Chargers took advantage of 54.00 points from Patrick Mahomes (320 Pas Yds, 3 TD) and 24.00 from Ladd McConkey (94 Rec Yds, 2 TD) to edge Arizona Firebirds 154.00 to 150.50. Chargers took a 19.50-point lead on Thursday and never looked back. This tight win was revenge for a loss to Arizona Firebirds in their last meeting a season ago. Kyler Murray led Arizona Firebirds with 36.00 points (321 Pas Yds, 32 Rsh Yds, 1 TD/2 Int) while Trey McBride brought in 27.00 (123 Rec Yds, 1 TD). Both teams left points off the scoreboard as Chargers had one starter turn in zero points and Arizona Firebirds also had one.
For the victors, a pair of players have been postseason stars : Michael Danna and McConkey. During the playoffs, that duo has outperformed their season scoring averages by 198% and 77%, respectively. On the other hand, Chargers has two players heading in the opposite direction. Jayden Reed and Rachaad White have both fallen significantly short of their year-to-date averages during the postseason. Despite the loss, Arizona Firebirds also had a couple of players performing their best in the playoffs: McBride and Joshua Karty. During the postseason, that combo has averaged 20.00 and 9.50 points, respectively, topping their season-long marks by 81% and 78%.
Mahomes went 29-38 for 320 yards and three TDs, the first time he's thrown for 300 yards since he had 306 against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 13.
With 14.50 points (1 Sack, 6 Tack, 5 Ast), Cashman tallied the third-highest score for a LB this week.
McConkey (94 Rec Yds, 2 TD) scored 24.00 points, the sixth-highest score of any WR in the league this week.
With 11.50 points (1 Sack, 4 Tack), Ogbah tallied the eighth-highest score for a DL this week.
Murray went 33-48 for 321 yards and a TD, the first time he's thrown for 300 yards since he had 307 against the Miami Dolphins in Week 8.
The 10.50 points scored by Young this week was good enough to rank 10th among LBs.
