Jonathan Hayes has done a nice job with the Battlehawks. Their loss came to Houston in a close game. Jordan Ta’amu is only 22 and has a bright future, probably outside the XFL. St. Louis is a plus-two on TDs, which speaks to the success it had in its opener. Don’t be surprised if Hayes and the Battlehawks give the Defenders a strong run in the East. They are 10-1.
