Arena Bowl '92 (or Arena Bowl VI) was the Arena Football League's sixth Arena Bowl. In this match-up, it pitted the #2 Detroit Drive (8-2) against the #1 Orlando Predators (9-1). Earlier in the regular season, these two teams met with the Predators winning 50-49 in the "Miracle Minute." Now, Detroit was out to get revenge, while Orlando was trying to prove that their win over the Drive was no fluke.
In the first quarter, the Predators struck first with Kicker Jorge Cimadevilla getting a 48-yard Field Goal. The Drive responded with FB/LB Broderick Sargent getting a 1-yard TD run. Afterwards, Orlando responded with Cimadevilla kicking a 36-yard Field Goal. In the second quarter, Cimadevilla went right back to work for the Predators with a 26-yard Field Goal, yet Detroit came right back with WR/DB Rodney McSwain recovering an Orlando fumble in the endzone for a touchdown. Afterwards, the Predators responded with QB Ben Bennett completing an 8-yard TD pass to OL/DL Eric Drakes. Immediately after Orlando's score, the Drive struck again with OS George LaFrance returning a kickoff 57 yards for a touchdown. Afterwards, the Predators closed out the half with Bennett completing an 8-yard TD pass to WR/DB Carl Aikens. In the third quarter, Detroit started taking control with OL/DL Flint Fleming getting a 1-yard TD run, while QB Gilbert Renfroe completed a 24-yard TD pass to LaFrance. In the fourth quarter, Orlando tried to fight back with Cimadevilla nailing a 31-yard Field Goal, yet Detroit replied with Renfroe completing a 15-yard TD pass to Langeloh (the kicker). The Predators tried to answer back with Bennett completing a 20-yard TD pass to WR/DB Herkie Walls (with a failed PAT), yet the Drive answered with Renfroe completing a 17-yard TD pass to WR/DB Gary Mullen. Afterwards, all that was left of Orlando's comeback was Bennett's 7-yard TD pass to WR/LB Bryan Moore.
With the win, Detroit won its fourth Arena Bowl title in five seasons.
