The Iron took down the previous year's ArenaCup champions behind the arm of Chris Greisen. Scoring was scarce in the 1st quarter, with each team putting only a touchdown on the board. In the 2nd quarter, both teams combined for five touchdowns in the final minute before halftime, with the Iron intercepting a pass and returning for a touchdown as time expired, allowing them to take a 34–21 lead. In the 2nd half, the two teams matched one touchdown with another until the 4th quarter when the Shock made it a one-possession game. However a late interception by the Iron, followed by a touchdown on the ensuing drive, sealed the win for them, despite giving up a touchdown to Spokane as time expired.
Chris Greisen threw for 317 yards and 9 touchdowns and did not throw a single interception. Nate Forse was the leading receiver for the Iron with 128 yards and 3 touchdowns.

Two Midwestern foes found themselves head to head this weekend. The Iowa Barnstormers traveled to Milwaukee, Wisconsin to take on the Iron in their first of two meetings this season. Milwaukee won their home opener in front of the crowd of 5,032 Iron faithful. QB Chris Greisen continued his dominance at the quarterback position, throwing 25-of-36 for 382 yards and seven touchdowns. Greisen has yet to throw an interception this season. While Greisen continues to shine, it is his offensive counterparts that are successful in bringing the ball into the end zone. WRs Nate Forse and Anthony “Tiger” Jones have proven to be Greisen's perfect receiving duo. Jones brought in three touchdowns on 12 catches for 171 yards this weekend, while Forse made 10 catches for 146 yards and three scores. Greisen's seventh touchdown was caught by Alvance Robinson. Not to be outdone, Milwaukee's defense also helped to hold off and Barnstormers serge. Marcus Everett intercepted QB Ryan Vena's first possession of the game, eventually leading to an Iron score. Milwaukee managed to pull ahead 13–0 before the Barnstormers got into the game. WR Todd Blythe, known for his athletic catches, caught a pass deep in the corner of the end zone to bring the score to 6–13, but Milwaukee would never once trail throughout the game.
Iowa's QB Vena was intercepted twice, including a game-highlighting play. Milwaukee's Virgil Gray nabbed an erratic Vena pass in the end zone, not only disrupting a score for the Barnstormers, but also proceeded to run the ball back 58 yards for a score of his own. Despite two players leaving with injuries in the second half, Milwaukee was able to hold off the Barnstormers and come away with the 17-point win.

Trailing at halftime for the first time in the season by a score of 34–31, the Iron capitalized on Tampa Bay's turnovers to stay undefeated and keep up with the also undefeated Chicago Rush. One key turnover for Milwaukee was a fumble recovery inside their own 5-yard line after the defense had just been flagged for an illegal defense, which gave the Storm an automatic 1st down instead of facing 4th and goal. Following the turnover, quarterback Chris Greisen led the Iron to the end zone by taking it there himself for his first rushing touchdown of the season. Taking an 11-point lead in the 4th quarter, the Iron were ahead for good. Griesen finished with 270 passing yards and 8 total touchdowns. Carlton Brown and Perry Kyles each had an interception on defense.

In their first ever nationally televised game, it took overtime for the Iron to defeat the blaze. Milwaukee won the overtime coin toss but decided to give Utah the ball first. Utah's Aaron Boone caught his seventh touchdown of the game to give his team a 55–48 lead. Greisen, who threw for 308 yards and six touchdowns, then hit a wide-open Jones in the middle of the field for a 43-yard touchdown to make the score 55–54. Greisen then connected with Nate Forse for the two-point conversion to end the game. Overshadowed in the crazy ending was the fact Milwaukee wide receiver Damian Harrell set the Arena Football League all-time record for career receiving yards. He had six catches for 75 yards to increase his all-time total to 13,398 yards.
