XFL Playoffs Matchup: Xtreme vs. Enforcers DEFENSE

Matt Keneley, Ramondo Stallings and Jamal Duff lead an Xtreme defensive line that has combined for 16 QB sacks on the year. While the Xtreme D has been vulnerable against the run at times during the season, they have also shined against some of their fellow playoff teams. In Week 1, the Demons gathered 77 yards on the ground and the following week, the XFL's leading rusher, John Avery, was held to 69 yards, which is far below his per game average. Their best game, though? Week 7 against the Rage. Orlando's usually effective running attack managed only 21 yards on the ground. Larry Fitzpatrick (33 tackles, 5.5 sacks) and Aaron Humphrey (53 tackles, 3 sacks ) and Matt Finkes (28 tackles, 1.5 sacks) are quick and hard hitters who provide solid pass rushing.

With 21 tackles on the year, Shawn Stuckey heads up the linebacker group for the Xtreme. The punishing Juan Long has had a solid season (21 tackles, 1 sack, 1 QB knocked out), while Errick Herrin and Rico Mack, 18 and 26 tackles respectively, are also strong contributors. Jamie Baisley (63 tackles, 1 INT) is the defense's leader who loves to flatten opponents. Chicago's defense improved significantly between Weeks 4 and 10 which was shown in Week 10 when they allowed just one touchdown to the league's top team, Orlando.
 

The men who make up the Xtreme secondary like to hit. And hit often. Ricky Parker leads the team with 40 tackles, while Leomont Evans has registered 38 and an interception. Dell McGee has two picks to go along with 28 tackles. Regardless of who the Xtreme face, these guys will be up for the challenge. Chicago loves to take chances in the secondary, as evident by its ranking as XFL interception leader (15) and league-worst pass defense standing (2,035 yards surrendered). Corey Ivy (24 tackles, 5 INTs) and Dorian Brew (30 tackles, 4 INTs) drive the precarious secondary that will create scoring opportunities for the Enforcers or get smoked..
