2009 UFL Championship Game
The 2009 UFL Championship Game was the concluding game of the United Football League's inaugural season. The game was staged at Sam Boyd Stadium in Whitney, Nevada on Friday, November 27, 2009 (one day after Thanksgiving), and was won by the Las Vegas Locomotives, who defeated the previously unbeaten Florida Tuskers 20–17 on a 33-yard field goal in overtime.
==Background==
The United Football League originally intended to begin play in 2008, and in March of that year selected Sam Boyd Stadium in Whitney, Nevada to host its championship game on the day after that year's Thanksgiving holiday. (The league intended to bill the game as "The United Bowl," but was unable to gain rights from the United Indoor Football or its successor, the Indoor Football League, to use the name; the IFL continues to use the United Bowl name.) When the UFL delayed its start until 2009, the game was moved to the corresponding date in 2009 and kept in Las Vegas.
The Tuskers were the top team in the UFL's premiere season, finishing the regular season with a perfect 6–0 record. Coached by Jim Haslett, the Tuskers led the league in scoring, putting up 217 points behind an offense featuring quarterback Brooks Bollinger (the league leader in completion percentage, passing yards, and TD throws), running back Tatum Bell, and receiver Taye Biddle (the league leader in receiving yards). The Tuskers' defense included such players as Dexter Jackson, a former Super Bowl MVP with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Tuskers secured a spot in the championship game with an October 30 win over the Locos at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida.
The Locomotives, victors of the first game in UFL history (30–17 over the California Redwoods on October 8, 2009), sported a roster including quarterback J. P. Losman, running back DeDe Dorsey (the league's 2nd leading rusher), linebacker Teddy Lehman (the league leader in tackles), and lineman Eric Henderson (who shared the regular season lead in sacks with Tuskers lineman Patrick Chukwurah). Coached by Jim Fassel, the Locos finished with a 4-2 record after starting the season 1-2 (both losses were to the Tuskers—a 29-15 home loss on October 14 and the above mentioned loss in St. Petersburg); they secured their berth in the title game with a 16–10 win at California on November 14.
