game in a 23-3 loss. Murray was sacked three times and completed less than half of his passes. However, on the positive side, Tampa Bay completed 47 percent of its third-down conversions and had four trips into the red zone. It was three turnovers that proved to be a killer.
Seattle may have had more success on offense than Tampa Bay, but it still took a 31-19 loss to the DC Defenders. Quarterback Brandon Silvers went 21-for-40 with 217 yards passing and three touchdowns, but he did have two interceptions. Kenneth Farrow and Ja’Quan Gardner combined for 97 yards on 16 carries. It will be interesting to see if the two split time again on Saturday or if the coaches choose to give one of the running backs more snaps. Wide receiver Austin Proehl had five catches for 88 yards and two touchdowns, including a 57-yard catch-and-run.
