After the Brahmas erased a 19-3 deficit, Parker Romo missed wide on a 53-yard field goal attempt to lift San Antonio to a lead in the final minute.
Brahmas TJ Vasher is congratulated by teammate Travis Jonsen after scoring a two-point conversion during Saturday afternoon's game at the Alamodome vs. the DC Defenders.San Antonio’s bid to earn a spot in the XFL playoffs was finally snuffed out on Saturday, as the Brahmas’ first season ended with a 29-28 loss to the D.C. Defenders in the Alamodome.
Instead, the Brahmas are finished, unable to overcome five losses by one-score margins during the first eight games of the season. San Antonio answered with a 16-play, 64-yard drive to set up Parker Romo’s short field goal, but D.C.’s Pooka Williams Jr. returned the ensuing kickoff 79 yards to set up a field goal for an 11-3 lead late in the first quarter.
Starting the drive with 33 seconds to play, Coan found Akers for a 37-yard gain down to the 2-yard line. Inches from the end zone with no timeouts and 9 seconds to play before halftime, San Antonio handed to Jacques Patrick for a rushing score. T.J. Vasher hauled in the two-point conversion pass, trimming the deficit to 19-11.
