Devils Devour the Wolves!
Without Ryan Callahan under center, the Chicago Wolves could only muster two field goals against a stout Los Angeles defense. The Devils’ offense fired on all cylinders, using a dynamic rushing attack to control the pace of the game.
Rodrigo Martinez was a force on the ground once again, carrying the ball 18 times for 95 yards and a touchdown. The Devils kept the Chicago defense guessing, scoring a second touchdown on a speedy end-around by wide receiver Casey Jackson. Quarterback Marcus Boone was perfectly efficient, tossing a touchdown to the omnipresent Anthony DeLuca to cap off a comfortable 26-6 road win.
