But the Stallions scored a late touchdown that cut the lead to two points and had a chance to tie the game with a two-point conversion.
Here is the scene:
The Commanders take a six-point lead on a touchdown pass from Marquise Williams to Trey Williams, breaking a 9-9 tie. The Commanders make the two-point conversion to stretch the lead to eight points at 17-9.
The Stallions needed to do the same – score a touchdowna and get the two-point conversion. They got their touchdown on a 21-yard pass from Josh Woodrum to Terrell Newby with 1:54 left in the game.
On the Stallions’ conversion, Woodrun tried to throw the ball out to the left to DeMorney Pierson-El. Commanders defensive back De’Vante Bausby, who entered the weekend leading the AAF in interceptions, swooped in front of Pierson-El to make the pick. Bausby returned it all the way in the other direction – depriving the Stallions of their needed two points and giving the Commanders two more points for the final margin.
