​The AAF is filling the football-shaped void in our lives after the conclusion of Super Bowl LIII. With the goal of giving the viewer a quicker game, the league appointed some new rules. Well, fans saw one attempt of those rules on Sunday between the Birmingham Iron and ​Atlanta Legends. Instead of an onside kick, a team has the option to go for a 4th & 12 attempt from their own 28-yard line. If they are successful, they gain possession.​

This is so much better than an onside kick.pic.twitter.com/UuOJMm1cV3 — Sporting News (@sportingnews) February 25, 2019

Well, as you saw, the Legends had the first attempt in league history...and it worked. Quarterback Matt Simms unleashed a prayer pass to wide receiver Seantavius Jones, who somehow came down with the ball.





We're sure if this was an option in the NFL, no team would ever attempt an onside kick again.
