The Battlehawks kicked off their XFL season in dramatic fashion Sunday afternoon at the Alamodome in San Antonio, rallying for an 18-15 win over the Brahmas.
St. Louis, which struggled mightily on offense through much of the game, trailed 15-3 after the Brahmas’ John Parker Romo connected on a 48-yard field goal with just 3:02 to play.
And that’s when the Battlehawks came to life. The visitors moved 71 yards in eight plays — including a key 33-yard pass from A.J. McCarron to Marcel Ateman — and cut into their deficit with an 18-yard touchdown pass from McCarron to Hakeem Butler with 1:25 left in regulation.
