UFL was trending at #3 on Google earlier today, it's in 6th now. Luckily Iowa is blowing out Colorado on the women's side so maybe some viewers will check out this close (albeit low scoring, dull) football game.

I think the UFL is getting good engagment. The TV numbers should be interesting.

Awesome.   I don't think this game is dull.  Watch a Jets or Bucs game... they don't move the ball at all.  Its low scoring yes.  And major FUps have costs scoring Ops

And here's another by AB - why no QB sneak?

Terrible challenge by Nolan, was a dead ball anyway so the resulting stop was irrelevant. Watch MI need the challenge later as they lose 10-7.

>>      Image Mike Mitchell @ByMikeMitchell The official attendance figure for Week 1’s #UFL game at Ford Field between the @XFLBattlehawks and @USFLPanthers at Ford Field is 9,444.<<

Not bad at all - I was worried until this week.  I went with 8300, was hoping for over 9k+

The home opener was estimated at 7500 per the Michigan press last season, this looked a bit better. 9k is believable

Bradley ran out of a first down, but he gets bailed out by a facemask
