McCrane Kicks First UFL Four-Point FG

Matt McCrane made UFL history on Saturday, kicking the league's first four-point field goal from 60 yards to give the D.C. Defenders an early lead over the St. Louis Battlehawks.

The 31-year-old veteran kicker connected on the unprecedented attempt in the first quarter, adding a new strategic element to football. Despite McCrane's historic kick, the Battlehawks went on to win 16-10.

McCrane, who has played in the NFL, XFL, and UFL, has been with the Defenders since 2023.
