“I run this thing!” Sloter was heard saying while celebrating his touchdown run.

Sloter was dominant in his second career USFL game despite his groin. He finished the game with 25 for 39 with 266 passing yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. Running back Jordan Ellis led the Breakers with 64 rushing yards on 21 attempts.
