The UFL Special Teams Power Rankings are back with a new format for your viewing pleasure! Let's discuss the performances of each unit in this week's review;
JJ Molson - USFL Conference
After not scoring a single point through nearly 2 quarters of football, Molson was called upon with 3 seconds left in the first half for a 48-yard field goal attempt. He nailed the kick, putting the Roughnecks on the board with some momentum heading into the second half. In the third quarter, Molson would make a 31-yard field goal to take the lead. About 4 minutes later, he would attempt a 62-yard field goal, the longest of his professional career. Molson showed off his power and accuracy, sending the ball straight between the goalposts with room to spare. He finished his night with a short, 21-yard field goal, accounting for all of the Houston Roughnecks' 12 points and keeping them competitive throughout the game.
Ryan Santoso - XFL Conference
The San Antonio Brahmas were locked in a stalemate with the Roughnecks through the first quarter of the game when the Brahmas got down to the Houston 8-yard line. After a quick 3-and-out, Ryan Santoso kicked a 26-yard field goal to take the lead. The Roughnecks would respond with field goals of their own, making the score 12-3 heading into the fourth quarter. A touchdown and 3-point conversion later, the Brahmas tied the game and gave the ball back to Santoso, who kicked off 78 yards to the Houston returner. The San Antonio Coverage Team forced a fumble and put the ball back into the offence's hands. The Brahmas only got to the 33-yard line, forcing a long field goal attempt. Unfazed, Santoso drilled a 51-yard field goal, securing the win for his team!

Thank you for reading my work! If you have any questions/feedback please let me know down below.
Hey everyone, I am a European fan so I’m only able to watch one game/week. I do watch the highlights of every match and look at the stats, but I’m curious what fans who watch every game think. Specifically on defense are there any standouts who might not feature on the stat sheet?
I did not expect to see a UFL logo midfield when I arrived at the game today lol.
