ASHWAUBENON, Wis. (WFRV) – The Green Bay Blizzard opened up their 2026 season with a win over the defending champion Las Vegas Knight Hawks, 37-35, on Monday Night.
The last time these teams faced off was in August for the IFL championship game, which Vegas won 64-61. This time around, it was Green Bay making a key defensive play with under a minute remaining as newcomer, and first team all-IFL last year, Johnathan Ross held on to a fumbled handoff that fell right into his lap.
It was a very non-traditional game because of the record-setting snowstorm as the Resch Center was closed to the public, so the home opener was played in front of an empty arena.
