The Louisville Kings are 0-2 in UFL games after falling to Jack Plummer and the Orlando Storm. What we learned about Chris Redman's Kings in the loss:

The Louisville Kings will leave Inter&Co Stadium on Saturday with a 19-9 loss to the Orlando Storm — and more questions for coach Chris Redman and his staff to answer if they want to notch their first United Football League win.

Rogers, a 6-foot California grad, proceeded to complete nine of his 13 first-half attempts for 116 yards. He also led the longest drive of the season to date — 73 yards in 11 plays, resulting in a field goal. He wasn't perfect, missing a wide-open Tarik Black in the end zone on a backside read and instead overthrowing a covered Zach Davidson on a third down and 7 at the Storm's 23-yard line.
