DENVER -- Fullback Larry Canada bolted for two fourth-quarter touchdowns as the Chicago Blitz exploded for 23 points in the final period to upset the Denver Gold 29-17.
Chicago snapped a two-game losing streak and raised its record to 4-8, while Pacific Division-leading Denver suffered its fourth straight loss and fell to 7-5.
