Stayin’ alive in St. Louis: Sea Dragons keep XFL playoff dreams alive with huge 30-12 road win over Battlehawks
Knowing a loss would eliminate them from postseason contention, the Sea Dragons picked one hell of a time to have their first blowout win all year, taking apart the favored St. Louis Battlehawks by a score of 30-12 to silence the 31,000+ fans in attendance. Ben DiNucci threw for two touchdowns, emphatically ran for another, and endured some big hits early on to lead his team to a massive victory.
The Sea Dragons took an early 8-0 lead on a T.J. Hammonds touchdown run, followed by a two-point conversion by Phillip Lindsay. St. Louis responded with the next nine points, including a horrific blown coverage touchdown to Shepherd for a 42-yard score. Back came the Sea Dragons in the tail-end of the 2nd quarter with a Josh Gordon grab on 4th-and-1 for 42 yards. A rollout touchdown to Blake Veasy put Seattle up 14-9 at the break.
By far the play of the game was a 3rd-and-15 throw by DiNucci to Jahcour Pearson, who dodged, dashed, and sped his way to a 68-yard touchdown. I’m not joking when I say I’d like Pearson to get a camp tryout with the Seahawks. He leads the XFL in receptions and receiving yards and probably picked up more YAC on this TD than the entire Seahawks team did last year.
