While the NFL gears up for the official start of the new league year, the AAF is wrapping its fourth week of its regular season. How is the new league shaking out as it approaches its inaugural halfway point? This week featured two franchises earning their first win, one franchise’s continued refusal to enter the loss column, and Dallas Cowboys’ owner Jerry Jones repping the Alliance.

And much like the rest of the country, the AAF also featured freezing weather and a played a game on snow-covered field, reminding the rest of the world that Winter Is (Still) Here in March.

Catch up on all the results and highlights you might’ve missed from Week 4 of the AAF.

San Antonio Commanders (2-2) 12, Birmingham Iron (3-1) 11

In a game they desperately needed, the San Antonio Commanders knocked off the previously undefeated Birmingham Iron 12-11. It was a defensive struggle which saw Commanders ultimately prevail after a late Birmingham run. It was just the third road win for an AAF team this season, and the first game the Commanders played away from the Alamodome.

Gridlocked at 3-3 at halftime, San Antonio was stopped six times from the one yard line throughout the game. The Iron’s suffocating defense made its presence felt, limiting San Antonio to just 256 total yards (only 95 passing).

But the Commander’s defense also came to play, coming away with two interceptions to keep points off the board.

Coming off that interception, the Commanders then drove downfield to score on this RB Trey Williams 12-yard touchdown run. They tacked on another field goal later in the fourth quarter to make it 12-3.

But with less than five minutes remaining in the game, Birmingham responded with a touchdown drive of their own, which included four drive-extending penalties committed by the Commanders. But on the ensuing onside conversion attempt, Birmingham QB Perez threw his second interception, and the game was won by San Antonio.

Now in a three-way tie for first place, the Commanders next face another 2-2 team Arizona next week, which should sort things out in the Western Conference. The Iron will look to rebound against Orlando.

Full highlights:

Memphis Express (1-3) 26, San Diego Fleet (2-2) 23

In the best game of the week, the Memphis Express earned their first win in franchise history, coming back from 20-6 to best the Fleet in dramatic fashion.

San Diego turned the ball over four times, keeping the Express in the game. QB Alex Ross was forced to replace Philip Nelson, and the Fleet could not adjust, melting down as Memphis roared back.

The comeback started as the first half ended. Down 14 points, the Express scored a field goal, and then intercepted San Diego six plays later, which led to a one-yard Mettenberg touchdown run with 18 seconds left in the first half. The Fleet lead was cut to just five points after building up a big lead in the first quarter.

San Diego would go on to score just three more points for the rest of the game. In the fourth quarter with the game tied at 23, the Fleet attempted a fake-punt with P Sam Irwin-Hill on 4th and 3 from their own 32. It was unsuccessful, and allowed Memphis to kick the game-winning field goal with just 2:42 left to play.

The Fleet’s last gasp ended in a strip-sack, and Memphis earned their fist victory.

The Express will aim for the second win next week against Atlanta, while the up-and-down Fleet face Salt Lake City.

Full highlights:

Orlando Apollos (4-0) 20, Salt Lake City Stallions (1-3) 11

Not even the snow could slow down the Apollos, who are now the AAF’s only undefeated team. It didn’t matter if they were on the ground or through the air, Steve Spurrier’s team was getting points.

Orlando fought through 35 degree kickoff game temp, and first-half third down struggles to set themselves apart from the rest of the pack. Garrett Gilbert’s 1,071 passing yards through four games are the most in the league, nearly 275 more passing yards than second place QB Luis Perez.

The Stallions fought to hang with Orlando, as this Joel Bouagnon TD brought them within three points heading to the fourth quarter.

Unfortunately for Salt Lake, it was the closest they’d get however, as they were shutout from that point on. The Stallions next face San Diego in Week 5, while the Apollos will try to extend their dominance against Birmingham.

Full highlights:

Atlanta Legends (1-3) 14, Arizona Hotshots (2-2) 11

Also breaking into the win column this week were the Atlanta Legends, whose social media team reacted quite appropriately.

Aaron Murray, who again was pressed into action due to injury, threw for 254 total passing yards on 20 of 33 attempts. Murray also led the team in rushing yards 54, all while orchestrating an offense that recorded a league-high 454 total yards.

Despite the yardage totals, points were hard to come by for the Legends. RB Denard Robinson scored his team’s lone touchdown, but Atlanta’s first points came via the first safety in AAF history.

The Legends were so desperate for points in the first half, it resulted in this ugly fake-field goal attempt, prompting the on-air broadcasters to contemplate if Atlanta even likes field goals (the Legends would ultimately prove that yes, they do like field goals).

The Hotshots wouldn’t go quietly however, managing to tie the game late on a two-point conversion. Jhurell Pressley would add another 110 rushing yards, giving him the third-most out of any AAF rusher so far this season.

But Atlanta ultimately pulled it out, thanks to game-winning drive led by Murray, and Younghoe Koo, who is a perfect 8 for 8 on field goals this season.

During halftime, Arizona retired No. 19 in memory of the 19 City of Prescott firefighters who lost their lives containing the Yarnell Hill Fire in 2013. The entire game was dedicated to honoring those fallen heroes.
