SUNRISE, Florida (Ticker) -- The Florida Bobcats look to climb to the .500 mark when they host the Chicago Rush in the first-ever meeting between the two teams. Florida is coming off a 51-41 loss at the hands of Nashville a week ago. Bobcats quarterback Rickey Foggie went 19-of-33 for 229 yards, three touchdowns and an interception in the defeat. He is ranked third in the league with 276 passing yards per game and is 10th with a 106.6 quarterback rating. Bernard Holmes left the game with bruised ribs, but not before returning six kicks for 113 yards and making four receptions for 51 yards and a pair of scores. Holmes is ranked fifth in the league in all-purpose yards with 1,326. The Bobcats are the third-best passing team in the league, averaging 273 yards per game. They also protect the quarterback well, having allowed just three sacks all season. Florida often has trouble generating a running game, as witnessed by last week's two-yard performance on the ground. After a 1-2 start, Chicago has won three of its last four games. Dameon Porter had five receptions for 118 yards and two touchdowns in the Rush's 48-43 victory over Houston last week. Porter leads the league with eight interceptions. Chicago quarterback Billy Dicken completed 16-of-32 passes for 196 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions in the victory. Joe Douglass returned three kicks for 101 yards and caught six passes for 64 yards and a touchdown. Douglass is 10th in the league with 46 receptions. Dicken has played so well since taking over at quarterback for Jeff Loots in Week 4 that Chicago traded Loots back to Oklahoma, his former team, on Wednesday.
