Nicholson (6'2, 240, Florida State) filled up the stat sheet against the Fever tallying 12 tackles (2 for loss), 1 interception, 1 forced fumble, 1 fumble recovery, and 1 pass break up. Nicholson and the Revolution defense held the Fever to just 27 rushing yards while forcing 5 turnovers and limiting the Fever to 1 of 10 on third down conversions.

Special Teams Player of the Week: Yemi Babalola (DL, Chicago Slaughter)

Yemi Babalola (6'4, 280, Texas A&M) is the 3rd Slaughter player to earn weekly honors this season, the 2nd on special teams. Babalola showed off his athletic ability in a 27-14 victory over the Green Bay Blizzard. Midway through the 3rd quarter the Blizzard lined up for a short 28-yard FG attempt to cut the Slaughter lead to 8 points. In an amazing individual effort, Babalola rushed through the Blizzard line, blocking the attempt, then outran several Blizzard players down the field to recover the loose ball in the end zone for the touchdown. Instead of narrowing the margin, the Slaughter extending their lead to 24-6, a 10 point swing. After a slow start, Chicago has won 3 straight games to move to 3-2. Two of those victories have come at the expense of the Blizzard.
