Shaw caught 12 passes for 181 yards and three touchdowns in the Storm's 55-51 win over Austin that clinched the third seed and a home game in the opening round of the playoffs this weekend.

Shaw's 40-yard scoring reception in the second quarter gave Tampa Bay a 18-13 lead. He then made two huge catches in the fourth quarter, both of which tied the score.

With 13:20 remaining, he caught a 9-yard strike from Brett Dietz to make it 34-34, and then tied it at 48 on a 4-yard touchdown reception. On the game-winning drive, Shaw made a key 8-yard catch that moved Tampa Bay to the Austin 3 with 22 seconds remaining.

The Storm (9-7) finished second in the Southern Division after starting the season 0-5, and will face Columbus on Saturday in the St. Pete Times Forum in a wild-card game.
