During the entire game Robert Baker had contributed a total of 4 receptions for 111 Yards and 2 TDs.

James Brown had become a solid factor since qb Quinn Gray had received a slap in his face in week 5, when he had not even been welcome on the field for discipline reasons.
During the game James Brown did complete 8 from 16 passes for 93 yards and 1 TD, what had earned him a rating of 88,8.
Galaxy's tight end icon Werner Hippler had brought in NFL and XFL experience, which was compiled at the Detroit Lions and at the Las Vegas Outlaws.
Rhein Fire had started with QB Nick Rolovich from the Broncos, who had earned himself a rating as low as 45,9 with 11 from 19 passes completed for 80 yards and 1 interception.
Chris Greison completed 12 from 25 passes for 102 yards and 1 TD and he was intercepted once what earned him a rating of 55,8. But overall he had been one of the weak spots at Fire on that day.
