Arena Bowl '88 (or Arena Bowl II) was the Arena Football League's second-ever championship game. This match-up pitted the #2 Detroit Drive (9-3) against the #1 Chicago Bruisers (10-1-1). In this low-scoring contest, the Drive drew first blood with QB Rich Ingold getting a 1-yard TD run, while the Brusiers responded with QB Ben Bennett completing a 3-yard TD pass to WR/DB Mike McDade. In the second quarter, Detroit took control with FB/LB Walter Holman getting an 8-yard TD run, while fellow FB/LB Jim Browne got a 2-yard TD run. After a scoreless third quarter, Chicago managed to respond with FB/LB William Stone getting a 10-yard TD run (with a failed two-point conversion). Afterwards, the Drive wrapped up its first ArenaBowl title with kicker Novo Bojovic getting a 17-yard field goal. With the win, Detroit became the 1988 Arena Football League Champions.
