The Green Bay Blizzard started their 2025 slate on a sour note on Friday, falling to the Quad City Steamwheelers 39-37.

Things started well for the Blizzard as Zane Lewis caught the first touchdown pass of the season to make it 7-0 at the end of the first quarter. The Steamwheelers scored two touchdowns thanks to its quarterback Daquan Neal before Max Meylor gave the Blizzard the lead back with a quarterback sneak of his own to make it 17-13 at the break. The two teams would trade scores the rest of the night with the Steamwheelers having the last laugh with a touchdown to end the game. Neal ended the night with five touchdowns to sink the Blizzard to 0-1 on the young season. The Blizzard will open their home schedule next Friday night when they welcome the Iowa Barnstormers to the Resch Center.
