Just think, they were a 64-yard Field Goal away from being 5-0. They’ll take on Arlington at the Battledome next Saturday.
BATTLEHAWKS BEAT DEFENDERS 45-12

The St. Louis (4-1) defense and special teams gave the offense possession inside Defenders (2-3) territory for seven of its nine scoring drives in a 33-point victory that was the largest margin in team history. The win also keeps the Battlehawks tied atop the conference with the San Antonio Brahmas (4-1) halfway through the regular season.

In total, the Battlehawks made three interceptions, two blocked punts, recovered a fumble and had two turnovers on downs. The defensive unit held D.C. to 163 total yards, the Defenders’ fewest of the season.
