Eleven former Pittsburgh Steelers can call themselves champions. The United Football League (UFL) Birmingham Stallions defeated the San Antonio Brahmas in Sunday’s Championship Game with nearly a dozen former Steelers making up the Stallions’ roster.
The Stallions came out on top 25-0. The first half featured a defensive battle between two of the team’s top units before Birmingham slowly pulled away. Entering halftime with an 8-0 lead, QB Adrian Martinez recorded two rushing touchdowns in the third quarter to build up a 22-0 advantage.
San Antonio threatened to score mid-way through the fourth quarter but Birmingham held firm with a fourth down end zone stop.
