Victor Bolden Jr. and Maurice Alexander Jr. expressed their gratitude for the United States Football League creating an opportunity for them this season.

So, it was kind of tough for me, and I was grateful and eager to get back and show that my hard work is being put to use and that it’s paying off now," Alexander said. "The USFL took a chance on me, and I’m grateful for that because, before my senior of college, 2019, I got hurt. The USFL did a good job of providing us that opportunity to showcase what we have."

Philadelphia got a huge win last weekend in the semifinal, and they're eager to ride that momentum into Sunday's game to capture a championship. The XFL ceased operations midway through its season, mostly due to the coronavirus pandemic. Sunday’s title game will be a rematch of a Week 5 contest between the squads that ended in Birmingham defeating Philadelphia 30-17. Fox Sports president Eric Shanks announced earlier this week that the USFL will return next season. The 2023 season is expected to start in mid April so that the USFL doesn’t have to compete against the NCAA basketball tournament and the Masters. The XFL plans a return next season with an expected start of February 18, the week after the Super Bowl. Quarterback J'Mar Smith and wide receiver Victor Bolden Jr. are two dynamic players who have been key contributors to their team's success.
