New York, NY (My Sportsbook) - Former QB JOHN ELWAY and DL NEIL SMITH squared off 18 times as members of the Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs respectively. Now, the former AFC West rivals will battle it out from the owners box when Elways defending ArenaBowl champion Colorado Crush (8-3), the second-ranked team in this weeks AFLWA Schutt Sports Top 12 Poll, travel to Kansas City to take on Smiths Brigade (2-9) at Kemper Arena on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. ET on NBC.

Over the course of their meetings, Elways Broncos got the best of Smiths Chiefs with Denver winning 10 of the 18 contests. Smith sacked the elusive Elway a total of 14 times, the most of any defender, including 10 times in Denver. But Elway had success as well throwing 21 touchdowns in the head-to-head meetings.

Colorado OS DAMIAN HARRELL, who Elway boasted as having "the best hands Ive ever seen," continues to mount an assault on the AFL record book. His 38 receiving touchdowns puts him just eight away from the AFL record of 46 and he is on pace for 55 touchdowns which would break the Leagues total touchdown record of 51 set by Albanys EDDIE BROWN in 1996 and matched by BARRY WAGNER the next season with Orlando. Harrell also has caught at least one touchdown in an AFL-record 60 straight games.

The Crush can clinch an American Conference playoff berth with a win over Kansas City or a loss by Chicago, Las Vegas or losses by San Jose and Los Angeles.

Week 12 could go a long way towards determining the pecking order in the Southern Division as the four top teams battle it out in the Drive to ArenaBowl XX Las Vegas.
