This elaborate XFL trick play made for an awesome DC Defenders touchdown

This was pretty dope.

Quarterback Cardale Jones and the DC Defenders seemed to be the perfect team to kick off the (second) inaugural season for the XFL.

Jones, an Ohio State product who spent four years in the NFL, put together a heck of a performance against the Seattle Dragons on Saturday. His most epic moment came on a second-half touchdown pass with a trick play. Jones flipped the ball to Donnel Pumphrey, who sent the ball on a reverse to Eli Rogers, who flicked the ball back to Jones.

Reverse! Flea flicker!

Jones found Khari Lee running open downfield, and the tight end beat three would-be tacklers in the open field before finishing in the end zone.

In his XFL debut, Jones was 16 of 26 with 319 total yards and two passing touchdowns in the Defenders 31-19 win over the Dragons.

Looks like the XFL will be pretty fun — even if there should be a fair amount of questions about its financial viability.
