UNDER A FULL MOON AT THE HISTORIC LOS ANGELES MEMORIAL COLISEUM STOOD A HUGE CROWD HUNGRY FOR THE RETURN OF PRO FOOTBALL TO LOS ANGELES. TEMPTATION NATION CHEERED THROUGHOUT THE GAME AS LOS ANGELES DOMINATED EARLY AND OFTEN BEHIND THE MOST IMPRESSIVE DEFENSIVE EXHIBITIONS OF THE SEASON.

GAME MVP ALI EASTLAKE PASSED FOR 3 TOUCHDOWNS TO HER FAVORITE TARGET BRITTANIE DE GARBOTT. EASTLAKE ALSO RAN FOR A TOUCHDOWN AS LOS ANGELES ENDED THE HALF WITH A 39-0 LEAD. SAN DIEGO WAS COMPLETELY OUT-MATCHED AT THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE WITH INTIMIDATING PLAY BY THE LOS ANGELES FRONT THREE LED BY LINEBACKERS MICHEL JACOT AND MONIQUE GAXIOLA.

THE BLEEDING DID NOT STOP IN THE 2ND HALF AS LA PADDED THEIR LEAD WITH AN ALI EASTLAKE TOUCHDOWN RUN AND BACK-UP QUARTERBACK JOEY DAVENPORT TOUCHDOWN PASS WITH :17 SECONDS LEFT. ALTHOUGH THE OFFENSIVE EXHIBITION WAS THE BIGGEST OF THE YEAR, THE MOST IMPRESSIVE ELEMENT WAS A LOS ANGELES DEFENSE THAT PLAYED POSSESSED AND DETERMINED TO MAINTAIN THEIR SHUTOUT.

LOS ANGELES' 53-0 WIN PROPELS THEM TO THE WESTERN CONFERENCE PLAYOFFS IN SOUTH FLORIDA WITH A BATTLE AGAINST THE DALLAS DESIRE. THESE TWO LAST PLAYED ON OCTOBER 23RD IN DALLAS IN A GAME THAT CAME DOWN TO THE FINAL DRIVE AND A DALLAS 24-12 WIN.
