Both teams enter the matchup with opposite records, with the Defenders a perfect 3-0 and the Brahmas at 0-3. In this San Antonio Brahmas vs DC Defenders matchup, DC is favored to stay perfect as the midway point of the 2025 season approaches.
San Antonio Brahmas vs DC Defenders Game Preview
The San Antonio Brahmas have dropped each of their first three games of the 2025 season. They have allowed the most points in the UFL this season by a wide margin, allowing 28.3 points per game through three weeks. This is the fourth straight road game for the Brahmas, as they have yet to play on their home field, which isn’t expected to help them this week against one of the best teams in the UFL.
The only team without a loss after three weeks of UFL football is the DC Defenders. DC picked up an impressive win last week, getting the better of the St. Louis Battlehawks on the road in a game where both teams entered with 2-0 records. Now the Defenders are back home for the third game in four weeks, looking to improve to 4-0 on the year.
The Defenders’ offense is led by quarterback Jordan Ta’amu, who leads the UFL in passing yardage with 606 yards. Abram Smith is their top option on the ground, as he leads the league with 52 carries through three weeks. Smith is third in the league in rushing yards, amassing 144 yards on the ground, though his 2.8 yards per carry is less than optimal.
