Site -- Staples Center.

Radio -- 570, 1330.

Records -- Avengers 4-10, Brigade 3-11.

Record vs. Brigade (2007) -- 0-1.

Update -- It’s difficult to imagine teams with records such as the Avengers and Brigade qualifying for the playoffs, but the winner of this game will move a step closer to reaching the postseason. The top six teams make the playoffs in the American Conference, and the Avengers and Kansas City are in seventh and eighth place. The Avengers have lost four games in a row, six of their last seven, and have given up 884 points, the second most in the Arena Football League. Former NFL quarterback Quincy Carter played for Kansas City in last week’s 73-34 loss to Arizona and may start today.
