LOVELAND, Colo. Playing the rubber game of a tough physical battle between two well matched teams on a sunny Sunday afternoon was vastly entertaining to the large crowd of Eagles fans at the Budweiser Events Center in Loveland, Colorado. With lots of penalty time, a few fights, a lot of bad blood, two ejections for the visiting team (one player and one head coach) but most importantly to the home crowd was a Colorado win.
Here are a selection of the best shots of the game:
