Several former Pittsburgh Steelers are set to take place in next weekend’s UFL Championship Game between the D.C. Defenders versus the Michigan Panthers. Both teams punched their ticker with conference titles Sunday. The Defenders blew out the St. Louis Battlehawks 36-18 while the Panthers defeated the Birmingham Stallions in similar fashion, 44-29.
Both teams are populated by ex-Steelers, though they’re largely made up of ones who only spent time in training camp with the team and not regular season action. For the Defenders, OT Tykeem Doss, RB Darius Hagans, CB Kiondre Thoams, OL Jarrid Williams, and CB Isaiah Johnson apply.
