The Houston Roughnecks had a proud Sunday. The Detroit Lions did not.
The Roughnecks, one of the teams in the defunct (for now, the league plans to be back in 2022) second run of the XFL, saw their old quarterback P.J. Walker help get the Carolina Panthers a 20-0 win over the Lions on Sunday. Teddy Bridgewater couldn’t play due to a knee injury, so Walker, who was Houston’s starting quarterback in the XFL and one of the league’s stars, got the start.
Walker, an undersized quarterback out of Temple who was undrafted in 2017, had appeared in two games in his career, both this season.
