Hall & Jones
Despite all intensive care wide receiver Alonzo Johnson had only been able to come up with 2 catches for 26 yards after the the receiving game had been a strong factor in previous matches.
After the World Bowl Mike Jones had explained, that the strong Claymores had done well by disrupting the passing game of the Rhein Fire.
Baltimore Ravens' Super Bowl winning safety Anthony Mitchell had looked fully determined and at this time the usually humorous safety wasn't joking at all.

Sensational has been the career of safety Nick Ferguson with his 304 tackles in the NFL for the Denver Broncos and other teams.

Rarely Galen Hall was seen with such a face at half-time, but actually both of the teams were simply reflecting the tension of that highly intense battle between the two teams.
Defense
Already at half-time the two defenders Ken Anderson and Antonio Dingle had looked exhausted after some very busy 30 minutes.
