The St. Louis BattleHawks raced to a halftime lead, were challenged in the second half by Seattle back-up quarterback B.J Daniels and then finished strong in a 23-16 XFL win Saturday before another enthusiastic crowd of 27,527 at The Dome at America’s Center.
The BattleHawks took control with a nine-play, 96-yard drive that featured the passing and running of quarterback Jordan Ta’amu. Early in the drive, Ta’amu had a key 14-yard run on a first-and-15 play. Later, on back-to-back 27-yard pass plays, he hooked up with Carlton Agudosi and De’Mornay Pierson-El, with the second resulting in a touchdown with 6:37 to play in the first quarter.
