Initially, the team lined up for a field goal but got out of that formation. Wing was in the shotgun formation. He sent a man in motion and then took the snap. He rolled to his right and found center Alex Mollette wide open. He was lined up as a left end on the play.
Mollette caught the ball and then rumbled into the end zone for a touchdown to complete the 40-yard play. It was 20-9 San Antonio before halftime.
San Antonio won the game 27-12.
Brahmas quarterback Chase Garbers was 19-for-25 passing with 152 passing yards and two touchdown passes. He also ran for a touchdown. Jontre Kirklin had eight catches for 61 yards and a touchdown.
Defenders quarterback Jordan Ta’amu was 25-for-45 with 235 passing yards and an interception. Ty Scott led the team in receiving with four catches for 87 yards.
D.C. kicker Matthew McCrane had all 12 points for the Defenders. His longest field goal came in the first quarter when he nailed a 28-yarder.
