To send the scintillating Dolphins-Bills game to overtime on Christmas eve, Miami kicker Andrew Franks nailed a 55-yard field goal with six seconds remaining in regulation.
A few days after the game, while meeting with the media, Franks made this known:
Andrew Frank's kicked a QB ball rather than a K ball on his 55-yard kick in Buffalo. The K ball typically new and travels further.

Ummm... is that legal?
MRW and I did some research, and, well... we weren’t able to uncover a concrete answer regarding whether kicking with the QB ball was legal or not.
