The DC Defenders (4-2) hit the road for a Week 7 clash with the struggling San Antonio Brahmas (1-5) on Friday night at the Alamodome, as both UFL squads look to bounce back from lopsided losses.
DC is licking its wounds after a tough 38-14 defeat to the Michigan Panthers in Week 6, a game where their defense was shredded for 401 total yards and failed to get consistent stops. Offensively, the Defenders couldn’t find a rhythm, putting them in a position to regroup quickly before heading south.
Meanwhile, San Antonio continues to search for answers. The Brahmas were dismantled 26-3 by the Birmingham Stallions last week, managing just 24 rushing yards on 13 attempts, a paltry average of 1.8 yards per carry that underscores their offensive woes.
