.XFLRenegades win XFL Championship over XFLDefenders as league proves it's here to stay
SAN ANTONIO, Texas –San Antonio's Alamodome hosted the championship game on Saturday – the league's first since its ill-fated debut in 2001.
The team went undefeated at their home venue, Audi Field, where they beat the Seattle Sea Dragons 37-21 on April 30 in the North Division championship.DC was the odds-on favorite to win after closing out the regular season with a near-perfect record. The Arlington Renegades took an early lead with two touchdowns in the first half that went unanswered until the last two minutes before halftime.
The fourth quarter saw the Defenders come within a single score of the Renegades, but a Jordan Ta'amu pass fluttered into the hands of a Renegade for the third time Saturday night to extinguish the Defenders' dying breath of a comeback.
