The St. Louis Battlehawks punched their playoff ticket with a hard-fought 21-15 win over Houston in Ricky Proehl’s first season as head coach. After trailing 9-0 early, St. Louis grabbed momentum before halftime on a Manny Perez touchdown pass to Hakeem Butler. The Battlehawks defense took over from there, forcing key turnovers, recording four sacks, and making a final late-game stop to eliminate the Gamblers from postseason contention. St. Louis hosts their final regular season game Friday against Dallas.
