Boston comes off a bye week with a do-or-die matchup against the red-hot Washington Justice. With no room for error, the Uprising have to show everybody they deserve a spot in the season playoffs. Time to prove everyone wrong.
Entering the last week of Stage 2, Boston's stage playoff chances were slim. To pull it off, they'd need nearly two sweeps against the LA Gladiators and the Washington Justice and a whole lot of help from the rest of the league.
What's the best thing you can hope for when you go 0-8 in week 3? A bye week - and that's just what the boys in blue got. Not having to fly out to Dallas hopefully gave the boys time to stop, reflect, and retool. Will the layoff work in their favor?
