Record vs. Rush (2005) -- 1-1.

Update -- The Avengers have lost two games in a row but are in a four-way tie for first place in the Western Division. Brian Mann is expected to start at quarterback after Ryan Van Dyke, who got the call in a 66-41 loss at Grand Rapids a week ago, was released early in the week. Receiver Kevin Ingram has scored six of the Avengers’ 13 touchdowns. Remy Hamilton leads the Arena Football League in kicking points with 36, but the Avengers are last in the league in points scored with 114. Chicago is led by quarterback Matt D’Orazio, whose top targets are wideouts C.J. Johnson and Russell Shaw. Chicago defeated the Avengers, 52-45, in the first round of the playoffs last year.
