May 10, 2008 - The Chicago Rush is going to the playoffs for the eighth-consecutive season.  Despite not playing this weekend due to a bye, the Rush (8-2) clinched a playoff spot last night thanks to San Jose ’s 63-42 win at Arizona .

 Chicago has now qualified for the playoffs in each of its eight seasons in the Arena Football League.  Entering this season only Orlando (16) and San Jose (8) had longer active playoff streaks than the Rush.

My Reaction: It’s week 10 and the Rush are in the playoff. This certainly says a great deal about the American Conference as much as anything. The positive is that the Rush are at least in the dance. You can’t get to an Arena Bowl without making it to the playoffs. I guess you could say the Rush won this week without playing.
