Another week of exciting UFL football is in the books.
Two of the four games from Week 6 came down to the wire, while there were plenty of exciting plays in the other two.
That said, let’s take a look at the 10 best plays from Week 6.

Late in the first half of Saturday’s game against the Roughnecks, Winn made the right read on a run-pass option play. The Showboats QB found a hole in Houston’s defense, hitting the edge hard on a keeper for a nine-yard touchdown that gave Memphis the lead at the time.
9. Battlehawks get the strip sack to seal the win
The Renegades had a chance to tie or win Friday’s game in the final minutes. Facing a first-and-10 from their own 39-yard line with just under two minutes left, Renegades QB Luis Perez immediately felt pressure, stepping in the pocket before potentially trying to take off for a run. But Battlehawks linebacker Pita Taumoepenu knocked the ball out of Perez’s hand, while his teammate, Chris Garrett, came up with the recovery to seal the win.
As Saturday’s game remained scoreless deep into the first quarter, one of the top receivers in the UFL helped his team get the first points of the day. Hall ran an in-cut on the Roughnecks’ second-and-8 play from the Showboays’ 13-yard line, with his quarterback hitting him in stride to allow him to reach the end zone for a touchdown.
7. Showboats QB Dresser Winn rolls out and finds TE Jay Jay Wilson for a TD
Winn used his legs to create a pair of touchdowns in Saturday’s game. Before he ran for a nine-yard touchdown, Winn sold a play-action fake well before rolling to his right and dropping in a ball for Wilson in the back corner of the end zone to get the Showboats their first points on the day.
Similar to Winn’s touchdown pass to Wilson, Ta’amu was able to connect with Sanders in the back right corner of the end zone for a touchdown pass that gave the Defenders their first points of the day in Sunday’s game against the Panthers. But their connection was from a bit further out, with Ta’amu perfectly placing the ball between multiple Panthers defenders to Sanders for a 16-yard touchdown.

5. Defenders QB Jordan Ta’amu hit WR Chris Rowland on a deep ball for a TD
Ta’amu made some more magic with his arm in Sunday’s game. With his team trailing 24-6 in the third quarter, Ta’amu was able to get the Defenders right back in it when he found Rowland on a deep ball as the receiver split the Panthers’ defense. Rowland was able to outrun Michigan’s secondary to the end zone for a 65-yard score.
4. Stallions WR Amari Rodgers slips out of tackle and goes the distance
On a third-and-2 with 30 seconds remaining in the first half, Stallions QB Case Cookus was only looking to move the chains as they were at the Brahmas‘ 43-yard line. He threw a completion to Rodgers seven yards down the field, with the Stallions receiver making the grab with two Brahmas defenders around him. But the Brahamas defenders failed to contain him and Rodgers perfectly navigated the open field to score a touchdown that extended the Stallions’ lead.
Perkins has become a weekly mainstay on the top 10 plays list. He added another entry in Week 6, dancing out of multiple sacks before firing a pass downfield on a third-and-11 from the Defenders’ 35-yard line. He connected with Hikutini, who made the grab at the Defenders’ 15-yard line before running into the end zone to extend the Panthers’ 7-6 lead in the second quarter.
Duggan decided to go for it all when the Roughnecks faced a third-and-6 from the Renegades’ 30-yard line coming out of the two-minute warning in the first half of Friday’s game. The Battlehawks quarterback dropped a dime to Butler, who was running a go route along the sideline. Butler outworked a Renegades defender for the ball, making the grab at the goal line for a touchdown that also marked the first score of the game.
1. Roughnecks CB Armani Marsh‘s hit forces a fumble and a scoop-and-score
Sometimes, your defense can make the best scoring plays. That was the case for the Roughnecks on Saturday. Late in the third quarter, Marsh came in free on a cornerback blitz to hit Showboats’ quarterback Dresser Winn. The brutal, but legal, hit from Marsh caused the ball to jar free, with Roughnecks’ defensive tackle scooping the ball up and running 40 yards for a touchdown to give Houston the score that ultimately determined the final result.

Chelsea beat the champions but are still 19 points behind. Can they challenge next season?
There is nothing like a convincing win against the champions to make fans begin to dream a little. Well, be a little more optimistic about the future at least.Chelsea’s first victory against Liverpool in 11 attempts is comfortably their best result of the season. Yes, people can point to Arne Slot not picking his first-choice XI, but Enzo Maresca’s side were playing with the pressure of needing three points to help their bid for Champions League football via a top-five finish. They duly delivered.AdvertisementMuch was made of Liverpool perhaps being affected by celebrating their 20th championship, secured the previous weekend, a little too much. And yet Chelsea’s preparation was far from ideal too. Granted, Djurgarden did not provide the stiffest opposition in the first leg of their Conference League semi-final in Stockholm on Thursday night, as the 4-1 scoreline demonstrates.But […]
Leeds United’s 33 year-wait to experience the unbridled joy of a title parade is over
The impact of May 5, 2025 in Leeds may not hit home until Reeva Saville takes her own children to Elland Road in 2055. The first green shoots of that legacy may be seen as early as Tuesday morning, when four-year-old Reeva tells her classmates how she spent a bank holiday Monday.Even for someone as young as that, without a real comprehension of what Leeds United have achieved, this title parade in the city centre was an assault on their senses. There were sights, sounds and smells they will never forget.AdvertisementThese are core life experiences for a football fan. They have to be treasured, savoured and locked away in the memory. Aside from a select few at the top of the pyramid, English clubs can see decades stretch out between trophies and parades.In Leeds, it’s been 33 years since an […]
Trent Alexander-Arnold, the Liverpool legacy question and why so many fans are angry
Before every Liverpool home game, the team bus turns off Walton Lane and crawls into Anfield Road, where fans line the street, waving flags, blaring horns and filling the air with red smoke.The streets around the stadium feature murals paying homage to Liverpool heroes past and present: from legends of the 1960s and 1970s, such as Roger Hunt, Ian St John, Ray Clemence and Phil Neal, to the modern era with Steven Gerrard, Jurgen Klopp, Jordan Henderson, Roberto Firmino, Luis Diaz, Mohamed Salah and others.AdvertisementTrent Alexander-Arnold was only 20 years old when he was honoured with a mural on the end of Sybil Street. It’s a beauty, a huge picture of him next to the words he breathlessly uttered after the Champions League triumph in Madrid in 2019: “I’m just a normal lad from Liverpool whose dream has just come […]
Lamine Yamal – What people who know football say about Barcelona’s teenage star
Asked about Lamine Yamal in the aftermath of the teenager’s scintillating display against Inter, his Barcelona coach Hansi Flick called the winger a “genius”. Others went further, suggesting he is Barcelona’s best player, the finest 17-year-old in modern times, or simply the world’s best footballer.AdvertisementFlick added a note of caution to his praise, saying: “It can’t just be a one-off. That’s what I want from him and all the players. The ability to improve. You have to work hard. To reach the level of (Cristiano) Ronaldo or (Lionel) Messi, or other great players.”But what is it that makes Yamal so good? And what is it he still needs to improve?Before he faces Inter again in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final we asked people who spend much of their lives watching or developing footballers for their observations of […]
Should we really be surprised Arsenal are playing catch up in the Champions League?
Outside the Emirates Stadium a few days before this semi-final series got underway, a representative from French television was asking around, trying to get a feel for the two clubs in advance of this intriguing tie.There was, he reckoned, a special connection. Here are two substantial football institutions, from two of the great cities of the world, both still waiting to bask in the radiance of a first Champions League success. His turn of phrase was sharp enough to make both clubs wince. Were Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal in some way “loser brothers”? Ooof.AdvertisementOne is about to get closer to potentially tearing themselves away from that painful association. The likelihood is it will be PSG, able to host the second leg with a one goal advantage against an opponent whose mood has been bashed in the past week, although football […]
The Real Madrid awaiting Alexander-Arnold is very different to when they made their move
Trent Alexander-Arnold has confirmed he is leaving Liverpool — all that remains is for his move to Real Madrid to be rubber-stamped.But what will he be walking into at the Bernabeu? The general outlook at the club is looking a lot less positive than when the idea of joining Madrid on a free transfer began to take shape in April 2024.AdvertisementThat month saw Madrid beat Barcelona 3-2 in a thrilling Clasico at the Bernabeu, with Jude Bellingham scoring an added-time winner, all-but securing La Liga for Carlo Ancelotti’s side.A record-extending 15th European Cup (and sixth Champions League in 11 seasons) followed to cap a tremendous first season at Madrid for Alexander-Arnold’s close friend Bellingham. The silverware surely came up in conversations between the two at that summer’s European Championship as England finished runners-up to Spain.Bellingham was just one of the […]
