UFL Outline Week 5

Sorry this week is coming out late, got busy, but here it is. Week 5 of the UFL season delivered another round of exciting games, with upsets shaking up the standings and the playoff picture tightening considerably. While attendance concerns persist, the on-field drama continues to captivate fans, even though this week saw a surprising drop in long-range kicking success compared to previous weeks. Let's dive into the action:

Game Recap

Brahmas (25) vs Renegades (15)

The San Antonio Brahmas leaned on their strong running game to overpower the Arlington Renegades. Led by veteran back Brandon Powell, the Brahmas controlled the clock and kept the Renegades' defense on its heels. The Brahmas' defense also played a key role, forcing turnovers and limiting the Renegades' scoring opportunities. This win keeps San Antonio in the thick of the playoff race.

Stallions (32) vs Roughnecks (9)

The Birmingham Stallions faced their toughest test yet but emerged victorious against the surging Houston Roughnecks. Their dominant running game, led by C.J. Marable, controlled the tempo and kept the Roughnecks' offense off the field. The Stallions' defense also deserves credit, limiting the Roughnecks to a mere nine points. This win keeps Birmingham undefeated and solidifies their position as the team to beat.

Battlehawks (45) vs Defenders (12)

The St. Louis Battlehawks continued their dominance with a runaway victory over the D.C. Defenders on the road. Quarterback AJ McCarron orchestrated a record-setting performance, throwing for five touchdowns, the most in a single UFL game this season. The Battlehawks' defense also put on a clinic, shutting down the Defenders' offense for most of the game. This win puts St. Louis firmly in the conversation for the UFL championship.

Panthers (35) vs Showboats (18)

In a complete reversal from their Week 1 matchup, the Michigan Panthers dominated the Memphis Showboats in a high-scoring affair. Running back Wes Hills had a breakout game, rushing for three touchdowns. Quarterback E.J. Perry also looked sharp, throwing for over 300 yards and a touchdown. The Showboats' defense struggled to contain the Panthers' offense all game long. This win keeps the Panthers' playoff hopes alive.
