The Seattle Sea Dragons (5-3) are on the cusp of being eliminated from XFL postseason play after their five-game win streak was snapped by the DC Defenders (7-1) in a 34-33 thriller at a rainy Lumen Field on Sunday afternoon. Once again, an inability to score in short yardage cost the Sea Dragons in the closing seconds, and it may cost them their season.
Seattle’s offense was largely ineffective in the 1st half, with former Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay getting the Sea Dragons’ only points on a short-yardage touchdown. Keep in mind that defensive pass interference on a 3-point conversion gave Seattle a 3-point try at the 1-yard line, and they got stuffed.
