The St. Louis Battlehawks suffered their second defeat of the season Saturday, as they fell 28-20 to the D.C. Defenders in front of 35,868 fans at The Dome at America’s Center.
QB A.J. McCarron pulled St. Louis within one possession of the lead late in the fourth quarter when he completed a 50-yard touchdown pass to WR Steven Mitchell Jr. for his longest pass completion of the season. McCarron connected with Mitchell again on the ensuing two-point conversion to pull St. Louis within eight points of the Defenders. The Battlehawks threatened to complete the comeback on their next drive before Defenders CB Michael Joseph intercepted a
McCarron pass with 55 seconds left to end their hopes.
