With their bye week behind them, the Soul begin the homestretch of the season tonight when they face Baltimore at 7 p.m. on the road.
Philly has already met Baltimore twice throughout their undefeated season to date, looking dominant through most of the matches but had to edge out the second game after letting a lead slip.
Baltimore is in the midst of a fight to make the playoffs with four games remaining, currently sitting two games ahead of Washington.
Two of Baltimore's three games have come at home this season, and they'll certainly be fired up to try and knock off the undefeated defending world champions.
For the Soul, the focus should not be on all the chatter from around the league discussing if Philly will have the first undefeated season in AFL history.
That's a debate for another time. Tonight, the Soul have the opportunity to inch closer to clinching home field throughout the Arena Bowl, with their magic number currently at two.
The Storm are in action tonight against Washington, and a Philly win plus a Tampa loss would clinch home field for the Soul with three weeks remaining in the regular season.
The name of the game is to stay focused, keep momentum rolling and most of all, avoid injuries.
It'll be an interesting match to see how Philly does tonight right out the bye week. It'll also be interesting if Baltimore sports legend Joe Flacco wears another Soul jersey to this match up.
