Brahmas surprises the Roughnecks with a basket to complete his comeback in the 4th quarter

HOUSTON – The San Antonio Brahmas came back strong in the final minutes to defeat the Houston Roughnecks on Mother’s Day.

Head coach Wade Phillips got a chance to play his team last season.

In a game that was a testament to the defense, there were only baskets until the end of the fourth quarter.

With Quinten Dormady out, Kevin Hogan became the Brahmas’ starting quarterback on Sunday.

With 2:29 left after a 10-minute drive for the Brahmas, John Lovett found the end zone from a yard out to make it 12-9 for the Roughnecks. The Brahmas went for the three-point conversion and Hogan found Cody Latimer to tie the game.

On the ensuing kickoff, the Roughnecks turned the ball over after Bryce Thompson hit to force the fumble, and Teez Tabor was there to recover with 2:15 left.

Brahmas kicker Ryan Santoso kicked a 51-yard field goal for the game-winner as time expired.

The Brahmas escaped with a 15-12 victory to move to five wins this year. Next up for the Brahmas is the Arlington Renegades at the Alamodome next Sunday.
