How competitive has the United States Football League been this season? With only two weeks left in the regular season, all eight teams are in contention for a playoff spot and no team has clinched a postseason berth.
One of the hottest — and most surprising — teams in the USFL puts its winning streak on the line in the surge for a postseason berth in Week 9.
The Memphis Showboats are on a five-game winning streak after an 0-3 start and are seeking a playoff spot in the ultra-competitive South Division.
