Man, the XFL is fun. I really hope they can last at least a few years to see if it can grow.

[@TheAustinKendall]

We as XFL fans need to try and set up watch parties for the championship game. I think with NFLs partnership and Dwayne Johnson involved, this has a great shot at making it. You need multiple years so that outsiders can have confidence that it's something they can get invested in with their time and money towards merch.

[@ChipNov1998]

Great game! Vegas did not look like a team that's out of the playoffs... They came to play! I love it

[@Dennis_Reynolds_Golden_God]

That run at 12:37 was crazy. Probably one of the best I've seen all season.

[@frostywarrior4649]

Dude was really on his Reggie Bush ish with that dive

[@gregpaspatis9425]

@Dennis Reynolds@Frosty Warrior The play was among the SportsCenter top five plays of the day.

FCF vet right there

[@CHRISPYakaKON]

Vipers are definitely better than their record suggests but they definitely hurt themselves

[@DannyPlaysStuff]

Yeah shame, especially since McClendon replaces the departing Luis Perez on the QB they look significantly more solid....

[@AndrewXigna]

yeah they waste so much time

[@mattiOTX]

The vipers qb actually looks solid. The guy moves away from pressure and keeps his eyes down field. That's good football, love the XFL.

[@InfEdgeNA]

As a giants fan growing up happy to see wade Phillips enjoying the game of football love to see a old soul happy af

[@Dennis_Reynolds_Golden_God]

I actually liked seeing Maclendon so upset at the end of the game. I don't want the QB not caring about losing. He's passionate and it shows in his play because he was nearly unstoppable in the first half.

[@loyevangelists]

That receiver could have caught that ball

[@abrfreak100]

​@John Loye I mean yea, but the qb could have thrown it more accurate also.

[@Dennis_Reynolds_Golden_God]

Yeah it definitely could've been a better throw but anyone that plays or played football knows "if the ball touches your hands, you gotta catch it"

[@jaycolbert272]

He put the ball where it needed to be. If he didn’t slow his receiver momentum then he would have been lined up for a kill shot by the safety who was there. Any receiver knows that’s a good placed ball and they have to make that play.

[@ajalanis645]

Man Houston is awesome defensively. Great game on the takeaway points.

[@TheAustinKendall]

That's what the legend Wade Phillips can do, I'll always love him after the Broncos in 2015 got that superbowl win and cemented themselves as a top 10 all time defense! Were I not already a Battlehawks fan since 2020, I have no doubt he'd have me cheering for the roughnecks!

[@denzelsnipes13]

I was here live covering the game!! Hell of a game between the two, also got the chance to meet Coach Woodson and interview the players, plus watch from the Press Box. Awesome game!!! **SIDE NOTE** Coach Rod Woodson is a real one. Some guys flew in from Mexico (Steeler Fans) just to see him. He took pics and signed their Woodson jerseys and Terrible Towels. Awesome guy!!

[@JamesENichols]

Any thoughts/observations on J. McClendon? He looked like the best player on the field (at times).

[@markemark1484]

What a game that was close can't wait for the second game between the Orlando Guardians vs San Antonio Brahmas. I love this league love everything about the XFL🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵 XFL XFL XFL XFL XFL XFL XFL XFL XFL

[@lemonator8813]

Man if only sexton could catch a pass that hits both of his hands this would've been an even closer game.

[@stanknd7073]

Couldn't agree with you more. XFL kept the rules that make sense, and changed the ones that made the game boring and routine. Perfect. Couldn't be more excited to see the XFL thrive

[@robertsprouse9282]

I must say the quality of play improved from early on this season. I still think the '20 version was better. USFL last season in the titlegame looked better than 2020 XFL. It will be interesting to see how they look this season with the talent stretched out thanx to the XFL...

[@filthylucreonyoutube]

I am _hooked_ on this year's XFL.

best day game of the season forsure. beyond entertaining 🔥🔥🔥 everyone was doing a front flip 😂

[@grid-natics2983]

Great job Roughnecks!!!! First ever division tittle 😀

@Grid-Natics Houston Roughnecks also won the abbreviated 2020 division title as well with a 5-0 unbeaten record.

*Second division title.

[@robertsprouse9282]

Damned shame that CHCOVID cost us the league in 2020 with PJ WALKER killin' it at qback. NECKS were 5-0.

Nah facts 😭😭

[@marley8318]

i know its hard for a new league but i think ive watched more games this season than the NFL. hopefully AZ can get a team in the future.

[@arielcarlos2399]

We want XFL forever!!!!

Nice Roughnecks win! Well earned, but the Vipers finally playing good. Should’ve been playing like this 😅

[@primetimefrye]

Good game

[@nocapyoulackn3594]

Great action love the extra football seeing some of the guys that didnt get drafted get a chance is great love this for the young guys and the fans

[@nategonzalez2011]

Go Houston

[@retloclive9118]

"25 unanswered!" Uh....there was clearly a field goal in there. lol

[@wildwine6400]

Really good game, Viper played really well at the start but couldn't keep going

[@sntdc2017]

How many times Vegas gonna run a fade on the goaline? Last 3 times were picked off. Decent team that shoots themselves in the foot constantly. Still rooting for em tho

[@starry53]

Loved to watch XFL when NFL is in offseason.

[@JamesENichols]

Entertaining game! Houston needed the win, and their defense and running game(!) delivered. As for Vegas, McClendon is my favorite XFL player (not on the DC Defenders). I see what the Vipers' coaching staff sees. He had some tough plays in the second half, but there is a lot of "good" for him to build off for next week. I hope he comes back to the XFL next spring. All he needs are more reps. The talent is there!

[@Law0086]

Thought the upset was actually gonna happen! Man what a game!

[@demarcuscullors5628]

Love this league man!!!!

[@Noneyabiznez1209]

I absolutely love the way the xfl allows coaches to challenge things. It doesn't really take away from the game because you get to see how they determine the call and the video being seen to make that decision.

[@slimischillin7753]

Houston has a good defense. Should've known better with Philips as the coach.

[@chrisanders713]

My two favorite teams playing one heck of a game with my home team pulling out the W! GG Love ya Vipers!!

[@rgk99]

How can you not love this league!!!

[@shaquanbowser855]

I think the XFL will last. Though they might lose players to the NFL but I think the QB's going stick around. It don't seem to logical for to make the NFL jump if they not looking at starting opportunities. They setting they selves up to be a good developmental and spring league whether it becomes official with NFL or not.

[@JarvisCosric885]

Congrats Houston. Hope you all do great in the playoffs

[@chrisanders713]

Thanks and GG Vipers!

Silvers throws too many interceptions.

[@schmuckytheraiderbear5043]

The XFL throws too many interceptions & way too many fumbles. The skill gap is huge.

[@Dennis_Reynolds_Golden_God]

​@Schmucky the Raider Bear definitely too many fumbles. I'd have to check but there's probably at least 2.5 or 3 per game.

[@foxwolf316]

the vipers were so close to making it an upset win on that final play

[@franohmsford7548]

No they weren't - They couldn't get an extra point all game! It would have just ended 28-27 Roughnecks rather than 28-21! And yes they'd have HAD to go for 2 because they'd have stood no chance in a shoot-out!

[@Mitch_Feral]

Damn, Vegas receivers just, like, slowly walking across the field when they are trying change the play in the hurry up is wild - and wilder that it wasnt the only time in the game that their offense just couldnt get out of its own way! What a mess.

[@mattiOTX]

Harris the scooped that out of his hand

[@jameshiggins6716]

I think with better coaching vegas could be one of the best teams in the league. A few times where guys were undisciplined enough to maintain their gaps/assignments. So much potential

[@shaquanbowser855]

If that WR extended good arms he would've made that last catch

[@johnstjohn1987]

Let's go Vipers

[@alexisduck6728]

Houston only win against the north division

[@quigonkenny]

However the season ends for the Roughnecks, they've already won the competition for best drip. Maybe in all of professional football.

[@NAFqbERRIC2]

The announcer saying that last pass was “off target” is such a horrible call. He put the ball exactly where it needed to be & the receiver dropped it.

[@kai223noa6]

Must not have a rule against removing your helmet.

[@lemonator8813]

Not if the game is already over lol

[@thenightmaricsenpai524]

No such thing as luck. It doesn't exist. He was well covered and should have come down with it but didn't.

[@southelgin25]

As a Bears fans I know that last fumble too well what happen to use lose a game against the Vikings

[@onlineguy57]

I don’t agree with the commentator saying the dropped game tying pass was off target. The wr has to do his job and catch that. We’ve seen more difficult catches than that now cmon. Just another reason that wr is in the xfl and not the nfl

[@rebornjm]

First the 25 unanswered then the off target smh he was way off with his commentary

[@icetray2727]

15:31 that was poor clock management

[@therealname1621]

The more I watch the XFL the more is see the level gap or the NFL…that final play from the Vipers should’ve been a TD…those drops get you cut in the NFL

[@cuzzo5666]

No they don't, stop acting like they don't make mistakes in the NFL every damn week

[@realactionlive]

nah not drops but they laziness to get set when you have no timeouts will definitely get you looked at. there was no reason for them to have that much time run off without spiking the ball or getting a play off

Even if that were true, NFL games are a little hard to catch just now.

[@Mitch_Feral]

@@realactionlive To be fair, this game for Vegas was uncommonly bad for either league. Receivers just were not interested in hustling, they were really out of step with the rest of the team.

[@lemonator8813]

CATCH THE BALL BRUH!!!

[@KevinCantWait08]

So many disappointing losses by Vegas this season. I remember their first 2 or 3 games were all blown leads (at least 2 were double digit). Same situation here. Unfortunately, they just don't have enough poise to close out games. Their defense, especially the secondary, is absolutely terrible.

[@TheAustinKendall]

I love seeing a coach challenge a call the refs missed and have it be reversed, hope the NFL adopts this one day! Imagine, for example, the no call PI the Saints suffered through being challenged and (obviously...) winning. It's a big thing and sports going into the future will slowly start to have ZERO excuses to miss calls or make bad calls (though that may be a century away realistically).

[@NineballChris]

Houston has 3 football teams. Texans, Roughknecks, and Gamblers. 😀

lol vegas coach sexist comment killed me

[@Rick_Riff]

Ok. Love and support the XFL but a few complaints about their highlights collation. XFL officials should immediately replace all NFL officials but do we really have to include all the detailed process? Yes we need to know when there's an impactful penalty but half these highlights were of the officials. If you cut out the referee highlights maybe we can see more of how drives get to the red zone, how possessions change, 3rd downs, and other relevant plays.
