The Panthers (5-2) were the ones doing the
defending by holding the Defenders to three points in the second
half to extend their season-best winning streak to three games.
Bryce Perkins made his Panthers debut in place of Lewerke at
quarterback and went 11 of 13 for 116 yards. Perkins played in
five games for the Los Angeles Rams in 2022.
Jordan Ta'amu was 10-of-14 passing for 127 yards and a touchdown
as the Defenders (3-4) lost for the third time in their past
four games. DC was held to 58 rushing yards, while Michigan
gained 187 yards on the ground.
Hills and Lewerke each scored their rushing TDs in the first
quarter as the Panthers took a 13-0 lead. They extended their
advantage to 22-6 in the third quarter on Jake Bates' third
field goal of the game.
Brahmas 15, Roughnecks 12
Ryan Santoso drilled a 51-yard field goal as time expired to
lift San Antonio over host Houston.
The Brahmas (5-2) trailed 12-3 late in regulation before an
18-play, 67-yard drive produced John Lovett's 1-yard touchdown
run with 2:28 left. Kevin Hogan then completed a 10-yard pass to
Cody Latimer for the game-tying 3-point conversion.
Roberson fumbled the ensuing kick return, and Teez Tabor
recovered it to set the Brahmas up at Houston's 43-yard line.
For the Roughnecks (1-6), Justin Hall had 69 yards on five
receptions while J.J. Molson made field goals from 48, 31, 62
and 21 yards.
