2. From Awesome, to AWESOME CHAOS: The XFL announced they are in testing of some potential changes to their overtime rules when the league debuts in early of 2020.

The defense would score a point with a turnover. That seems rather harmless, BUT IT GETS BETTER. According to Luck, 44 players will be on the field at the same time in the overtime session, with both teams offenses and defenses on opposite ends of the field. Strangely enough, this sounds sort of awesome. Comprehensively insane, but sort of awesome.
