Key Takeaways

• The top three all take Round 11 off.
• Toronto could find themselves level on points for the third playoff spot if they can take full advantage of NOLA.
• The Gold were reminded just how far away they are from genuine contention.
• Old Glory has yet to win, but they appear to have a plan. The same can’t be said for their next two opponents.
