Toronto could never top its momentous smack-down of D.C in its Sunday game on the following afternoon against Ottawa, but it did just enough to get the victory 21-19. Toronto jumped out to an early lead before Ottawa fought back, gaining the lead before the end of the third quarter. Clutch play allowed the Rush to hold on to the win, moving their record to 6-0 on the season.
Eight weeks into the 2018 regular season journey and the divisional playoff races are becoming clearer. Each of the four divisions has a clear frontrunner, but the battle for the other postseason positions looks like a congested free-for-all.
Even though the final score between the Toronto Rush and the D.C Breeze ballooned to 33-20 for the home side, there were a variety of bumps along the road. Commitment to the system allowed the Rush to prevail behind strong games from Ben Oort, Jeremy Norden, and Mike MacKenzie, among others.
