History of the Rage

The Orlando Rage was an American football team that played in the XFL during its single season of existence in 2001. The team was based in Orlando, Florida, and played their home games at the Citrus Bowl. Led by head coach Galen Hall, they finished with a 5-5 record and missed out on playoff contention due to tiebreakers. Despite not making it to the playoffs, many fans look back fondly on this short-lived franchise as one of their favorite teams ever fielded in professional sports history.

The Rage were known for having some talented players, including quarterback Jeff Brohm who threw for 1,726 yards and 12 touchdowns over 10 starts during his time with them; running back John Avery, who rushed for 881 yards; wide receiver Yo Murphy who caught 42 passes from Brohm; linebacker Tarek Saleh who led the team with four interceptions; defensive tackle Jerry DeLoach whose three sacks tied him for second-most among all XFL defenders that year; plus several other quality starters throughout both sides of the ball like offensive linemen Mike Flynn & Chris Naeole or cornerback Terrell Buckley to name a few more notable names from this roster's past.

Though they didn't make it into postseason play after missing out via tiebreaker scenarios — which was always something very frustrating about how these leagues determined standings — there is no denying how much fun it must have been watching these guys compete every week while playing inside such an iconic stadium like The Citrus Bowl located right here within Central Florida's backyard! To this day, you still find diehard supporters talking about wanting another shot at seeing what could've been if only given more time together before ultimately being disbanded following the 2001 campaign when the league folded up shop completely shortly thereafter...
