Kicking things off in Birmingham, the Houston Gamblers were aiming to secure their first win of the season as they took on the New Orleans Breakers. In an exciting, back-and-forth game, the Breakers held on for a 38-31 victory, as Wes Hills rushed for 110 yards and three touchdowns on 18 carries.

Later, the USFL’s newest team, the Memphis Showboats, will face the defending champion Birmingham Stallions (7 p.m. ET, FOX and the FOX Sports app). See the full regular-season week-by-week matchups here.

New Orleans coach John DeFilippo has a rare condition that makes it difficult to walk. In dealing with that, he has made it a goal to jog out of the tunnel before every game. He is 2-for-2 this season in that regard. He spoke about it before Saturday’s game.
