Houston Roughnecks linebacker Tavante Beckett stops Arlington Renegades running back Adrian Killins for a loss during the first half an XFL football game Sunday, Feb. 26, 2023, in Houston.The Houston Roughnecks used a tremendous defensive performance to win their season opener, amassing seven sacks and three interceptions.
A first-down catch by Jontre Kirklin helped set up a 42-yard field goal by Hunter Duplessis for a 3-0 lead with 12:10 remaining in the first quarter. The Roughnecks followed with a three and out and forced punts on two more possessions, but both were extended by fumbles on the return by Joe Powell. Plitt connected with Sal Cannella for the two-point conversion and a 14-11 lead. That score held at halftime as Houston wasted a 40-yard catch and run by Kirklin, fumbling in the red zone, and Arlington fell short on a 55-yard field goal attempt before halftime.
