Saturday night's win brought Watertown its first Empire Football League title since 1980 erasing painful memories of championship disappointments from 2003, 2006, and 2007.

The Empire Football League formally concluded its regular season schedule on September 19th.  The playoff format will consist of the top 6 teams and playoffs are scheduled to start September 26th.  The Binghamton at Quebec game previously scheduled for August 8th was not played due to a scheduling mix-up. This game had previously been ruled as a game not played pending a decision at the September 20th Season Conclusion meeting. The EFL's Judiciary Committee officially ruled this game as a no fault forfeit awarding the win to the Quebec Titans.

This resulted in the following season ending records:
