Former Cincinnati Bengals quarterback A.J. McCarron's XFL debut Sunday was a memorable one, as he rallied the St. Louis Battlehawks to a fourth-quarter comeback against the San Antonio Brahmas.
McCarron, who played his first four NFL seasons in Cincinnati after the Bengals drafted him in the fifth round in 2014, was 11-for-14 with 133 passing yards and two touchdowns in the fourth quarter of the Battlehawks' season-opening 18-15 win at the Alamodome.
The Battlehawks selected McCarron last November. St. Louis' offensive coordinator is Bruce Gradkowski, also a former Bengals QB.
