Memphis Showboats vs Pittsburgh Maulers – Live – USFL

The Memphis Showboats and the Pittsburgh Maulers will represent the strength of the USFL when they meet up Saturday at 12:30 p.m. ET at Simmons Liberty Bank Stadium in Memphis.

Two teams that once looked like the worst in the league have come alive in recent weeks.

The Maulers entered the season as the worst team based on last year’s 1-9 record. The Showboats began 2023 on a three-game losing streak.

Now, in the second half of the season, the Showboats (2-3) and Maulers (2-3) are each in contention to earn one of the four spots in the USFL playoffs. While it took some time for the offenses to find their footing behind Showboats quarterback Cole Kelley and Maulers quarterback Troy Williams, these teams have been carried by defense.
