Week 8 of the inaugural United States Football League season is in the books and the two best teams in the league separated themselves a bit as the year inches closer to the end.

The Birmingham Stallions and the New Jersey Generals remained at the top of the South and North Divisions, respectively. Both teams have two games left on their dockets and could be heading for a matchup in the USFL championship next month.

But again, there’s still two weeks left to go.

The Stallions were able to stay undefeated with a 10-9 victory over the New Orleans Breakers and the Generals remained a one-loss team with an 11-point win over the Pittsburgh Maulers.
