The Houston Gamblers spoiled Birmingham's season on Saturday.
With nothing to lose, Houston dominated the line of scrimmage and outgained the Stallions 390-131. The Gamblers rushed for a UFL-record 278 yards, while their relentless pressure kept Dorian Thompson-Robinson from ever finding a rhythm.
Both Houston and Birmingham concluded the season with 4-6 records.
Sunday's doubleheader delivered plenty of chaos.

An early pick-six by Mishael Powell flipped the momentum and gave Orlando a lead it never relinquished.

The result sets up a playoff trilogy between the Storm and Defenders, who will meet for the third consecutive week this Sunday with a trip to the United Bowl at stake.
The regular season concluded with an entertaining showdown between the Kings and Aviators, as the first quarter alone produced 28 total points.
The opening quarter featured an Eric Garror pick-six, an on-field altercation that resulted in an ejection, and a 61-yard four-point field goal from Jonah Dalmas.
Ultimately, Louisville held on for a 42-27 victory and enters the postseason with momentum on its side following their fourth straight victory. Meanwhile, the Aviators wrapped up their inaugural season with a 3-7 record.
