Were you ready for some football? For the first time in over two years, professional football was played in the Spring in the United States, with last night marking the revival of the USFL. The Birmingham Stallions eked out a late victory over the New Jersey Generals for the first regular-season game in this latest incarnation.
And several players who have had connections to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the past were a part of that inaugural game. Perhaps most notably, former cornerback Brian Allen was a starting member of the Stallions’ secondary. He did draw a defensive pass interference call during the game, though he was also able to make a few plays as a starter, finishing the game with four tackles, including one for loss, and a pass defensed.
