AJ McCarron led his team to a second-straight comeback win on Thursday night, as the St. Louis BattleHawks defeated the Seattle Sea Dragons 20–18 in the XFL’s first game of Week 2. He was emotional last week, as he celebrated his win with his family, and those emotions didn’t go away this week.
The former Alabama quarterback threw for 184 yards and a touchdown on Thursday night, including a drive that resulted in the game-winning field goal as time expired.
After the game, McCarron told ESPN how much it means for him to be able to prove he can still play and start for a team.
