Just one game remains in the 2025 UFL<\/a> season, as the Michigan Panthers<\/a> and DC Defenders<\/a> won their respective conference championship games last week.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n Michigan beat the Birmingham Stallions<\/a> on the road in the USFL Championship Game, and DC got a convincing victory on the road against the St. Louis Battlehawks<\/a> in the XFL Championship Game on FOX. The 2025 UFL Championship Game will take place at 8 p.m. ET on Saturday at The Dome at America’s Center, home of the Battlehawks.<\/p>\n Let’s take a look at every touchdown scored in the conference title round!<\/p>\n Michigan went three-and-out to open the game, but its offense fared much differently the rest of the way.<\/p>\n After forcing Birmingham to punt on its first possession, Michigan put together a six-play touchdown drive that ended with Toa Taua<\/a> rushing for a 3-yard score. Quarterback Bryce Perkins<\/a> then finished off a 13-play drive with a 1-yard rushing score on the Panthers’ next drive. The Stallions responded three plays later with quarterback J’Mar Smith<\/a> hitting wide receiver Deon Cain<\/a> for a 65-yard completion and tight end Jordan Thomas<\/a> for an 18-yard touchdown on the next play.<\/p>\n After forcing the Panthers to go three-and-out, Smith’s pass was intercepted by safety Kai Nacua<\/a>, who ran the pick back 25 yards for a Michigan touchdown. However, Birmingham finished the first half strong, as C.J. Marable<\/a>‘s 1-yard rushing touchdown capped off a seven-play drive, and the Stallions trailed 21-14 at halftime.<\/p>\n Birmingham opened the second half with a field goal, but Michigan reached the end zone eight plays later, as Taua rushed for a 6-yard touchdown. And two plays after forcing the Stallions to go three-and-out, the Panthers went up 35-17, as Perkins hit wide receiver Malik Turner<\/a> for a 76-yard touchdown. With Matt Corral<\/a> under center, the Stallions got back into the game, with the quarterback finding wide receiver Davion Davis<\/a> for a 3-yard touchdown, and Corral hitting Thomas for a 4-yard touchdown three plays after a Panthers fumble.<\/p>\n But Michigan got back on track on the ensuing drive, as Perkins, who finished the day with a 119.7 passer rating while completing 80.0% of his passes and rushing for 34 yards and one score, orchestrated a nine-play touchdown drive that ended with Taua rushing for his third touchdown. The Panthers then intercepted Corral and got a field goal off the turnover, with a Michigan fumble recovery later helping them run out the clock and get the win.<\/p>\n DC was in command from start to finish in this one.<\/p>\n After both teams punted on their first possessions of the game, the Defenders broke the ice when Jordan Ta’amu<\/a> connected with wide receiver Seth Williams<\/a> for a 42-yard touchdown. Eleven plays after forcing another St. Louis punt, Deon Jackson<\/a> rushed for a 2-yard touchdown, giving DC a 14-0 lead. Late in the first half, though, Ta’amu was intercepted by cornerback Myles Jones<\/a>. A pair of DC penalties put the ball on the 2-yard line for St. Louis and Jacob Saylors<\/a> got them on the board with a 2-yard rushing touchdown with 3:10 remaining in the second quarter. That said, the Defenders got a pair of field goals to end the first half, one of them coming directly after a Battlehawks fumble, and they led 20-6 at halftime.<\/p>\n St. Louis turned the ball over on downs to start the second half, and DC made them pay. Seven plays after the Battlehawks couldn’t move the chains, Abram Smith<\/a> rushed for a 2-yard touchdown. St. Louis scored six plays later on a 12-yard touchdown pass from Brandon Silvers<\/a> to wide receiver Hakeem Butler<\/a>. However, DC kept the pedal to the metal with an eight-play touchdown drive that ended with a 5-yard scoring run from Jackson, his second rushing score of the game.<\/p>\n The Defenders added a field goal on their next possession, which the Battlehawks followed with a 10-play scoring drive that ended with Max Duggan<\/a> rushing for a 2-yard touchdown. But it was too little, too late, as that touchdown would be the final score of the game. \u00a0<\/p>\n Want great stories delivered right to your inbox? <\/i>Create or log in to your FOX Sports account<\/i><\/a>, and follow leagues, teams and players to receive a personalized newsletter daily!<\/i><\/p>\n United Football League<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n Get more from United Football League<\/span> Follow your favorites to get information about games, news and more<\/span> Every Touchdown from Conference Championships<\/h3>\n
