Turns out the coach's assessment was pretty much right on, as all four players returned from injuries and had their fingerprints on an impressive win over the Central Division-leading Rush.
After Chicago scored on their opening possession, Harvey took back the ensuing kickoff 54 yards for a touchdown.
Later in the first quarter, McCullough picked off a pass and returned it eight yards for a Rattlers touchdown.
Gray had three passes defensed, and Dukes, although it didn't get reflected on the stat sheet, improved the Rattlers' pass rush, which was anemic in a loss to San Jose the week prior.
The Rattlers led by only four at halftime, but opened things up by outscoring the Rush 21-0 in the third quarter.
The win pushes the Rattlers' record to 6-3, and puts them in a tie for second place in the Western Division with the Utah Blaze.
The Rattlers visit the Blaze Saturday night in Salt Lake City.
