A pivotal moment came at the end of the third quarter. After D.C. scored to close the lead to 26-20, the Defenders were penalized on the ensuing kickoff for not kicking the ball inside Arlington’s 20-yard-line. Arlington took over on D.C.’s 30 and on the next play scored on a Perez pass to running back Leddie Brown to make it 32-20.
The Renegades defense slowed down Defenders quarterback Jordan Ta’amu, who was named the 2023 XFL Offensive Player of the Year. Arlington intercepted Ta’amu three times. He threw only three interceptions during the regular season. The opening half of the game appeared lopsided as the Renegades opened with Perez connecting with Sal Cannella for a 41-yard touchdown. Arlington followed up on its next possession with Perez finding Tyler Vaughns on a 9-yard touchdown and a successful two-point conversion to push the Renegades’ lead to 14-0.
