UFL Week 6 started with a bang, as the St. Louis Battlehawks defeated the Louisville Kings, 16-3, on the road Thursday night to hand the Kings their second straight loss.
But there’s still plenty to come this week in the UFL with the Week 6 schedule spread across four days:

Game Summary: The first half started slowly, but ultimately the Kings looked more solid offensively. Kings quarterback Chandler Rogers finished the game 12-for-23 for 133 yards, and wide receiver Tarik Black finished with two receptions for 55 yards. The Battlehawks’ first half looked chaotic, as Rogers threw 8 for 20 for 122 yards. However, the team’s defense recorded two sacks in the first half. Frost also found receiver Gary Jennings Jr. for a four-yard touchdown to take a 9-3 lead going into the break.
Frost and the Battlehawks figured it out early in the second half. St. Louis scored a touchdown with five minutes left in the third quarter, thanks to an 11-yard catch from Steven McBride. The Kings struggled throughout the second half, remaining scoreless while Rogers threw an interception in the final two minutes to solidify the victory for St. Louis.
