The United Football League didn’t help itself last night when Orlando beat Louisville 29-27 in sudden death overtime with a penalty.
The league has a bizarre, little-known rule that ends the game if a defensive team commits two live ball penalties in overtime. The Kings were whistled for pass interference twice, which resulted in mass confusion and thousands of pissed of fans.
Here’s how it unfolded:
