The Stallions Lost To WHO? UFL Week 6 Preview

Memphis Showboats players celebrating a TD.


These are not my Stallions. The injury bug is wreaking havoc on their QBs and their offense is suffering from it. They lost their season opener to DC, which is understandable considering the Defenders' season so far. They struggled to score points with their defense bailing them out, but it caught up with them as they lost to the winless Showboats. The fucking SHOWBOATS!

The Stallions were playing like ponies where they couldn't protect Case Cookus as he ran around for his life. The run game was nonexistent, so Cookus was the leading rusher due to his scrambles. Then they suffered a real backbreaker as Isiah Hennie returned a missed field goal for a TD to end the 2nd half with Memphis up 17-3. The offense finally did something as they came back to force overtime, but they couldn't score in the shootout and are now tied with Michigan atop the USFL division at 3-2. They're not dead but they're clearly not the top dogs.


THE GAMES


2025 UFL season week 6 Arlington Renegades vs St. Louis Battlehawks
Arlington Renegades    24
St. Louis Battlehawks   27

I'm still reeling from the Stallions loss. I'll just say the Renegades will lose again. BTW, if you want to spend $130 on a game used jersey of a random Dallas Renegades player, the UFL is now selling stuff from OG XFL, XFL 2.0, The Rock's XFL and FOX's USFL. No OG USFL merch though. I would be more interested if I could order custom uniforms with these past teams.


2025 UFL season week 6 Memphis Showboats vs Houston Roughnecks
Memphis Showboats   15
Houston Gamblers      30

These teams meet again now with wins under their belt. I said back in week 3 these are teams with decent defenses and lackluster offenses. Since then, the only positive Memphis had was upsetting Birmingham. While Houston got themselves an easy win over the rudderless Brahmas. This honestly is a tossup, so I'll go with Houston to claw their way back to playoff contention.


2025 UFL season week 6 DC Defenders vs Michigan Panthers
DC Defenders            32
Michigan Panthers    29

Fresh off of losing to St. Louis, Panthers WR Samson Nacua slapped a fan. I'm assuming the Battlehawks fan was talking shit to him like how his brother Puka is better than him and he wasn't having that. Samson tried to make the fan flinch but when he didn't, he jumped up and slapped him. Well Samson won't be playing in this game because he got suspended. If the fan intends to sue, he should've taken a bump like the WrestleMania fan to help sell his case.


2025 UFL season week 6 San Antonio Brahmas vs Birmingham Stallions
San Antonio Brahmas   6
Birmingham Stallions   9

If they lose to the sad sack Brahmas, I won't consider them a favorite to 4-peat anymore.


LAST WEEK:  1-3
OVERALL:     11-9
