Former Cincinnati Bengals quarterback A.J. McCarron has started his XFL career with a pair of come-from-behind wins for the St. Louis Battlehawks.
Four days after rallying St. Louis past the San Antonio Brahmas in his debut, McCarron led the Battlehawks' game-winning drive in a 20-18 win against the Seattle Sea Dragons on Thursday night at Lumen Field.
McCarron, who played his first four NFL seasons for the Bengals, completed 22 of 36 passes for 184 yards with a touchdown, adding 41 rushing yards on five carries with a score on the ground.
Social media reactions to McCarron's 2-0 start with St. Louis, including from XFL owner Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson:
St. Louis selected McCarron last November. The Battlehawks' offensive coordinator is another former Bengals QB, Bruce Gradkowski.
