Here are the top plays from Sunday’s game.

Birmingham Stallions vs. Pittsburgh Maulers

After stopping the Maulers on the game’s opening drive, the Stallions got on the board first with a field goal by Brandon Aubrey. The kick was set up by a beautiful 53-yard pass from quarterback J’Mar Smith to wideout Victor Bolden.

The catch made Bolden the first player to compile 1,000 all-purpose yards this season.

The Maulers struck back, though, taking the lead on a 4-yard plunge by Madre London.

The Pittsburgh defense continued to give the Stallions fits, as evidenced by the big sack from Nasir Player. The Maulers added a field goal to their tally a short while later to take a 10-3 lead.

The Stallions’ Aubrey nailed another field goal late in the first half, which left the Maulers with a 10-6 edge at the break.

The Stallions came out fired up in the second half. First, Bo Scarbrough went for a big gain on the ground.

Then, after the Maulers forced fourth down, Birmingham dug into its bag of tricks — Bobby Holly rumbled 52 yards for a touchdown on a fake punt.

Swallowed up!

Birmingham is doing what it can to remain undefeated, and it came up with a clutch sack courtesy of Willie Yarbary to hold its opponent to a FG.

Aubrey helped capitalize on the pivotal defensive play with a pretty 42-yard field goal to push Birmingham into a 16-13 lead.
