The Horsemen had a big game this past Saturday against the Green Bay Blizzard. Winning it would secure them a place in the playoffs. This was probably easily the best game I have seen all season. Both teams were on top of their game and almost equally matched. The game was close near the beginning, but then Green Bay got a lot of scores and were leading 34-14 at half time. Things looked very grim. the horsemen really turned on their ‘A game’ when they came back on the field for the second half. It seemed like the team as a whole was cohesively working together toward a win that they really wanted, and that they really needed.

Coach Mike Harmon had this to say on HorsemenFootball.com:

“I’m typically not a big yeller, but I challenged our guys at halftime,” Horsemen head coach Mike Harmon said. “We told our players at halftime that Green Bay was playing for the title and we were just watching. Everyone got their minds right and really performed in the second half. We had a lot of great individual efforts.”

The Horsemen came back from their 20 point deficit and tied the Blizzard sending the game into overtime. Fans were going crazy. the players were really excited and provoking the fans to make more noise. The Horsemen won the coin toss and elected to have Green Bay receive the ball first. Greenbay battled hard and ended up coming up with a touchdown, making them ahead of the Horsemen by seven points. The Horsemen struck back with some amazing plays giving them a touchdown for themselves. Now came the clutch decision, should they risk a loss and go for the two point conversion for the win? they opted to go for the two point conversion. When they got a penalty it put everyone on their edge of their seats. Luckily it wasn’t bad so they set up for an attempt. With an amazing play they managed to get the two point conversion and end the game.

The Horsemen’s win against Green Bay put them in a tie for first place in the af2 American Conference Midwest Division. I have to give credit where credit is due and say that the Green Bay Blizzard really brought an amazing fight. I don’t think anyone likes to see one team walk all over the other and I think what made this game so good was that both teams were playing at their best and really challenging each other. This Saturday’s game is sure to be excellent as well. It also happens to be the Horsemen’s last home game of the season, so I would highly recommend checking it out if you haven’t made it out to a game before.
