FEB 2023

The 2023 USA Wheelchair Football League Championship was a title game rematch between the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Rams and held at Camelback Ranch in Phoenix, AZ. The players were cheered on by an enthusiastic and patriotic crowd of family, friends, NFL fans, and the local community. 

It was a hard fought game full of big plays  and very stingy defense. In the end, the Kansas City Chiefs prevailed 7-0.  Perennial NFL Pro-Bowler Cam Jordan, of the New Orleans Saints, was on hand to lead the coin toss, cheer on the players, and greet the fans.  

Mascots and cheerleaders from both NFL Super Bowl teams, the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs, also made appearances, signed autographs, and posed for pictures with eager fans. 

The event included participation from Airmen from the nearby Luke Air Force Base who served as the honor guard, presented the colors, and provided a stirring saxophone rendition of the Star Spangled Banner.

The NFL has partnered with the Bob Woodruff Foundation (BWF) to expand their Salute to Service initiative in support of those who have served in the military and their families. Bob Woodruff, of ABC News,  was in attendance and conducted interviews with many Veterans that play on both teams.
