2010 UFL Championship Game
The 2010 UFL Championship Game was the concluding game of the United Football League's 2010 season. The game was staged at Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha, Nebraska on Saturday, November 27, 2010, and saw the Las Vegas Locomotives repeat as league champions, defeating the Florida Tuskers by a 23–20 score.
==Background==
The UFL did not settle on a Championship Game site until mid-season, choosing to rely on a formula that took into consideration "advance ticket and merchandise sales, energy for all events prior to the season starting, and team record" to determine a site.〔 The Omaha Nighthawks, who hosted the first sellout game in league history and the first game with over 20,000 tickets sold, were chosen as the hosts for the championship game on October 18, 2010.〔 The game was the last scheduled event at Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium, which served as the Nighthawks' home field in 2010 (the team moved to TD Ameritrade Park in 2011). The selection of Omaha required the UFL to move the date for the title game, from Friday, November 26 to Saturday, November 27 (the former date stood in conflict with a Nebraska Cornhuskers home game in Lincoln, a rivalry game with Colorado that is traditionally held on the day after Thanksgiving).
Las Vegas, the UFL's defending champions, lost their season opener to Florida, 27–20, but pulled off a five-game winning streak after a Week 2 bye, securing a berth in the title game after Week 7. Before earning that spot, however, starting quarterback Tim Rattay went down with a ruptured Achilles tendon, and was placed on the injured reserve list. With Rattay out for the rest of the season, the Locos relied on backup quarterbacks Drew Willy and Chase Clement for the team's final three regular season games, the last two of which resulted in losses, giving the Locos a 5–3 record going into the title game.
The Tuskers, who lost to the Locos in the 2009 title game and were now under the leadership of new coach Jay Gruden, began with the aforementioned Week 1 win at Las Vegas that was followed by late-second losses at Sacramento and to Las Vegas at home. Going into Week 8, the Tuskers had a 2–3 record and were in danger of being eliminated from playoff contention. At that point, the Tuskers decided to sideline 2009 league MVP Brooks Bollinger, who was suffering from a rib injury, in favor of backup Chris Greisen. The Tuskers would pull off convincing home wins over Omaha and Hartford, but still needed a 27–10 win at Omaha on Week 10 to secure a Championship Game berth. (Had the Tuskers lost, Sacramento would have advanced on tiebreakers.)
