The moment that turned the Hawks season into a playoff season was in week 7. The Hawks started out the season 1-4 and were in dire straights. People were talking a lot of smack on the team in spite of tough close losses to division rivals Yellowknife Wraiths and Philadelphia Liberty. The Hawks went into Colorado and got the expected easy win. But starting out in Week 7 they had a stretch of tough yet winnable games. They went into Arizona and wound up beating the Outlaws in spite of many doubting they would (Hawks beating the Outlaws at least once is always a tradition). The Baltimore offense against Arizona was straight up clicking. Avon Blocksdale through for three TDs and no interceptions as well as over 350 yards. Alexandre Leclair caught 161 yards, Trey Willie over 100 yards and a TD and John Wachter, star Rookie, Caught two TDs. Additionally Owen Taylor ran for over 100 yards a TD. This game is the one that turned it around.
