Let's take a look at the 10 biggest plays of Week 9. 

Searching for their first touchdown of Friday’s game against the Brahmas, Duggan went for more than just the first down on a third-and-11 play early in the second quarter. He found Jackson deep downfield, with the receiver making a leaping contested grab for a 28-yard gain.

San Antonio's dynamic QB-WR duo was back at it again in Week 9. Late in the third quarter of Saturday’s game against the Showboats, Vaughns slipped past the secondary to get wide open for a 41-yard score that broke the tie.

Looking to get a first down on third-and-7 in the opening minutes of Sunday’s game, the Defenders wound up getting more than that. QB Jordan Ta’amu threw a strike in the middle of the field for Powell before the wide receiver hit the jets to score a 44-yard touchdown.

The Defenders might have put backup quarterback Mike DiLiello in for the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game as they had nothing to play for, but some of their players were still putting out a good effort. DiLiello stepped up in the pocket and threw a dart to Bresnahan, who used one hand to help make a catch for a 57-yard gain.

Perez and Vaughns appear on the top 10 list for a second time this week. Before the two connected for what ended up being the game-winning touchdown, Vaughns made an impressive grab on an out route
