“Kizer and the Soul Stay Hot in Texas”
April 20, 2021

Arlington, TX - Both offenses struggled in the first half as the Soul carried a 12-9 lead into half time on the back of four fieldgoals from the leg of Cody Parkey. However, that wasn't the case in the 2nd half as Landry Jones took the Renegades down the field on the first possession and hit Donald Parham for a 13 yard score which was immediately answered by the Soul with a 27 yard touchdown run by Wendell Smallwood. Austin MacGinnis then added a FG for the Renegades making the score 19-19. Kizer then drove the length of the field and found his only touchdown pass of the game by hitting DeAnthony Thomas for a 20 yard score. Landry Jones then decided to start the 4th quarter the same was as the third, as he once again went the length of the field before hitting L'Damien Washington on a slant for a 7 yard TD completion. Now with the game 26-26, it looks like the team with the ball last may take claim to this one. Kizer then got exploded by a blitzing Tim Williams and found Renegade DB D'Montre Wade for a huge interception in their own redzone. Landry Jones threw back to back short receptions before having a tipped pass at the line grabbed by Soul LB Darron Lee. Three plays later, Carlos Hyde busted a 76 yard run to give the Soul the 33-26 lead. Landry Jones then had 1:22 and one last chance to give the 43,576 Renegades fans in attendance what they came to see. However, it wasn't meant to be as intended target TE Gavin Escobar looked to have ran the wrong route that Soul DB Tony Jefferson snagged to seal the win for Philadelphia.
