Missouri Silverbacks Earn First GDFL 11-Man Victory with Stunning Upset Over Outlaws
St. Louis, MO – The Missouri Silverbacks made a statement in Week 7 of their inaugural GDFL 11-man season, delivering a decisive 38-8 upset over the No. 2-ranked Outlaws.
Entering the matchup, the Silverbacks were still searching for their first win since transitioning from 8-man football, while the Outlaws arrived with a 4-1 record and a reputation for dominance. Oddsmakers listed the Outlaws as 21.5-point favorites, and the visiting squad traveled without several key players — confident they could still secure the victory.
The Silverbacks had other plans. Fueled by standout performances from Titus Baker, Malcom Johnson, Davon Jenkins, and Torre Chatman, Missouri executed a balanced and aggressive game plan that overwhelmed the favored Outlaws.
“This was more than just a win — it was proof of what this team is capable of when we execute,” said Team Owner Alfred Baines of the Missouri Silverbacks. “We’ve been working hard all season, and today our players showed their heart and resilience.”
From start to finish, the Silverbacks controlled the pace, stifling the Outlaws’ offense while finding consistent success on both the ground and through the air. The win snaps their early-season skid and injects new life into their playoff hopes.
The Silverbacks now turn their attention to the Tennessee Vikings, riding the momentum of their biggest performance of the season.
