Burley caught two of his scoring passes in the first quarter of the Blaze's 65-62 upset victory on the road at Orlando. With the win, Utah remains in contention for a playoff spot in the American Conference.

All of Burley's touchdown receptions went for longer than 12 yards, and his final grab – with 43 seconds remaining – all but put the game away, giving the Blaze a 65-55 lead. The six-year veteran from Central Florida, had more than half of Joe Germaine's 27 receptions.

Burley leads the league with 1,837 receiving yards, and is tied with Bobby Sippio for an AFL-best 41 touchdowns this season.
