Being a waiver claim for the Dallas Birddogs I'm not too sure about the teams history as a whole and who their rival or rivals are so I'll just pick Kansas City.
Losing a game is never an easy thing, it can affect the standings and hurt your team in the playoff hunt and if the team is already having a rocky season it can make it even harder. Losing to a rival like Kansas City however can sometimes derail an entire season depending on how big the loss is. This time after a close overtime loss, Arnie Rufus quickly understands how much this hurts his fellow teammates. Its a different feel in the locker room when you lose to a rival team, heads hang a little bit lower, speeches are more meaningful but harder to hear. These type of losses sting but Dallas looks like they will recover sooner rather than later. All around him Arnie sees people comforting each other and the team making sure that this loss doesn't ruin the season. They know they just got punched in the mouth but its clear that Dallas will stand tall and after the initial hurt from the loss they'll be ready for the next game.
