LAS VEGAS, Nov. 7, 2017 – The Las Vegas Spades increase their win streak to five games after beating the Chattanooga Chickadees 141 to 120. The Spades improve their record to 9-1 and sit comfortably at the top of the league standings.

After not playing in the previous week, Matt Ryan led the team in points recording 29.6 points off of 215 yards passing and two touchdowns. Since Week 8, wide receiver Golden Tate has proved to be reliable and came up big in their win with six receptions for 97 yards and one receiving touchdown.

On the defensive side of the ball, the Spades performed well with three sacks, two interceptions, and two fumble recoveries.
