Devwah Whaley and his Houston Gamblers teammates had the undefeated Birmingham Stallions punch drunk late in the fourth quarter.
And with the Stallions driving toward a potential game-winning field goal attempt, defensive back Micah Abernathy delivered the knockout blow.
Abernathy undercut a J’Mar Smith pass attempt directed toward receiver Marlon Williams, intercepting the errant throw to seal a 17-15 victory for the Gamblers Saturday night at Protective Stadium.
Whaley had 11 carries for 15 yards, he also had 1 catch for 3 yards.
