BattleHawks vs. Sea Dragons

The St. Louis BattleHawks continue to show the XFL what’s possible by embracing their new fanbase. The BattleHawks defeated the Seattle Sea Dragons 23-16 and it was never really close. The Sea Dragons continue to struggle at quarterback. Brandon Silvers got benched for B.J. Daniels and Daniels helped the Sea Dragons find some life in the closing minutes of the game, rushing for 84 yards and throwing for a touchdown. The play of MVP candidate Jordan Ta’amu was too much for the Sea Dragons inconsistent offense, however.

BattleHawks – QB Jordan Ta’amu

Jordan Ta’amu may have taken the lead in the MVP race. Not only is his arguably the leagues most popular player for his team’s fanbase, but he is the most efficient in the league. Ta’amu racked up 264 yards passing, and another 63 rushing, leading the team in both categories. Ta’amu also did it in front of his family, which had to be a special moment for him.

BattleHawks – Dexter McCoil

Dexter McCoil seems to be the player to watch on the BattleHawks defense, as he racked up another seven tackles this week. The former CFL standout and Grey Cup winner is looking more and more like a starting-caliber NFL safety.

Sea Dragons – Steven Johnson

The Sea Dragons have at least one consistent standout in linebacker Steve Johnson, who’s leading the XFL in tackles right now. Johnson racked up another eight combined tackles for the Sea Dragons, letting the Seattle faithful know that they have at least one player they can rely on each and every week.

Notes: The Sea Dragons may have found some offense with B.J. Daniels, who showed hints of playmaking ability in relief. Austin Proehl continues to be inconsistent, having a down week thanks in part to inconsistent quarterback play. Will Hill made a huge play and picked off the Sea Dragons, which ultimately ended the game.
