From last minute touchdowns to break out stars, Week 3 of the XFL had it all.
Saturday night kicked off the weekend slate with some late drama as the Seattle Sea Dragons rallied past the Vegas Vipers to move to 1-2 on the season. With just 1:12 left on the clock in the fourth quarter, Sea Dragons’ quarterback Ben DiNucci found Josh Gordon for a 65-yard touchdown to cap off a comeback win for Seattle. The touchdown reception was Gordon’s second of the game and third of the season as he continues to be one of the league’s best offensive weapons.
The DC Defenders were the first team to notch three wins this season while the Arlington Renegades outlasted the Orlando Guardians, 10-9, in a defensive struggle.
Here are all this week’s highlights.
All XFL games will be streamed live on ESPN+ and are available on the ESPN family of networks (ABC, ESPN and FX).
