de Querétaro. Hazlett threw the team's first-ever touchdown to JD Crandall in the first quarter, but the Tiburones suffered a 21–12 defeat to start their season. After a bye week, the Tiburones hosted the Tequileros de Jalisco in their home opener at the Estadio Andrés Quintana Roo and earned a 20–14 victory – the first in franchise history. Despite this, head coach Alejandro Evangelista unexpectedly announced his resignation after only two games due to disagreements with the front office, and defensive coordinator Édgar Torres was named the interim head coach. Four players left the team as well. In their next game, the Tiburones were shutout 38–0 by the Parrilleros de Monterrey, who were led by former Auburn quarterback Jeremy Johnson. Ahead of their week 5 matchup against the Rojos CDMX, the Tiburones' foreign players did not practice due to unpaid wages, and rumors circulated that the players were considering a boycott of the game. Although the players ended up taking the field against the Rojos, the team suffered a 42–14 defeat. Instead of playing at the Estadio Andrés Quintana Roo, the Tiburones hosted their rivals at the Coliseo Maya, the home stadium of the college team, causing even more uncertainty among the local fan base. In order to save on hotel accommodations, the Tiburones front office decided to fly the team to Chihuahua City on the morning of their week 6 matchup against the Caudillos de Chihuahua. Consequently, the Tiburones suffered the largest blowout in FAM history, losing 62–0 as more reports emerged of unpaid wages to players and coaching staff. Team owner Andrés Baños and sporting director Luis Tello continually refused to publicly address their troubles, drawing ire from local media. Additionally, American quarterback Clark Hazlett was traded to the Tequileros de Jalisco. In week 7, the Tiburones hosted the last-placed Bulldogs de Naucalpan at the Estadio Cancún 86, their third "home" stadium in as many home games. The Tiburones lost 14–28, giving the Bulldogs their first win of the season. The following week, the Tiburones suffered their fifth consecutive loss, a 40–14 defeat at the hands of the Jefes de Ciudad Juárez. The Tiburones closed their season at home at the Estadio Cancún 86 with a 35–26 loss to the Cabo Marlins. The team finished the 2022 FAM season in last place with a 1–7 record, losing their final six games and failing to qualify for the playoffs.
