Isiah Hennie’s kick-six, Battlehawks’ trick play top best plays from UFL Week 5

Another fun week of UFL football is in the books, with Week 5 featuring three games that were decided by a score.

One of those games saw a team make a furious comeback before falling in overtime, while two teams combined for 80 points in one of the two games on Sunday.

Let’s take a look at the top 10 plays from Week 5:

It’s not often that you’re able to get the chance to hurdle a defender in open space. Jackson did that, though, cleanly leaping over a Renegades linebacker for a 20-yard run in the fourth quarter that wound up proving pivotal in the Defenders’ comeback win.

Merritt helped the Roughnecks get the dagger score in their victory over the Brahmas on Sunday when he turned a fourth-and-1 carry into a 21-yard touchdown. The Houston running back got some good blocking up front, which allowed him to split the last level of defenders before reaching the end zone to give his team a 19-0 lead.

Birmingham got its first touchdown early in the third quarter of Friday night’s game when Cookus found Thomas for a 33-yard score.

After failing to score in the first quarter of Sunday’s game, the Defenders opted to go for it all on a second-and-1 early in the second quarter. That decision paid off, with Ta’amu dropping a deep ball to Powell that allowed the wide receiver to get separation at the goal line and make the reception for a 37-yard touchdown grab.

Reigning UFL Offensive Player of the Year and standout Battlehawks receiver Butler, who was back in action in Week 5 after missing the previous three games with a lingering hamstring injury, cashed in on a jaw-dropping 67-yard touchdown in the second half of St. Louis’ eventual win over Michigan on Saturday.

Memphis had two huge touchdowns that helped lead to its eventual overtime win. Winn, who was elevated to the Showboats’ starting job just last week, got things going with a dazzling 78-yard bomb to wideout Anderson.

To help further punctuate the Roughnecks’ victory over the Brahmas, Houston got on the board thanks to a defensive touchdown in the fourth quarter. The easy part of Williams’ interception came when he made the catch, with Brahmas QB Jarrett Guarantano’s pass bouncing out of a wide receiver’s hands before landing in the Roughnecks defensive back’s hands. But Williams was able to run through some traffic along the sideline before cruising to the end zone for a 67-yard return.

The Renegades scored first in Sunday’s matchup against the Defenders and took just one snap to do it. Perez hit Burnett for a monster 63-yard score to get things going in the first quarter.

St. Louis sealed its win against Michigan on Saturday with a show-stopping trick play, as WR Blake Jackson launched a 57-yard touchdown pass to Butler.
