The 2017 USA Rugby League (USARL) playoffs are underway and this year’s postseason matchups are both intriguing while potentially lopsided at the same time.

A sensational performance from the 17 dressed Mayhem players delivered the finishing blow to the Jacksonville Axemen’s season on Saturday. While it was undoubtedly the Mayhem’s best performance as a unit in 2017, possibly in their history, one performance stood out above the others

The Tampa Mayhem (3-2-1) secured home field advantage for the first round of the 2017 Southern Conference (SC) USA Rugby League (USARL) playoffs after its 30-30 tie Saturday with the Atlanta Rhinos (5-0-1)
