USFFL - SUPER BOWL V - (2004)

USFFL Super Bowl V featured an unlikely match-up between teams with different stories.

Representing the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (15-1) were undefeated at 15-0 until they lost in the final weekend of the season to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Representing the NFC, the Detroit Lions. Yes the Detroit Lions that is not a typo error. An excellent coaching job by Vince Trivelpiece led the surprising Lions to the big game.

The game was close right until the 4th qtr when SD scored two TDs to pull away and win the USFFL Year V Super Bowl, 24-10. This Super Bowl gave Head Coach Barry Cohen his 2nd Super Bowl Championship in 5 years! His previous Super Bowl came while coaching the Tampa Buccaneers.

Detroit was held to 199 total yards for the game and only 11 first downs. Detroit Lions only TD came on Bly INT return which tied the score at 10-10 after 3 quarters. Meanwhile San Diego gained 470 total yards and controlled the clock for nearly 33 minutes. LT had 2 TDs (1 rushing and 1 receiving). Gates had the other TD for the Chargers.
