>> When the D.C. Defenders last took the field 10 months ago, their opponents stood amid a storm of confetti at the Alamodome while XFL owners Dany Garcia and Dwayne Johnson presented them with the league’s championship trophy.In a 35-26 upset, the 5-6 Arlington Renegades toppled the Defenders, a 10-1 juggernaut.
