Landry Jones is down. Limping off the field. Philip Nelson is in.

Right call wrong QB - bring in Nelsen for the Sneak. That was stupid.

"Took'em down with the clothesline, you can't do that." (Roughnecks color guy describing a personal foul)

Oh, come on. This is the XFL!

If Landry is seriously hurt, the Renegades move to the bottom four in the power rankings

Awkward: Roughnecks radio broadcast is airing a PSA from Sam Wyche promoting his 2016 heart transplant, promoting how it gave him new life.

Wyche died in January. (It wasn't heart-related, but it's awkward.)

That’s a little harsh. QBs getting hurt on a sneak is very rare. Kind of a freak thing. I don’t put that on the staff. Nelson entering the game also tells the defenss the play

A very good sign.
That's terrific news 👍 what is the attendance tonight?
18,332. That's an increase.

Honestly, the stadium looked fuller from the few shots I saw.

It will open up the west, esp if they lose today. QB sneak like Saints - bring in 2nd string - DAMN IT

Nelson throws the game-clinching interception. Which, sadly, doesn't surprise me.

Globe Life is a renovated baseball stadium. There is a lot of dead space just because of the awkward angles. The part that looks good on the 50-yd line is bleachers they installed on the Visitor side to try and make a rectangle. So even though there are people you can see, the part you can't has seats that can't be used because they don't have a (reasonable) view of the field.
Raising heck...
