The DC Defenders clinched their inaugural UFL championship by overpowering the Michigan Panthers with a decisive 58-34 victory in an exhilarating match-up. Quarterback Jordan Ta’amu delivered a stellar MVP-worthy performance, amassing 390 passing yards and accounting for five touchdowns in total.
The game was a showcase of the Defenders’ robust defensive strategies, notably halting a critical fourth-and-12 play attempted by the Panthers late in the game. This triumphant win was the crowning achievement of a stellar season for the Defenders and their coach, Shannon Harris, who impressively took the reins just before the season commenced.
