USFL: Washington Federals v Houston Gamblers

Two weeks later on April 9, 1984 the Washington Federals were at the Astrodome to take on Houston. Houston was coming off a two game losing streak and Washington had not won a game all season. This was a good chance for the Gamblers to get back on the winning track.

USFL: Micigan Panthers v Houston Gamblers
