Here are the numbers to know after Week 8.
3: It was a dramatic weekend in the UFL as three of the four games this past week came down to the final minute and were decided by three points or less. Memphis and San Antonio kicked things off on Friday night with a wild OT battle, won by the Showboats. St Louis then held on for a 29-28 win over Birmingham on Saturday and DC fended off Arlington’s comeback attempt with a last-second interception to seal the 33-30 victory.
4: Birmingham’s J’Mar Smith became the Stallions’ fourth different starting QB in the first eight weeks of the season. Alex McGough, Matt Corral, Case Cookus and now Smith have all started games for the defending champs this year.
4: After this week’s results, the four playoff teams are now set: DC and St Louis will face off in the XFL Conference Championship Game, while Birmingham and Michigan will have a rematch of last season’s USFL Conference Championship Game.

5: There were five lead changes in St Louis’ 29-28 win over Birmingham. It looked as though there might be a sixth in the final minute until Travis Feeney stripped Stallions RB C.J. Marable after he had carried the ball into field goal range. The Battlehawks recovered with 16 seconds left in the game and finished out the win.
11: Houston WR Justin Hall tied his own UFL single-game record with 11 receptions in the Roughnecks’ 30-18 loss to Michigan, finishing with 88 yards and a TD on the day.
50: Birmingham’s Deon Cain caught two passes on Saturday: a 65-yard TD and a 50-yard TD. He now has four receiving touchdowns of 50-plus yards this season – the most in the league.
