Washington 3 at Chicago 31

1983 Week 10 - Sunday, May 8, 1983
Washington Federals(1-8) at Chicago Blitz(6-3)(-12)
Attendance: 11,300

CHICAGO(AP) - The powerhouse teams of the United States Football League lived up to their billing over the weekend, headed by Chicago's 31-3 romp over the hapless Washington Federals.

At Chicago, Tim Spencer and Kevin Long each scored two touchdowns for the Blitz. The Federals, 1-9, have now lost six straight, but they averted a shutout when Dale Castro booted a 21-yard field goal in the third period following a 55-yard pass from Kim McQuilken to Billy Taylor. That was the longest play by the Federals this season and the longest play allowed by Chicago's league-leading defense.

McQuilken started in place of Mike Hohensee, who was hospitalized moments before the game with what doctors diagnosed as an appendicitis attack. The hard-luck Hohensee missed several games early in the season due to an injury.

Sunday, May 8, 1983 at Soldier Field
