Week 3 of the 2025 UFL season featured plenty of highlights, standout performances, and incredible finishes.
The Birmingham Stallions, Houston Roughnecks, Michigan Panthers and DC Defenders were victorious, while the Arlington Renegades, Memphis Showboats, San Antonio Brahmas and St. Louis Battlehawks came up empty-handed.
Here are the numbers to know after Week 3.
1: Through three weeks, there’s only one remaining undefeated team in the league: the Defenders, who knocked off the previously unbeaten Battlehawks by double digits, 27-15, on the road on Sunday. Interim head coach Shannon Harris was elevated to his role just one week before the season opener but has guided the team to a perfect start. The Defenders can match last year’s win total for the entire season with a win at home vs. San Antonio this week.

2: It hasn’t always been pretty for the defending champion Stallions this season, but their defense has allowed them to stay in games and find ways to win. Birmingham’s defense has only allowed two touchdowns over three games and has been particularly impressive in the red zone. It held Arlington without a touchdown in four trips to the red zone on Friday and has only allowed just two touchdowns in 10 trips to the red zone all season — good for a UFL-best 20% touchdown rate allowed.
3: The first three games of Week 3 were decided by three points or fewer and came down to the final seconds. Birmingham kicked off the week with a last-minute 10-9 comeback win over Arlington before Houston held off Memphis’ late rally for an 18-17 win on Saturday. Michigan defeated San Antonio on Sunday, 26-23, thanks to a final-minute go-ahead field goal.
4: Arlington will be kicking themselves after the one-point loss at Birmingham on Friday night. It’s a familiar feeling for the group, as it’s the fourth time since the start of last season that the Renegades have lost a game in the final 30 seconds after leading in the fourth quarter.

8: Houston picked up its first win of the season, snapping an eight-game losing streak which dated back to last season. The Roughnecks were led by their defense in the win, as safety Leon O’Neal’s pick-six in the second half put them ahead before the unit stopped the Showboats’ two-point attempt with 13 seconds left to seal the victory.
9: DC’s defense was swarming against St Louis’ high-powered attack, harassing Battlehawks QB Manny Wilkins to the tune of three sacks. It also delivered nine tackles for loss in the win. The Defenders stifled the Battlehawks’ top-ranked ground game, holding them to just 45 rushing yards (2.8 yards per carry) in Sunday’s tilt.
26: Birmingham only led for a grand total of 26 seconds against Arlington on Friday night, but it was the most important 26 seconds. Trailing 9-3 going into the final minute, Stallions QB Matt Corral connected with WR Cade Johnson for a 20-yard score before Corral ran in the one-point conversion to give the defending champs the win and improve to 2-1 on the season.

WM-Favoriten fahren ineinander – Crash-Frust in der Formel 1
Diesen Crash hat sogar der Teamboss geahnt!In Runde 67 des Großen Preises von Montreal kollidieren die beiden McLaren-Piloten Oscar Piastri (24) und Lando Norris (25). Beide liegen in der WM-Führung vorne, machen wohl den Titel unter sich aus.Sie liegen auf Platz 4 und 5, Norris will innen überholen, fährt seinem Teamkollegen ins Heck und berührt die Mauer. Der Brite funkt: „Das war mein Fehler, tut mir leid.“Crash-Frust beim Spitzenteam! Seit Saisonbeginn wird Teamboss Zak Brown (53) immer wieder gefragt, ob es eine Rangordnung bei McLaren gibt. Der Ami will seine Piloten einfach fahren lassen, ohne einzugreifen. Sie sollen den Titel auf der Strecke unter sich ausmachen. Nach dem Monaco-Rennen hatte er einen Crash geahnt, ja nahezu befürchtet: „Irgendwann kann es krachen zwischen den beiden. Wir wollen es natürlich nicht, aber...“Jetzt ist es passiert! Vor dem Spanien-Rennen hatte Oscar Piastri noch […]

PSG vs Atletico Madrid live updates: Lee wraps up 4-0 Club World Cup 2025 win for European champions
Well, what to make of that match? It was certainly more competitive than today's first at the Club World Cup, Bayern Munich's 10-0 thrashing of Auckland City. Paris Saint-Germain looked every bit as impressive as they did in last month's Champions League final win over Inter. However, the 4-0 final does flatter them a bit. Atletico deserved at least one goal today, between their disallowed goal and Alexander Sorloth's absolute sitter he somehow missed. Similarly, PSG's fourth goal was a real gift. The current handball rule is much too harsh on defenders when they're a foot away from the attacker, if you ask me. Still, this was mostly the heavyweight bout that Gianni Infantino would've been dreaming about when he engineered this competition, even if the California heat dampened the players' energy some.
U.S. Open 2025 live updates: Round 4 leaderboard and scores with play suspended due to dangerous weather
The top contenders were already struggling enough — Sam Burns, Adam Scott and Viktor Hovland have all lost two strokes, and J.J. Spaun five — and now the conditions are going to add another element to the equation once play does resume. Who can be a mudder? Even if the rain holds up enough to allow them to get back on the course, it’s probably not done falling. So who can manage their equipment and just stay present enough to focus on the next shot over everything else?If I had to guess, it’s Tyrrell Hatton, who is tied-third at 1-over-par, three shots behind Burns. Hatton is, he’ll admit, almost always miserable anyways. What’s being wet on top of that?
