The most lethal combination in the XFL, P.J. Walker and Cam Phillips, connected again in the first quarter of the Houston Roughnecks’ game with the Tampa Bay Vipers on Saturday.
Walker, the Patrick Mahomes of the new league, appeared to be running on the play. However, as the QB got to the line and was about to be dragged down, he unleashed a pass that was tipped. It wound up in the hands of Phillips and 84 yards later he was in the end zone.
Walker and Phillips had connected for four touchdowns in the first two weeks. And the beat goes on for the combo.
To add a finishing touch, Walker found Sam Mobley for a three-point PAT that gave the Roughnecks a 9-3 lead.
It will be fascinating to see what NFL team makes a play for Walker, who was an Indianapolis Colts practice squad player.
