Linebacker Scooby Wright III returned an interception for a touchdown in the fourth quarter to help the Birmingham Stallions seal the inaugural USFL title in a wild 33–30 win over the Philadelphia Stars in Sunday’s championship game in Canton, Ohio.
The Stars made a second-half push with two consecutive touchdown drives to move ahead 23–20, their first lead of the game. Philadelphia quarterback Case Cookus tossed three touchdown passes but suffered a broken right fibula in the fourth quarter and was carted off the field.
