It's playoffs time!! Week 10: Dallas 20, St. Louis 16 Houston 26, Birmingham 13 Orlando 29, DC 23 Louisville 42, Columbus 27 Playoffs: Sunday, June 7 - DC vs. Orlando in Columbus; Louisville at St. Louis

Welcome once again to the unofficial fan lounge. I'm Mike Chernevsky. The UFL regular season is over and done with numbers for you. So let's start with how the last week I played out. We start with Dallas 20, St. Louis 16. What is it with us and Dallas this year? It's where I got. 24,0621 in attendance to kept off this regular season. But now we can focus on the playoffs. They have Houston 26 Birmingham 13. Attendance there, a disputable 5,253.

This unfortunate marks Birmingham. M's first non-appearance in the playoffs and first losing season ever and that includes the 80s USFL so then Orlando 29 DC 23 in front of a bear snake and 9,924 in attendance so it's two weeks in a row that Orlando has had DC's number they might make it three in a row this weekend's And we'll talk about the playoffs in just a little bit. And then to cap off the regular season, Louisville, turning things around,

making the playoffs. Louisville, 42, Columbus 27. The attendance in Columbus was 10,7005. So, you know, let's talk about attendance then. So we will go as always average attendance so average attendance

for the league 10,227 is the league average and only three teams have drew above the league average so of course St. Louis leading the league in attendance 23,239

way down from last year and that we can do better and I know a lot of these teams can do better. Come on. Louisville, 11,195 average. Columbus, 10,362 average. Orlando, just under the 10K mark, 9,830. DC, a team that absolutely could do better,

average in exactly 9,000. Birmingham again not a great season but that first week certainly helped out 8,248 average attendance and

Dallas is ninth with 6,449 I know they can do it better and Houston is dead last at 5,6883 and I want to point out this is still better than the Memphis showboats did last year

with less than 4,000 in attendance. All right. Here are our final stat leaders for the 2026 season. Passing yards, Jack Plummer with Orlando,

2188, passing yards. I'll give you top five. Austin Reed, 1,923, for Dallas Jordan Taamo

for DC 1,515 Joe McClendon with Columbus 1,376 and Dorian Thompson

Robinson with Birmingham 1157 passing touchdowns Austin Reed leads

21 then Plummer with 17 Teamu with 14 McClendon and Thompson Robinson ate a piece.

Rushing. Deion Jackson with D.C. leads to the league in rushing with 449 rushing yards. Jarvian Howard with the Battlehawks is second, 446. So just three shy. Jashon Corbyn with Orlando, 438 rushing yards. Ian Wheeler with Columbus 370. Marcus Yarns, 345. Rushing touchdowns, Jackson again, with seven, Wheeler, has six.

Valdei, again, I'm not going to try and pronounce your first name with five, and then a three-way tie with four between, Zaquindre White with Columbus, Ellis Merriweather with Dallas and Kylan James with the ballox. All right. Leading in receiving yards is

Hakeem Butler with the ball ox. 641. Elijah Badger with Orlando 588. Jaden Mickens

587 for Birmingham. Chris Rowland with Orlando 529 and Tyler Fonds 587

27 for Dallas in terms of catches Chris Rowland 53 catches Jaden Mickens 44 Tay Martin with

Columbus 42 Tyler Vaughn's with 41 and Elijah Badger with 36 receiving touchdowns Emmanuel Butler and Tyler Vaughns both with Dallas seven apiece and then Roland Badger and Ty Scots with DC

three-way tie with five apiece tackles Tay Crowder with Birmingham with 84 Tony Fields the seconds with Columbus was 77 Kiava Tizon Tazino, tough name, 68 tackles, Jeheim Thomas with Loval as 64, and J.T. Tyler with Dallas as 62 on the year. Sacks, Cam Gill with Lovo, 10. Malik Fisher, oh God, he's.

still in the league. 7.5, but he's no longer with D.C. He's with Houston now. Okay, that explains then. Derek Robertson with D.C.

has a 7. Peter Tomoe Panu with the Battlehawks, 6.5. And Ron Stone, Jr. with Columbus 5.5. Interceptions,

Major Burns, with Houston and Corey Mayfield, with Louisville, each have four. Tire for third. DJ Miller

Jr. and Sean Wade Columbus and Dallas respectively. Each have three. And then a three-way tie for fifth. Neville Clark with the Ballahawks,

Stephen Jones Jr. With Dallas and Sam Kid with D.C. Two piece. Name of a past deflections here. So past deflections, it's Carrie Vincent Jr. with Houston with 10. Sean Wade, Dallas has nine, J.D. Miller Jr., with Columbus, Garyon Conley with D.C., and Brandon Sebastian with Orlando, and Major Burns with Houston eight apiece.

punt return yards Sean Fresh with the Balhawks with 338 Antoine Wells Columbus 205

Jabre Barber Birmingham 187 KKute D.C. 154 and Blake Stubes with

Dallas 151 and then kick return yards Valaday with a DC 557 Eugenie Harris is second for Dallas 512 520 rather

Lawrence Keys the third with Houston 518 Eric Ezu Kanma DC 459 and Gary Jennings with the battlehawks for 39.

Field goals made. Tanner Brown with Louisville 25. Matt McCrane, D.C. 21. John Hoyland. Houston, 18. Michael Lance. Orlando was 16 and then

tied for fifth are a couple of battle hawks. Ramiz Ahmed and Tucker McCann. Ten piece. and I will not go or punting average but those are your season leaders in those statistical

categories all right let's talk playoffs both games happening on Sunday the early game is DC versus Orlando at Columbus

there was a schedule in conflict with the World Cup or or sound like it was more of a friendly match happening in Orlando so they had to move it elsewhere and that elsewhere is Columbus and so yeah three weeks in a row these two teams playing each other so oh thunk it Orlando is two and no in those games against the DC so they I absolutely

think they could do it a third time but right to sit and they backed lead team and and as a battlehawks fan I've seen this man coach pretty well in the regular season only to choke in the playoffs so coin flip for me and then the second game is Louisville at St. Louis welcome to the dome

Louisville we beat them in their house earlier this year I think we can do it again provided we get more consistent quarterback play and play good defense and all that.

So I'm going with the Battlehawks to finally win their first playoff game. So there I have it. The final standings for this season, Orlando

8 and 2, St. Louis 6 and 4. Louisville, six and four, DC, five and five, Houston four and six, Birmingham four and six, Dallas four and six, and Columbus, three and seven. And that's going to do it for this edition. We will see you guys next week. Take over how the plows, winds,

and the United Bowl three. So, Huxon.
