Houston Roughnecks Win

Territorial triumph​

Former NFL coach Wade Phillips and the Houston Roughnecks emerged victorious from an intra-state tussle with the Arlington Renegades on Sunday.

The game featured a healthy amount of trash talk and bragging-rights stakes — as evidenced by the live mics on the field — but Houston kept its head down in the second half to keep Arlington in the rearview mirror.

After an Arlington end- zone interception was reversed due to illegal contact, Houston took advantage of the second chance and hit paydirt to build a 9-point lead. The Renegades' last-ditch effort fell short, giving the Roughnecks a 23-14 win and moving them to 2-0 on the season.

Both teams got familiar with one another during the preseason due to the relatively close proximity of the cities, and it feels as though the bad blood isn't going away soon.

They should have won by 3 TD they have BY FAR the best defense in the 8 team league
