Generals Grind Out Sixth Straight Victory; Clinch Playoff Berth

New Jersey clinched a playoff berth with Saturday's victory over the Tampa Bay Bandits.  This makes six consecutive wins for the first place Generals.  

Coach Riley gave Luis Perez the ball the entire game.  Perez finished 19/25 for 174 yards.  With just over five minutes left in the first quarter, he and Ka'Vontae Turpin connected for six points.  

Alonzo Moore led the Generals with four receptions for 69 yards, and Darius Victor rushed 14 times for 72 yards and a second-quarter touchdown.  

The Generals' offense ranks third in total points.

Defensively, the Generals are second in fewest points allowed and first in fewest yards per game.  They have now held their opponent under twenty points for the fifth time in seven games.  Tampa Bay was limited to 78 yards rushing, and quarterback Jordan Ta'Amu was picked off three times and sacked three times.

Three division games remain on New Jersey's schedule against Pittsburgh, Michigan, and Philadelphia.
