The San Antonio Brahmas pinned the only loss of the 2024 season on Birmingham.
San Antonio Brahmas cornerback Bopete Keyes breaks up a pass to Birmingham Stallions wide receiver Amari Rodgers during a United Football League game on May 25, 2024, at the Alamodome in San Antonio.Teams that achieve a 31-4 record over the course of three seasons have limited opportunities for revenge games. But the Birmingham Stallions get one on Sunday.
“I think their defensive ends are some of the most athletic in the league with the way that they come off the edge and the pressure that they create on an offense. Their linebackers are not 240 pounds, 6-4; they are athletic, they are fast, they are quick. And what they do is they keep the ball in front of them and they run like heck to the ball. They’re a physical group because of the speed that they create. …The Stallions defense gave up the second-fewest points and yards in the UFL in 2024.
Chases Garbers started at quarterback in the Brahmas’ first three games, then was sidelined by injury until coming off the bench in the Week 8 win over Birmingham. For the first time since he got hurt, Garbers went all the way under center in San Antonio’s semifinal victory over the Battlehawks on Sunday and threw two touchdown passes.
San Antonio ran for a season-high 240 yards last week, buoyed by running back Anthony McFarland’s 69-yard touchdown. “They have an offense that complements their defense very well,” Holtz said. “They don’t turn the ball over a lot, they control the ball, they make first downs, and then you have a limited number of opportunities to beat that defense.”If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
