UFL Week 4 power rankings: Battlehawks, Brahmas climbing; Panthers slide

The 2024 UFL season continues to deliver week in and week out. There have been 10 one-possession games through the first four weeks of the season, which has also featured a perfect performance (3 for 3) on alternative onside kicks. 

Officiating heads Mike Pereira and Dean Blandino have been perfect in instant replay review from their command center, and football fans get to hear most offensive play calls during these games, which continue to move at an exciting pace and average under three hours.

The UFL is built on traditional football values and loaded with the best talent of any spring football league in the past 40 years. There isn't much else to ask for a TV product, and the league is continuing to grow and trend upward, as evidenced by the boisterous atmosphere in St. Louis over the weekend.

That said, let's get to our fourth edition of the 2024 UFL power rankings.

1. Birmingham Stallions (4-0)

The Stallions needed a late surge and a field goal from a kicker they signed just four days prior to Saturday to earn the win in Week 4, but they managed to pull off both and remain perfect on the season — extending their winning streak to 11 games dating back to 2023.

After the UFL’s first 300-yard passing performance and entering Week 4 as the UFL’s leading rusher, QB Adrian Martinez watched the start swing back to former Ole Miss signal-caller Matt Corral. 

Corral held serve in the QB derby with the win and a solid performance. He completed 19 of 29 passes for 240 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions. Still, there’s little doubt that the offense is more explosive with Martinez in at QB.

What’s nice for Stallions head coach Skip Holtz is that it doesn’t matter much to his playmakers, and no one was bigger in
