Las Vegas Wins UFL Championship
Las Vegas (5-2), which lost twice to the Tuskers during the regular season, became the first team to beat Florida (6-1) during the first-ever UFL overtime game in front of 14,801 fans at Sam Boyd Stadium.
Florida won the coin toss and had possession first in OT, but Isaiah Trufant intercepted a Brooks Bollinger pass on the Tuskers' 19-yard line. Trufant fumbled but teammate Andrae Thurman recovered the ball on the Florida 14.
Matt Bryant kicked a 27-yard field goal for Florida with 2:06 left in regulation to send the game to overtime.
