Birmingham was finally forced to make a quarterback change after Keith Price replaced the struggling Luis Perez in the first quarter of last week’s game.
With two wins in a row, San Antonio now sits at 3-2 and shares the West Division lead with the Fleet. Atlanta has also won their last two straight after starting the year 0-3.
The Memphis Express were coming off of a pretty good Week 4 performance and looked like they were about to turn things around but they suffered a heartbreaking loss to Atlanta in Week 5 and are sinking like a stone with a lead weight tied to it.
Both of these teams got off to a strong start this season but they have been moving in opposite directions since Week 3.
As we enter Week 5 of the AAF season, the Memphis Express and the Atlanta Legends find themselves at the bottom of the standings but there is still time for both teams to turn things around and make a playoff push in the second half of the season.
After dropping a pair of games, the San Antonio Commanders evened up their record by handing the Birmingham Iron their first loss of the season in Week 4. The game wasn’t exactly a barn burner but the defenses played quite well.
The AAF moves into its fifth week of regular season play and, while a lot questions still linger, the undefeated Orlando Apollos are the best team in the league at the moment.
To date, the highlight of Salt Lake’s season was an improbable victory over Arizona in Week 3. Other than that, not a lot has gone their way and they find themselves in the Western Conference cellar.
Can the Memphis Express finally get on the winning side of the ledger when they take on the San Diego Fleet at home on Saturday?
Can the Birmingham Iron remain undefeated when they take on the San Antonio Commanders on Sunday afternoon?
Can the Orlando Apollos remain undefeated when they travel to take on the Salt Lake Stallions on Saturday evening in Salt Lake?
Can the Atlanta Legends finally get in the win column when they take on the Arizona Hotshots, who are coming off of an upset loss at Salt Lake?
Birmingham had a much tougher time in Week 2 against Salt Lake than they did in Week 1 when they drubbed Memphis 26-0. The Iron were forced to come from behind with a Trent Richardson touchdown run with under five minutes left.
These two teams met in Week 1 with the Commanders coming away with a 15-6 victory. San Antonio lost their Week 2 game against the Apollos in a thrilling 37-29 shootout while San Diego took advantage of a weak Atlanta Legends team to even up their record.
The Arizona Hotshots will try to remain undefeated when they face the winless Salt Lake Stallions for the second and final time this season.
