\n\t\t\t\t\t\tWith spring football rolling to a close just as fast as it started, the Orlando Storm have found themselves in a curious position.Last week, there was a back-and-forth as to whether the newborn Storm would be able to play their home playoff games in the State of Florida, with top venues like the Acrisure Bounce House and Inter&Co stadium unavailable.For just a moment, it seemed the Storm would be playing their first-ever playoff game in Columbus, Ohio. Isolating a fan base and a reputation. But now the Storm have a new deal that will keep them in Florida, Daytona Municipal Stadium. Following the dramatic narrative of home shopping, they face their first game in the UFL playoffs on Sunday. The N0. 1 seed Storm is set to face the DC Defenders. A team they played only a week ago. In that game, the Storm were able to quiet the Defenders and hold them to only 10 points in the first half, and the Storm offense scored 21 in just 2 quarters.Head Coach Anthony Becht is no stranger to the UFL playoffs, making his third appearance this year with the Storm, previously leading the St Louis Battlehawks to a conference championship in 2024.Due to the UFL only being a 3-year-old league, the Storm and the Louisville Kings are the only two teams able to make UFL history as the only teams eligible to win the UFL Bowl in their first year as a team. This marks a big milestone for a league that has had many iterations and \u201cfirst years.\u201dThe Storm will face the Defenders Sunday at 3 p.m. Their offense will be led by a tenacious Jack Plummer, who, along with a solid defense, has handled the ball well this season.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
