Louis Battlehawks (3-2) went on the road to stun the previously undefeated Orlando Storm (4-1) at Inter&Co Stadium in Florida. Closing things out on Sunday, we've got a doubleheader. First, the Houston Gamblers (1-3) are playing host to the Columbus Aviators (1-3), followed by the Louisville Kings (1-3) traveling to face the Dallas Renegades (3-1).

Here are the results from Week 5: DC Defenders 45, Birmingham Stallions 28 Key players: Defenders QB Jordan Ta’amu (15-for-22 for 275 yards, four touchdowns), WR Ty Scott (3-for-4 for 84 yards, two touchdowns), WR Erik Ezukanma (2-for-2 for 77 yards), RB Xazavian Valladay (eight carries for 50 yards, two touchdowns); Stallions QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson (28-for-43 for 313 yards, two touchdowns), WR Justyn Ross (9-for-11 for 107 yards), WR Deon Cain (5-for-10 for 57 yards, one touchdown). Game recap: The Defenders hit pay dirt on the opening drive of the game, taking just six plays to find the end zone after a monster 60-plus-yard kickoff return set DC up for success early.

The Stallions, on the other hand, didn't get off to a smooth start. Newly minted Birmingham quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson was picked off in the red zone on the team's first drive, but he bounced back on the Stallions' second possession to get them on the board, 7-6. DC extended its lead with a rushing score midway through the second quarter, and a costly fumble by Birmingham gave the ball right back to the Defenders.

Quarterback Jordan Ta'amu capitalized on the newfound possession, throwing up a dazzling 45-yard touchdown to make it a 15-point game, 21-6. Thompson-Robinson was able to use his legs to get the Stallions into the end zone before halftime, closing the gap slightly to 21-13. Things were looking up for the Stallions early in the second half.

They came out on the break swinging, cashing in for a touchdown to open the third quarter and pull within two points, 21-19. That momentum was short-lived though. Turnovers were Birmingham's kryptonite.

After the Defenders scored again to make it 28-19 midway through the frame, the Stallions threw a pick and had a turnover on downs. DC, on the other hand, rattled off a field goal and a touchdown to close out the third quarter. Birmingham opened the fourth quarter with another turnover on downs, and DC made the most of the opportunity — firing back with another touchdown to take a 20-plus-point lead, 45-19.

The Stallions were able to score one more time before the end of the frame, but it was too little too late for the home team. Though the Defenders got the win, kicker Matt McCrane had an uncharacteristically poor showing, going 1-for-3 and missing from 36 yards and 62 yards. Up next: In Week 6, the Defenders are playing host to the Renegades on Saturday afternoon, and the Stallions are on the road to battle the Storm on Sunday night on FOX.

St. Louis Battlehawks 25, Orlando Storm 17 Key players: Battlehawks QB Harrison Frost (20-for-31 for 185 yards, one touchdown), WR Steven McBride (4-for-5 for 53 yards), RB Jarveon Howard (12 carries for 59 yards), S Jordan Mosley (eight tackles, one pass defended); Storm QB Jack Plummer (22-for-44 for 143 yards, one touchdown), WR Elijhah Badger (4-for-7 for 37 yards, one touchdown). Game recap: The Battlehawks jumped out to an early 7-0 lead, going 62 yards in just eight plays on their opening drive to set the tone early.

The Storm, on the other hand, turned the ball over on downs on their first drive. Orlando appeared to catch a break on St. Louis' next drive after Battlehawks quarterback Harrison Frost was picked off near midfield, giving the Storm the ball back with just over four minutes left in the first quarter and all the momentum.

However, Orlando turned the ball over on downs yet again. The Battlehawks opened the second quarter with another touchdown drive, jumping out to a 12-0 lead with ease. They followed that up with a field goal to make it a 15-0 game headed into halftime.

Orlando punted twice and fumbled in the second quarter, failing to get on the board. The Storm started the second half with another turnover on downs, while the Battlehawks padded their lead with another touchdown drive. Things picked up for Orlando after that, though, with the Storm rattling off back-to-back scores to end the shutout and keep things competitive.

The first came after a lengthy 82-yard, 10-play drive, and the second came after a clutch blocked punt that put the Storm back on the 1-yard line. St. Louis stumbled again later in the quarter, turning the ball over on downs late in the third. The Storm missed a field goal early in the fourth quater a
