Field Level Media
Trent Richardson rushed for 83 yards and scored the game’s only touchdown to lead the Birmingham Iron to a 17-9 victory over the visiting Atlanta Legends on Sunday, clinching a playoff berth in the Alliance of American Football.
Birmingham (5-3) only gained 177 total yards, but took advantage of four turnovers by Atlanta (2-6) — including two late in the fourth quarter — to secure the win.
Set up by the Iron’s fumble recovery near the goal line, Richardson snapped a 3-3 tie with a 2-yard TD run in the second quarter. Quinton Patton added a two-point conversion on a pass from Luis Perez.
Birmingham’s Nick Novak (35, 37 and 28 yards) and Atlanta’s Younghoe Koo (33, 31, 35) were each 3-for-3 on field goals.
