Brownwood native Matt McCrane hit a 49-yard field goal for D.C. to complete a comeback and allow the Defenders to beat Arlington, 29-28, a shocker, considering the Defenders were down by 10 (28-18) with under two minutes left. It was the second straight week that happened in the UFL: San Antonio did it to Memphis last Saturday. (Photo by DENNIS JACOBS - ETBLITZ.COM)
