Seattle Sea Dragons vs. DC Defenders | XFL on ESPN | Full Game Highlights 

What an amazing fan turnout!! Hope to see a lot more of this throughout the league this year!

Seattle turning the ball over at the goal line is bringing back some flashbacks…

GREAT opening week for the XFL. Four good games, three of them close, two dramatic endings. Good crowds at all stadiums.

This is actually really good football. I see the XFL staying around this time

The lemon rebellion ended up being the turning point of the game.

this games felt like the beginning of a rivalry, so much heat between the Seattle players and the DC fans. I'm gonna start calling this, the Lemon Classic, just for fun 😁🍋

I have to admit, these players are motivated and actually look pretty skilled. This better not fold this time!

Every XFL game I've watched has been exciting and excellent football. Love how they use different angles on plays it really shows there athleticism..

The beer snake must never die

This was the most fun I've ever had at a pro sports event. DC fans are crazy. 😂 I will be definitely going to more games.

I absolutely love how the officials are mic'd up with a live video feed for play reviews, what a genius idea

The real question is how tf did they get lemons

The officiating was still 100X better than any NFL games at least in the past 3 seasons.

Let this be a lesson, don't touch our Cup Snake ever again

Here ladies and gentlemen is the beginning of an amazing rivalry. Potentially the Ravens Steelers of the XFL. These two teams are gonna be going at it hopefully for years to come

Wild game! Insane way to end Week 1 of the XFL! Great to have the XFL back! ❌🏈 DiNucci, Come On Man!

Probably the best game this week

This game turned me from a skeptical fan, to a dedicated one. Bought my DC Defenders shirt this morning

Well, screw the Washington Commanders, The DC Defenders are the real Washington, DC team! Let’s go Defenders!

Josh Gordon finally getting to shine again.

Glad xfl is back🔥

Gotta admit I love how rowdy the DC fans were after that pick six! I hope Washington can have that same passion again after Dan sells the team.

ppl saying xfl level is bad why don’t they do there and play 😂

Nice to see the support for the XFL! Hopefully it’ll be a alternative to the nfl since it’s been questionable in terms officiating lately

Best TV ratings & fan support always great on week#1 in any league (XFL 2001) I can only hope in 2023 both ratings & support stay consistent or improve. Yeah, Baby!

Let’s go DC DEFENDERS 🛡️

I'm actually loving the XFL so far. Especially the rules and talent level. A lot better then I thought it'd be

The Rock did it right! What a Great Weekend of Football and I'm loving the rule changes

Am going to the game on the 5th. Seats right in the middle of the Lemon Zone.

So many great games to start the XFL season! Excited to see how the rest of the season goes🙏

Wow another really good game. This was a great opening week for the XFL I'm actually kind of surprised how much I enjoyed the games this weekend

Wow, DC seems to have a great home crowd! I watched all the games this weekend and no home crowd was as into their team as this one.

Great game. This time it's gonna be big . Glad to see XFL on the rise🤟

Loved seeing the heart these players and coaches show, the fans too.. this league turning serious. Those players fighting for that ball at the end, not letting go, watch out, this might be the official G league of the NFL soon, all the retired kings going here to play the game they love a bit more with others at a high level for a nice check. Can’t wait to see other players later years

The XFL makes football more exciting to watch again! I can barely get thru a NFL game without falling asleep 😴😴😴

All 4 Xfl games were more entertaining then the ASG

🍻🐍🍋🍋🍋

I'm Glad too see Ta'amu playing

that beer snake is about to become a d.c meme

I like the XFL games I’ve seen so far. Seeing my boy Josh Gordon brought a tear to my eye. Calling it now Aj McCarron, Kellen Ballage and Allison Geranimo will be back in the NFL.

This is better than any Thursday night nfl game.

Xfl has to do a better job marketing this. I barely even knew it had already started. Much less…1k views means not enough people know this is going on

Citrus smell on this dub

Soooo geeked for the xfl 😁😁, man this weekend was a great turnout. The refs let the players tackle, and the style of play was good!

Nice product. This XFL is fun to watch. I can’t wait to go to a game at Audi field to see the Defenders. It’s a great stadium actually. And now, maybe, we will have a good football team here in DC!

I like the XFL. Hopefully it and the USFL stick around.

That's right DC!!!!!! The 202!!! Beer snakes, lemons, and all!!!

Xfl is just what I need after the NFL season, fills the void at least a little

Now this is football

Great weekend for the XFL

9:04-9:27 is exactly why i love this idea. not the throw, just the pure inebriated emotions.

There was more than just football this game. There was a story. That story is about The Beer Snake.

Free the beer snake

DC showed some fight!!!

I'm an eagles and DC defenders fan, but that td at 0:53 felt like I was watching Patrick mahomes lmao. What a play

DC defenders fans have that crackhead energy. S-Tier fans.

The BattleHawks and Defenders have the best fans in the XFL

Tough L, but good hard fought game by Seattle. GG DC

Defenders > Commanders

I love this they actrully allowing them to Hit!!!!! Fans will gradually watch this just cuz is close to pure football!!!

Enjoy this a whole lot more than the NFL.

This game was wild

Can’t lie. I’m liking the new XFL. Looking forward to next week’s games.

The DC crowd is the most passionate and hilarious that I’ve seen 😂. Looked like a bunch of soccer hooligans in the back of that end zone.

Alright… you got me watching the XFL well played!

Lots of ex- NFL players and coaches, and other great D1 college talent who just missed the NFL…this is a good product. Glad so many of these people are getting a chance to play and call games again.

Atleast they tried to run the ball

I love to see some of the players that don't necessarily shine in the NFL get some TV exposure compared to some of the stars in the NFL.

So fun to watch !!!

Wildest game I ever been to

Free the snake!!🍺🐍

I live these full game highlights, can see all the action from the league in an hour 😊

😂 😂 glad I bet live when dc was losing I knew dc was gonna comeback in win plus I took Nebraska over Maryland.. like cube said today was a good day 💯 💰

As a Seahawks Fan from Germany , i love to see Gordon in the Dragons Team and Dominik Eberle as our Kicker ! Lets , go good Game Dragons but the playcalling has to be more different, then it will also work with the victories! DeNucci needs to convince more!

Gordon deserves more chances. Weed can’t stop greatness

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson buying the XFL is what will finally push the league into success. Like Vince McMahon, he's an extremely experienced entertainer and promoter, but unlike Vince, he's actually a football player. He understands what the game is, and what it means to its players and its fans. Vince was fully invested in terms of his wallet, but Dwayne is fully invested with his wallet AND his heart. I'm excited for the rest of the season!

This league will succeed if it understands its place! They will never beat the NFL. But they 100% can become a farm league that's extremely entertaining. And as long as the players understand it's not about the money but the OPPORTUNITY of a future NFL contract then it should keep good talent who just missed out on rosters in the NFL. Or players who commit hard enough to improve and get a second chance. I like it. I'm down for football year round and havint 2 football teams in Seattle lol

DiNucci pulled that mahomes with the flick I love it!

DiNucci was cooking...until he was not

So far a better product than the USFL 👏 👏 👏

i think one way to improve the kickoff returns is the returning team can get into a sort of formation 5-10yrds deeper than where their line is whereas the kicking team stays on the singular line. ie. the kicking team stays on the 35, but the returning team can have players on the 30, the 25, and the 20 that way the players on the 20yrd line have a chance to sort of jet sweep or cause a bit of trickery or just block. or let both teams do the same thing just 5-10 yrds deeper. for the kicking team itll be beneficial to have a couple players back to make saving tackles and for the receiving team to make sweeps or key blocks. either way i dont hate their kickoff return idea, i just see some room for improvement to make it more entertaining and competitive. i also had an idea of making field goals of 60yrds or more 4pts. just a thought though because you gotta give the kicker a little more credit for hitting a field goal from that far.

Seattles helmets look awesome but the older logo was better imho Fun fact: these were the two teams that premiered first in 2020. Dragons lost that game also.

Welcome to the XFL "These boys can play"

I see Josh Gordon is still playing on a “High” level.

This league has one thing over the NFL and even college. Nobody's an overrated or overpaid diva. You'll not see any player sitting out because they don't like their contract/coach/school or they have a hang nail.

Just imagine if the XFL could get Tom Brady to come and play. I think it would do wonders for the league and viewership/spectators.

The Fans were hype!

The next time security takes your beer snake, build two more of them even bigger than the first! Beer Snake Nation!

So they take the players off the field for their “safety” because lemons are thrown but leave them all laying on the field while they play 😂😂

I think the XFL comes to stay for good this time

This only my second highlight I watches ans let me tell you...I'd watch over the nfl

Won 200$ on that goal line fumble... if you smell what the rock is cooking. Letsgooo

Their extra points rule is great

THE LEMONNSS!!! THE LEMONS LIVE!

Dc defenders have the best jerseys.

So when will the XFL winner play the NFL winner? And when will the emerge into ABCFL

Don’t fall asleep on J Peezy bro💪💪

From now on, Seattle playing in DC shall be known as “The Lemon Bowl”

where are the fans gettin whole lemons from? they just sell lemons at the concessions?

XFL putting out a great product 👌Props 👏
