DUBUQUE, Iowa – August 23, 2025 – The Five Flags Civic Center was a cauldron of excitement Saturday night as the Iowa Power Arena Football Team delivered a commanding 48-6 rout over the Kansas City Bulldogs in a thrilling exhibition matchup. The Power’s relentless defense and explosive offense proved too much for the Bulldogs, cementing Iowa’s dominance in their inaugural season warm-up at the “Power Plant.”

The game started with a steady rhythm for the Iowa Power, who built a 20-6 lead by halftime, showcasing their offensive versatility and defensive tenacity. However, it was the third quarter where the Power truly flipped the switch, electrifying the Dubuque crowd with a defensive masterclass led by standout Devarion Williams. The defensive back stole the show with back-to-back interceptions, both returned for touchdowns, effectively slamming the door on any hopes of a Kansas City comeback. Williams’ pick-sixes ignited the arena, sending fans into a frenzy and extending the Power’s lead to an insurmountable margin.

The Power’s defense was suffocating throughout the night, limiting the Bulldogs to just six points while forcing multiple turnovers. Williams’ heroics were complemented by a relentless front line, with defensive linemen Trey Robinson and Malik Smith applying constant pressure on the Kansas City quarterback. The Bulldogs struggled to find any offensive rhythm, unable to counter Iowa’s aggressive 8-on-8 arena football style.

On the offensive side, the Power were equally impressive, turning the exhibition into a showcase of their high-octane attack. Quarterback Trey Roberson was surgical, connecting with receivers for big gains and orchestrating a balanced offensive onslaught. Running back Anthony Smith powered through the Bulldogs’ defense, while wide receiver TreA’vonii Page hauled in key receptions, including a highlight-reel catch in the end zone. The offense’s ability to sustain long drives and capitalize on short fields created by the defense ensured a blowout victory.

As the Iowa Power gear up for their regular season opener on September 6 against the St. Paul Bears, Saturday’s performance sets a high bar. With a defense capable of game-changing plays and an offense that can score at will, the Power are poised to make waves in the UIFA. Fans can catch all the action through QueenB Radio’s family of stations, including Dubuque’s Super Hits 106 and ESPN Radio AM1590 WPVL, as the team continues to #PowerUp in 2025.
