The DC Defenders and the Houston Roughnecks were the only two undefeated teams in the XFL.
But that all changed in Week 3, as the Los Angeles Wildcats downed the Defenders, 39-9, at Dignity Health Sports Park.
Former Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tre McBride was a huge part of that, recording five receptions for 109 yards with two touchdowns and a long catch of 40 yards.
The first came early in the first quarter on a 40-yard pass from quarterback Josh Jones.
