The Birmingham Iron helped to vault itself into being one of the better teams in the Alliance of American football through three weeks by playing very solid defense. The defense has slipped in recent weeks, however, and so too have their results. They lost two games in a row after beginning the season 3-0.
But the offense helped spark a turnaround against the San Diego Fleet in a big win last night in what was one of the more exciting games of this young league’s history, the Iron winning on a late field goal by Nick Novak to make it 32-29.
