Without QB A.J. McCarron, Battlehawks rally for win in OT vs. Vegas Vipers

The St. Louis Battlehawks’ depth was put to the test Saturday afternoon at The Dome at America’s Center.

And the home team somehow stole a win in overtime.

After trailing throughout the XFL game at The Dome at America’s Center, the Battlehawks, who were without injured quarterback A.J. McCarron, rallied to tie the game late and beat the visiting Vegas Vipers 21-17 in overtime.

St. Louis improved to 6-2 overall while Vegas fell to 2-6.

Overtime in the XFL is determined by three alternating two-point tries from the 5-yard line.

Vegas appeared to score on its first try, but a review showed the pass play came up short.
