Who won the 2023 XFL Championship Game?
The Arlington Renegades emerged victorious in the 2023 XFL Championship Game, as they triumphed over the highly favored D.C. Defenders. The Renegades, led by Championship Game MVP Luis Perez, outscored the D.C. Defenders 35-26 to complete their surprise run on Saturday at the Alamodome.
The Renegades came into the playoffs with a bleak 4-6 record but managed to win the XFL Championship against a Defenders franchise that went 10-1.
The Renegades, coached by College Hall of Famer Bob Stoops, who won the 2000 National Championship with the OKC Sooners, earned the first title of the new XFL under the new ownership crew headed by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
Arlington jumped to a 20-6 lead in the first half as they scored touchdowns on their first two runs. Their defense dovetailed with the offense, limiting the Defenders, who averaged 30.5 points per game heading into the decider, to six in the first half, their second-lowest output of the season. The game was all but over at that point.
The Renegades fans and players will be celebrating long and hard due to their impressive victory. They will enter the next XFL season as defending champions and will hope to run it back with this team.
