There was no shortage of highlights in Week 3 of the XFL season.
Professional football is officially back in St. Louis, as the BattleHawks hosted the New York Guardians at The Dome at America's Center in front of 29,554 fans, the highest mark in an XFL game this year.
In the first game in St. Louis since the Rams left for Los Angeles after the 2015 season, fans were treated to a 29-9 BattleHawks victory that included an exciting kick return for a touchdown.
Although TV ratings across the board took a hit from Week 2, this week’s total attendance was a season high.
Parity also appears to be setting into the league. Only one of eight teams remain undefeated, as the Houston Roughnecks beat the 0-3 Tamp Bay Vipers 34-27.
In the most surprising result of the weekend, the Los Angeles Wildcats (1-2) handed the previously undefeated DC Defenders their first loss of the season by scoring an XFL-record 39 points.
In the other game of the week, the Dallas Renegades topped the Seattle Dragons 24-12.
The XFL will play a 10-week regular season, and four-team playoff format leading into the championship game on April 26 from TDECU Stadium in Houston on ESPN.
