Utah lost today against New England Free Jackets, 36-27, with no bonus points. A bonus point would have put them in striking distance of overcoming the Dallas Jackals for the last playoff spot in the Western Conference. But that did not happen.
Remarkable, too, that Utah, who lost to the Seawolves last week, 68-29, came within nine points of the top team in the Eastern Conference. What does that say about the Eastern Conference?
