The Breeze had not lost to Philadelphia since 2013. Sure, the Phoenix won all four contests in 2013, and there were a couple close games including an overtime since, but the Breeze had won 10 straight from 2014 to 2016. Then on June 3, Philadelphia upset the Breeze 22-21 in Philadelphia. It’s game on! We hope to see you at historic Gallaudet University June 24, 6:30pm as the Breeze continue their assault on the East Division and (hopefully) home field advantage in the playoffs.

The Breeze beat them 32-21 on Opening Day, then the Rush took care of business with authority May 13, 26-20 in Toronto. In fact, the last 5 contests between these two teams have gone to the home team, and the Breeze are fixing to keep that streak alive for at least one more game. Fan support is key! Please…
