Arlington Redskins win 2008 USA-YFL Championship

Congratulations to the Arlington Redskins (15-2) for their hard fought victory over the Hoffman Estates Broncos (16-1) in Super Bowl 33. The Broncos were favored coming into the game, but were no match for the red hot Redskins and their stout defensive front. The Redskins dominated the line of scrimmage on defense, leaving little time in the pocket for the high powered Broncos offense. On offense the Redskins were able to pound the ball early, setting up the passing game for a productive day.
