Walker and WR Cam Phillips, easily the best offensive duo in the league, combined for three scores, with Phillips falling just six yards shy of the 200-yard mark.The Vipers have the lead.

Turnover on downs at a crucial spot in the game, and now Houston can attempt to milk the clock up seven points late in the fourth quarter. We've still got a 6-6 ballgame with halftime around the corner.Former Carolina Panthers RB Cameron Artis-Payne pretty much putting a bow on this one in Seattle. Cameron Artis-Payne breaks free off the outside for a clutch 15-yard gain on third-and-short, putting Dallas in field goal range, and then Austin MacGinnis connects from just 19 yards out to put the visitors up 15-12.

Giants left tackle Nate Solder announced on Twitter Wednesday that he will be opting out of the 2020 NFL season.In a year when abnormal reigns supreme, the Pittsburgh Steelers offense is hoping to get back to at least one routine aspect: having Ben Roethlisberger under center.Running back Damien Williams was a critical component to the Chiefs' Super Bowl run, but he will not be part of their repeat bid as he's decided to opt out.ÂHolley, a favorite target of Walker's, led all receivers with 97 yards and a score on eight catches.
Or will Seattle's underrated defense stand tall once again at CenturyLink Field? After a slow start to the third quarter, with Seattle eating up clock before a fourth-down sack at the Renegades 35-yard line, Dallas has knotted things up at 12 thanks to Landry Jones' 10-yard TD pass to TE Donald Parham Jr. The Vipers put up a heck of a fight to open this one, scoring first and retaking the lead on multiple occasions against maybe the best offense -- and easily one of the best teams -- in the XFL, and for a while, it looked like Marc Trestman's decision to rotate QBs and then ultimately ride with Taylor Cornelius might pay off, with Quinton Flowers engineering Tampa's first TD drive of the year and then Cornelius managing the ball well enough to set up a go-ahead fourth-quarter FG.

Houston looking a little complacent on "D" helped things, too. He seems to be a favorite target for Landry Jones in Dallas, particularly in the red zone.
