The Los Angeles Wildcats’ season has been a bumpy ride so far this year. After losses to Houston and Dallas, LA had high hopes after a convincing win in week three against the undefeated DC Defenders 39-9 on Feb. 23. However, they were out-kicked 17-14 by the New York Guardians on Feb. 29.
The Wildcats began the inaugural XFL season with a tough loss to the still undefeated Houston Roughnecks 37-17. They were dominated by the best team in the league in every category. Total yards were 315-289, with yards per play at 3.0, compared to Houston’s 5.1. LA did have an advantage in first downs 20-17. But the defense were unable to hold the potent Houston offense in the second half.
