Cain's exceptional performance included four receptions for 70 yards and three touchdowns and five kickoff returns for 101 yards, contributing to his 171 all-purpose yards.

Cain's impact on the game was undeniable from the opening kickoff. His athleticism and precise route-running were on full display as he hauled in a series of key receptions, leaving the opposing defenders struggling to contain him in all areas of the game.

After the final whistle, Cain accepted the honor of being named the MVP of the Championship Game. In his post-game remarks, he thanked the USFL for recognizing his contributions and credited his success to a higher power, saying, "It’s a dream come true. All glory to God. I couldn’t do it without these Stallions fans-- without my teammates. I just want to take a moment and soak it in with my guys.”
