It all unraveled for the Sea Dragons in the XFL North Championship.
A 9-9 halftime score against the DC Defenders gave away to a lopsided 2nd half that was not as close as even the 37-21 final margin indicated. The Sea Dragons were astoundingly sloppy, committing a preposterous 13 penalties, many of them extending drives for the Defenders offense. Easily the worst sequence was when they were penalized for 12 men on the field for a 4th and 6 punt at the end of the 3rd quarter.
Ben DiNucci, for once, didn’t turn the ball over. Unfortunately, he was let down by his receivers on a comically high number of drops from Josh Gordon, Juwan Green, and Jahcour Pearson . It must have been at least eight, many of which came off the hands of Green, who had 8 catches for 89 yards and 2 touchdowns but on 16 targets.
The Sea Dragons’ pass-heavy run-and-shoot offense under June Jones also was pass, pass, and more passing. Phillip Lindsay had two carries for -3 yards, DiNucci scrambled for 16 yards, and that was it. They had two called running plays all game. IS THIS THE FUTURE OF FOOTBALL?! Thankfully not.
