Getty Atlanta Legends QB Aaron Murray
We’re now officially through the first four weeks of Alliance of American Football action and were handed a few upsets and surprising finishes in the process. The two most attention-grabbing outcomes came from a previously undefeated team (Birmingham Iron) and a winless team (Atlanta Legends).
For starters, the week wrapped up with just one undefeated team remaining, as the Orlando Apollos got the job done and picked up a 20-11 road win over the Salt Lake Stallions. The same can’t be said for Birmingham, who was upset at home by the San Antonio Commanders. And in the final game of the weekend, the winless Legends knocked off John Wolford and the Arizona Hotshots in a surprising 14-11 upset. With that said, let’s take a look at the final scores from the weekend.
- Memphis Express 26, San Diego Fleet 23
- Orlando Apollos 20, Salt Lake Stallions 11
- San Antonio Commanders 12, Birmingham Iron 11
- Atlanta Legends 14, Arizona Hotshots 11
