LUIS PEREZ AND JEFF BADET ARE TEARING UP THE #XFL . The duo connect for their second TD in the first half, this time for 39 yards. This Vipers offense looks excellent with Perez at the helm in the #XFL .

Per @UFL_PR , the #UFL has tallied 175 million views on social media platforms. In just half a season, the UFL has surpassed the social media viewership for the 2022 USFL (125M), 2023 USFL (135M), & 2023 XFL (159M). The UFL - and their social media team - is crushing it.

Luis Perez. This guy always leaves everything on the field. No matter what the score is, or his team's record, or the league he's playing in, Luis is always making something happen. Gotta love Perez' consistency. Hell of an effort tonight from QB12! #XFL | @XFL2023 | @XFLVipers
