Behind the dominant play of Nick Davila and a defense that continues to shine, the Arizona Rattlers improved to 5-0 on the season with a 68-21 victory over the Portland Steel on Saturday night at the Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix.
Normally it's the Rattlers offense that takes center stage. But on Saturday, it was the Rattlers defense that dominated.
After the Steel scored on the games first possession, Arizona's defense did not allow for almost 27 minutes. The offense did its job in that time period as Nick Davila threw three touchdown passes to help Arizona take a 34-14 lead into halftime.

Arizona's defense then set the tone for the second half as they registered 5 sacks on Steel quarterback Kasey Peters, who started for the injured Darren Thomas. After holding the Steel to just 28 points on opening night, Arizona kept Portland in check again Saturday, as they ran away with the game in the third quarter.
