XFL Roughnecks pull off double-forward pass touchdown
It is almost unfair to use trickeration on the hapless and winless Orlando Guardians.
Wade Phillips and the Houston Roughnecks didn’t care in XFL action on Saturday and wound up with a 20-0 lead after a trick play thanks to league rules.
The XFL allows for double-forward passes if the first throw is behind the line of scrimmage.
Brandon Silvers threw the football to Jontre Kirklin, who went deep, deep, deep to Deontay Burnett.
Forty-nine yards later, Burnett was in the end zone and the Roughnecks led 20-0 … in the first quarter.
