I anticipated the throw, and he wasn't there. Last week, in a double-overtime victory over Chicago in Los Angeles, Cortez missed the two field goals he tried, both from 34 yards, and Xtreme quarterback Tommy Maddox was picked up by NBC's microphones grumbling about him. But there was never a doubt on any of his four kicks Saturday. Defensive end Kelvin Kinney said the defense wouldn't point fingers and would never blame the offense. He said he was disappointed, but he added that none of the three units played well enough.
Great defenses do great things.
In times of adversity, you come together. You don't fall together and say it's the offense's fault. It's our fault, as a team. This wasn't the offense's loss. This was an Outlaws loss.
