It may have been the 12th game of the season but, for the Philly hometown faithful, it seemed like the start of a new season, new hope, as the their Slayers lost a tough one, 13-16, to begin the Kosmic28 era.
The stadium was at 71 % capacity to see the first game of the Kos era. This game had everything any fan could hope for. Big plays, offensively and defensively, hard hits and gaffs, and a last minute field goal, by Phoenix, to snatch a victory from the outreached hopes of the Slayers.
" First I want to say congrats to the Phoenix Predators in a game well played and their win. All in all, though, I couldn't be happier with this team's performance today. They played tough the entire 60 minutes, kept us in the game, and lost on a last minute field goal by the opposition. Heart! They played with plenty of heart, grit, and never die attitude, and that's all any owner, or coach, can ask for from their team. Yes, if this kind of play is what we can expect from our players, through the rest of the season, and future, than it will always will be "sunny in Philadelphia"".
So the Kos era begins in Philly as we see great things happening for the team and hopes of XFL Championship in the future.
