Key Takeaways

• Round 14 matches between Austin/LA and San Diego/Houston could determine who gets the playoff bye and who slips into the field, respectively.
• Seattle is sinking fast. A loss to San Diego this week would knock them far back from the pack.
• Utah and Dallas remain MLR franchises. Their off field decision-making is starting to make even that look like a success.
