Alliance of American Football 2019 Results: Week 4 Scores from Sunday

Adam WellsMar 3, 2019

Week 4 of the Alliance of American Football schedule wrapped up Sunday with two games, highlighted by the San Antonio Commanders ending their two-game losing streak and handing the Birmingham Iron their first defeat.

The Iron, coming off a season-high 28 points last week against the Atlanta Legends, started their game against San Antonio at a disadvantage. Center J.C. Hassenauer was among their list of inactives because of a knee injury.

In the final game of the weekend schedule, the Legends were able to get their first-ever victory by defeating the Arizona Hotshots.

Week 4 Results

San Antonio Commanders (2-2) 12, Birmingham Iron (3-1) 11

Atlanta Legends (1-3) 14, Arizona Hotshots (2-2) 11

Atlanta Legends 14, Arizona Hotshots 11

Younghoe Koo played the role of hero for Atlanta, kicking the game-winning field goal from 33 yards with 1:07 remaining in the fourth quarter.

Arizona moved the ball to its own 48-yard line before turning it over on downs to ensure its second straight defeat after a 2-0 start.

Even though there are still plenty of areas for Atlanta to improve, Sunday's win was a continuation of the team's evolution over four weeks. The Legends' 14 points were their most in a game this season.

Atlanta quarterback Aaron Murray finished 20-of-33 for 254 yards and seven carries for 54 rushing yards. Running back Denard Robinson accounted for the Legends' only touchdown on this nine-yard scamper late in the first half:

After being held in check for the first 54 minutes, Arizona came to life late in the fourth quarter. Rashad Ross found the end zone on a 20-yard pass from John Wolford to make it an 11-9 score. Wolford tied the score by hitting Marquis Bundy for a two-point conversion:

The Legends racked up 454 yards and held the ball for 37 minutes, 49 seconds. This was also their first game without a turnover and holding an opponent under 20 points.

Arizona is trending in the wrong direction. Its offensive output has declined each week since opening the season with 38 points. The Arizona defense played well enough to win, but this is a game the Hotshots could look back on later in the season realizing they blew a golden opportunity.

San Antonio Commanders 12, Birmingham Iron 11

The Commanders were able to hang on for a win over Birmingham despite scoring just 12 points, committing two turnovers and gaining 256 yards on offense.

Kenneth Farrow II shouldered a heavy load for San Antonio's offense. The 25-year-old had an AAF-record 142 rushing yards on 30 carries.

While Farrow did the bulk of the work, Trey Williams scored the Commanders' only touchdown from 12 yards out in the third quarter to break a 3-3 tie:

The combination of Farrow and Williams made up for a rough day by quarterback Logan Woodside. He was just 11-of-25 for 106 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions.

Accuracy hasn't been a strength for Woodside, who is completing just 49.6 percent of his attempts this season. His five interceptions are the second-most in the league, so head coach Mike Riley's game plan to rely on the run worked to perfection.

It wasn't without drama, though. Birmingham quarterback Luis Perez engineered a scoring drive late in the fourth quarter that included this 34-yard hookup with DeVozea Felton:

Trent Richardson capped off the drive with a touchdown from one yard out. A successful two-point conversion cut the deficit to 12-11.

The Iron's comeback attempt came up short when Perez's onside-kick attempt was intercepted by Orion Stewart. San Antonio ran out the final 1:41 to secure the victory.

The Commanders will look to keep their momentum going in Week 5 when they take on Arizona. Things won't get any easier for the Iron when they take on the Orlando Apollos, who are the only undefeated team in the AAF after four weeks.
