The Indoor Football League’s Week 14 schedule unfolded across multiple venues, featuring a slate of high‑stakes matchups that kept fans glued to their screens.

In the Western Conference, the Vegas Knight Hawks endured a tense overtime showdown before edging the NAZ Wranglers 71‑70. The win not only secured a crucial triumph but also propelled the Knight Hawks to the apex of the coaches' poll, reshaping the early‑season hierarchy.
Individual brilliance was recognized through the league’s Player of the Week awards.

Special Teams accolades went to Nestor Manuel Higuera of the NAZ Wranglers, who contributed fourteen points through a combination of field goals and extra points.
