USFL Week 10 live updates: Birmingham Stallions vs. Memphis Showboats
Week 10 of the USFL season is in full swing, and we’ve got you covered with all the action on FOX!
In the late game Saturday, the Memphis Showboats were hoping to give themselves a shot at the playoffs win a win over a Birmingham Stallions squad that had already clinched a playoff berth. The Stallions (8-2) had other ideas, however, rallying for a 27-20 victory to end the Showboats’ season (5-5).
Earlier, the North Division took center stage, as the Pittsburgh Maulers took on the New Jersey Generals in Canton, Ohio. The Maulers (4-6) dominated the Generals (3-7), 26-6 to clinch a spot in next week’s North Division Championship game, while the Generals saw their season come to an end.
