XFL Week 10: Chicago Enforcers Win Over Orlando

Enforcers 23, Rage 6

CHICAGO (AP) — Kevin McDougal threw a touchdown pass and ran for another score as Chicago beat Orlando 23-6 on Sunday night to take the final XFL playoff spot.

The Enforcers, who overcame an 0-4 start to finish the regular season 5-5, will open the playoff in Los Angeles next Sunday against the Western Division-champion Xtreme.

The Rage (8-2) will face San Francisco on Saturday night. The Eastern Conference champion had already clinched home-field advantage throughout the playoffs before the game.

McDougal, 13-of-20 for 182 yards, scored on a 2-yard run late in the second quarter, and threw a 29-yard TD pass to Aaron Bailey to give Chicago a 20-0 lead in the third.

Chicago’s John Avery, bothered by a sore hamstring, rushed for 41 yards. He led the league in rushing with 800 yards.

Andy Crosland kicked three field goals for Chicago.

Orlando’s only score came on Brian Kucklick’s 51-yard touchdown pass to Dialleo Burks.
