Week 7 of the UFL saw every game won by the team ranked higher in the power rankings. --- **The Crown Holder and the Court Jester** - **Crown Holder**?: *[Birmingham Stallions](https://uflnewshub.com/team/birmingham-stallions)*The Birmingham Stallions took the crown from the [Houston Roughnecks](https://uflnewshub.com/team/houston-gamblers) by defeating them 33-25 at home in week 7.. - **Court Jester**?: *[San Antonio Brahmas](https://uflnewshub.com/team/san-antonio-brahmas/)*The Brahmas were unable to shake the jester title as they lost in week 7 at home, 24-32 to the DC Defenders. If a team defeats the Crown Holder, they steal the Crown and become the new Crown Holder. If a team loses to the Court Jester, they become the new Court Jester, freeing the previous holder. --- **1. [St. Louis Battlehawks](https://uflnewshub.com/team/st-louis-battlehawks) (5-2)** - **Previous Rank:** #1 - **Week 7 Result:** Defeated [Memphis Showboats](https://uflnewshub.com/team/memphis-showboats/) 19-9 on the road - **Week 8 Opponent:** vs. Birmingham Stallions - **Week 7 Synopsis:** The Battlehawks earned a 19-9 road win over the Memphis Showboats in what was another strong defensive performance.

On the ground, Jacob Saylors rushed 11 times for 36 yards, and [Jarveon Howard](https://uflnewshub.com/player/jarveon-howard-33102) rushed 4 times for 20 yards. - **High Point:** Another strong game from the defense, limiting Memphis to 273 yards and just 9 points. - **Low Point:** Converting just 2 of 10 third downs limited their offensive rhythm; additionally, being limited to 257 yards of offense against the lowest-ranked team is not very assuring for the Battlehawks' championship ambitions. --- **2. [Michigan Panthers](https://uflnewshub.com/team/michigan-panthers/) (5-2)** - **Previous Rank:** #2 - **Week 7 Result:** Defeated [Arlington Renegades](https://uflnewshub.com/team/dallas-renegades) 25-24 on the road - **Week 8 Opponent:** at Houston Roughnecks - **Week 7 Synopsis:** The Panthers narrowly defeated the Arlington Renegades 25-24 on the road in a thrilling finish, thanks to a 1-yard rushing touchdown from [Toa Taua](https://uflnewshub.com/player/toa-taua-31099) with 1 second left and then a successful 1-point conversion from him on the following play to win the game. [Bryce Perkins](https://uflnewshub.com/player/bryce-perkins/) led their offense to 331 total yards, including 231 passing yards and 104 rushing yards, while Arlington had 336 total yards.

Additionally, nine penalties were simply too many, 4 of which came from defenders in pass coverage. --- **3.

Zaquandre White led the way on the ground with 9 rushes for 69 yards and 2 touchdowns, the longest being for 52 yards. - **High Point:** ZaQuandre White scoring his 2nd touchdown in the first quarter on a 52-yard touchdown run was a very exciting way for Houston to start the game on the road against the back to back to back champs. - **Low Point:** Being outgained by 168 yards underscored their inability to match Birmingham’s firepower. --- **7. Memphis Showboats (1-6)** - **Previous Rank:** #7 - **Week 7 Result:** Lost to St. Louis Battlehawks 19-9 at home - **Week 8 Opponent:** at San Antonio Brahmas - **Week 7 Synopsis:** The Showboats fell 19-9 to the St. Louis Battlehawks at home, totaling 273 yards.
