The XFL is here starting the weekend of February 8-9th. Eight teams and a 10 game regular season schedule plus playoffs. With the likes of the Seattle Dragons, DC Defenders, St. Louis BattleHawks and Tampa Bay Vipers - how can we go wrong?
Some interesting rules for the new league including:
. Three non-kick options after scoring a touchdown:
1 point scrimmage play from the 2 yard line
2 point scrimmage play from the 3 yard line
3 point scrimmage play from the 10 yard line
. Double-forward pass
teams will be able to attempt two forward passes on the same play, so long as the ball never crosses the line of scrimmage before the second pass
. One foot in-bounds on pass completions like college football
. Game clock will continue to run even after incomplete passes or players go out of bounds except inside of two minutes in each half.
. If a game goes into overtime - each team will get five single-play possessions from the 5 yard line (like an NHL shootout)
Salaries are capped but each player on the winning teams each week gets an extra incentive bonus. Players should be motivated for the winner's bonus, Hey, maybe we'll see the likes of Johnny Manziel and Antonio Brown again.
