Houston Roughnecks vs. D.C. Defenders | XFL Full Game Highlights 

It really is! Great noise for such a small place!

Yeah, Great crowd! Good sized, made a lot of noise! DC has some of the best fans.

@@PhilAndersonOutside amongst the D.C. teams, D.C. United in MLS and Washington Capitals, of course Washing Nationals, and now D.C. Defenders are the newest to join in success. So cool to see

and lemme add, that comes from H-Town Roughnecks fan lmao (tbf I lived in Virginia for 3 years so I got love for D.C. and the DMV)

Same! I was vending beer, it was a great atmosphere! Who woulda known its so fun to watch a winning football team! 😂

@@5betme what was with the halftime cut-off - total buzzkill!

6-0 means Defenders is the BEST

IDK about beat them but they would put up a fight

a few xfl teams could beat a few nfl teams....Most are nfl guys that didnt have enough roster spots. Roughnecks could beat a few teams in the nfl as well.

@@A7X062388 I doubt it the schemes aren't the same and these teams consist of ex NFL players but most are washed or former bust/journey men players even the Texans on their worst day can beat the XFL team's in a tough fight

No xfl team can beat an nfl team. Every guy on an NFL roster is there for a reason. The XFL players are practice squad players at best for NFL teams.

no way man! Howell is a star qb

not with that tricky tack officiating

Yes. They have proven they can beat teams with the run, or with the pass. And their defense is stiff, bend, but don't break.

My Sea Dragons beg to differ😊

But DC got the run game better than SSD

DC defenders ya heard me

But there can only be one winner sonny 😂

Almost?

It was close at the end of the game when houston put McDonald in

DC is just so good

Probably, The Endzone takes up most of the 18 box.

he was just a little bit off on every one of them

If they play it'll be a division championship. Both are in the north. Last night's game was a championship game preview.

Y’all should’ve learned after we beat stl the first time because we went 3-0. We always said since 2020 we were the best and as it stands today us and Houston both have a all time XFL record of 9-2. We are the best team in this league. And all we face from now on are bottom tier comp

@@RekkaMakks yeah but St Louis definitely has the best fan base and we're still pretty good the only thing is I'm not completely sold on AJ McCarron but it's who we have for right now

@@rasheedlee1 AJ looking good, I miss Jordan though

@@RekkaMakks Houston needs to fix some things, but I think only D.C, St. Louis and Seattle can beat them without playing an exceptional perfect game.

factss

Stop capping

I watched a lot of his highlights when my Titans drafted him. Sucks he didn't even make practice squad. I'm rooting for him

@@unsane78 For reals. It's an even bigger shame that year cause no preseason games, so we never got to see how he played at that level. all and all, thanks JC

Ole McDonald is a great dual threat qb. Short john silvers is just a pocket passer that's nothing without his best recivers. Three straight losses is mostly silvers fault

And who's gonna best them for the divison? Renegades no. Brahmas no. Guardians no comment

We will beat Houston in my opinion. St Louis should have beat D.C. both times. Love A.J but Tamu has been the difference maker. He was awesome the first time in St Louis and Houston not having P.J. hurts them. Talent wise ST. Louis is just as good as D.C. we've just struggled to score at times.

@@isaiahrand-lw2nn Seems like each week Battlehawks improve. Just need to start off better, we certainly turn it up the last few quarters!

@@isaiahrand-lw2nn just as good? Lost twice and struggle to score sometimes says otherwise

@@conorthefurey That's QB for you. I love A.J. but Tamu is the best QB in the league. Huntley and A.J. should be as former pros but they aren't. If I remember right A.J lost both games for us... While it's a team sport he has had some costly picks. Overall, the better the QBs are the better the league will be and the more even or fair it will be for less talented teams. Seattle QB is not the best in the league but he certainly has better wide out options than D.C. lol struggling doesn't mean anything didn't Seattle beat Houston? If Seattle plays D.C sometime in the last few weeks I think they can beat them. Same with ST Louis in a rematch. Just have to have better QB play. I mean I watched Cole McDonald in college and he sucked. He also got lucky a few times tonight. An NFL defense would pick him apart. D.C. is very beatable but has gotten the most production from the QB spot and has won the turnover battle. Turnovers lose games so yes I think there are a few teams on D.C. level but just my opinion.

Yall are probably gonna go 7-3 and lose championship. But that's my opinion

I mean y'all was gonna lose this game regardless because we are the better team but that Seattle lost was terrible 😅 that's when I knew we would beat y'all this week. There was this roughnecks fan in the Defenders highlights comment section last week poppin the most shid about how y'all was gonna give us our first L and I simply responded with Ben Dinucci.

@@YC-zw5eb Ben Dinucci is pretty good, I won't lie. Ta'amu was my 2nd favorite QB from 2020 though. I thought he was way more consistent and reliable than Walker was (my favorite). Was hoping they'd let him return to St. Louis, but glad he's on a great team. Really interesting how most of the teams use a dual QB system, which was a disaster for Tampa Bay in 2020

They were trailing by at least 15 a majority of the game. DC handled Houston.

100% was like watching rona games, with no one in stands except for Stallions game. The product on the field is better too

And dc has swept 1 of those two teams and are a game away from doing so and if that happens, they officially swept the entire north

I still think Houston is top three. Sea Dragons are 4.

😂 y'all had a chance 😂 that's adorable that you think that 😂😂😂😂 a chance? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Y'all all fighting for 2nd place 🥈 anyway. Seadragons? I hear you my guy but that's why they play the game and not talk the game. 6-0 so that means nobody knocked us off yet.

@@YC-zw5eb I didn't say they would for sure win but those are the biggest threats to D.C. Going undefeated or winning. Would you agree? I'm a battlehawks fan and yes we lost both but they were both way better games than any game D.C. has had all year except maybe the Vegas game as far as close...We also destroyed Vegas. Y'all have been opportunistic. Y'all are good and are beatable is all I'm saying. Tamu gets hurt and you're screwed though because that has been what separate y'all from the rest of our teams is a better QB

@@isaiahrand-lw2nn SIX & O my boy! All the hypothetical hypotheses that you're formulating hold no merit so no I wouldn't agree with you at all.

​@@isaiahrand-lw2nn wrong. Seattle played the defenders the best... only lost 22-18. Defenders swept the sorry Battlehawks, winning by more than 4 both times. Battlehawks aren't a threat, but Seadragons are. Btw, I got Roughnecks over Battlehawks next week... no way they lose 3 in a row.

I'm covered in his semen
