The Guardians have moved from New York to Orlando for the 2020 XFL season. They compiled a 3-2 record in 2020, rebounding from a couple of blowout losses with back-to-back wins before the season was brought to a premature end. Terrell Buckley has replaced Kevin Gilbride as head coach and they possess a whole new roster.
One notable name on the roster is former NFL first-round draft pick Paxton Lynch, but he struggled at quarterback for the USFL Michigan Panthers last season. Orlando Guardians vs Houston Roughnecks
The Houston Roughnecks are one of the holdover teams form the 2020 season. The Roughnecks compiled a league-best 5-0 record before that campaign was brought to an early end, and many consider them unofficial champions. This 2023 group is very different from the 2020 team, with the head coach and all of their key talent gone.
New head coach Wade Phillips boasts a wealth of experience though and is considered one of the best defensive minds in the game.He has put together a talented roster that has a deep quarterback room and a wealth of talent on defense.
