Massive brawl breaks out near end of Defenders’ win over Battlehawks in XFL 2023

A wild finish to the Defenders’ XFL win over the Battlehawks saw both teams in a fight

The XFL game between the St. Louis Battlehawks and D.C. Defenders was chippy throughout Sunday. It turned into a full-fledged WWE melee at the end of the Defenders’ 34-28 victory.

After the Battlehawks scored to close within 6, they attempted the make-it-take-it option of converting a fourth-and-15, the league’s alternative to onside kicks.

AJ McCarron of St. Louis was sacked and all hell broke loose.

Both teams were on the field. Fists were flying, and so was a helmet. Three players were ejected.

In the actual game, the Battlehawks erased a double-digit deficit for the third straight game but four turnovers proved their undoing.

Jordan Ta’amu ran for a touchdown and threw for one as the Defenders remained undefeated.

McCarron passed for 262 yards and 4 touchdowns. He also threw 2 picks.
