While speaking to reporters after the game, Birmingham coach Skip Holtz said his team was fortunate in some parts of the contest but was happy with the overall offensive display.
“You can be in a tie game and if you can score before half and you can score at the beginning of the third quarter, you’re up 14 points when they get their opportunity to go back on offense. I thought that was huge." Holtz said.
"We were fortunate. They jumped offside when we were trying to punt it and that gave us the first down. That gave us another opportunity to get going again. And so I thought the offense made some really nice plays.” Holtz added.
The Birmingham Stallions have already secured the No. 1 seed for the playoffs and will want to continue their stellar run when they travel to face the San Antonio Brahmas in Week 9.
The Roughnecks, on the other hand, are out of the playoff hunt. They will host the Michigan Panthers in their next game.
