The Green Bay Blizzard had their six-game winning streak come to an end Saturday night in Moline, falling to the Quad City Steamwheelers 43-37 in one of the wilder games of the IFL season.
This one had everything. Lead changes, turnovers, a fumble reversal on a goal line play, trick plays, and a final hail mary. Yet all of it just wasn't enough as Green Bay fell to Quad City on the road for the second time this season.
Liam Thompson threw for 109 yards and two touchdowns, but finished 9-of-23 and was replaced by Cole Stenstrom at different points throughout the game. Trevon Alexander was the standout on offense with five catches for 53 yards and two receiving touchdowns, adding a rushing score as well. Draysean Hudson hauled in four catches for 63 yards and scored the go-ahead touchdown in the fourth on a stunning contested catch, followed by a double reverse pass from Hudson back to Thompson for the two-point conversion to put Green Bay up 37-34.
However, Quad City answered. Jazeric Peterson punched one in with 19 seconds left and David Stevens hit the deuce to seal it 43-37.
Jarrod Ware was the difference maker for Quad City, rushing for 54 yards and two touchdowns while Daquan Neal was efficient all night going 12-of-16 through the air.
Franky West Jr. and Brian Horn each led the defense with 10 tackles apiece.
Green Bay falls to 9-2, with both losses coming on the road at Quad City. The Blizzard drop to the two seed as Jacksonville defeated San Antonio earlier in the night. Green Bay gets Jacksonville at home next Friday for Backyard Night at Freeze Field. Kickoff is 7pm.
