FUSE TV - 'LFL' Game 12 Recap: Steam Rises in Front of Big Home Crowd Finale, 71-13 Over Heart

The Atlanta Steam had over two months to prepare for their Legends Football League game against the Omaha Heart on Saturday night, as they last took the field May 10th in a loss against the Chicago Bliss. Though the game on Saturday night carried no significance as far as playoffs are concerned, it was important for Omaha and Atlanta to take this game very seriously. Omaha fields a team that is full of rookies and every game the Heart play this season is crucial for their improvement and experience. For Atlanta, the players needed to take the field again and “get the rust off” as they prepare for the Eastern Conference Championship against the Chicago Bliss, taking place August 15th.

Atlanta was able to play their final regular season game in front of their home crowd on Saturday night and ‘The Factory’ (Arena at Gwinnett Center) was a packed house. This season the Steam offense, lead by the passing prowess of Dakota Hughes, has put up astounding numbers and Steam fans have been able to witness a lot of offense this season. Atlanta has scored twenty-three touchdowns combined this year at home in the two games against Omaha and the season-opener against Chicago.

This season Atlanta appears to have the talent and depth to be a contender for the Legends Cup, with the kind of season they are having and the offense seems to keep improving. However, the reality is Atlanta has played the awful Omaha Heart three times, and from Omaha’s lack ability this season, any team in the LFL could have gone 3-0 against the Heart and put up big numbers offensively. When you consider that fact that the 3-2 Steam have only actually beaten one team (Omaha), it’s hard to gauge exactly how good they are this season.
