Former Seahawks QB Alex McGough throws 35-yard touchdown in USFL debut

Alex McGough is still playing pro football — just not in the NFL. And not the CFL either. Or the XFL.

Instead, the former Seattle Seahawks QB is taking his shot at keeping his career going with the Birmingham Stallions of the USFL, which relaunched this past weekend. The Stallions took on the New Jersey Generals in the first game of the new season, and pulled out a come-from-behind win, 28–24.

Although McGough was not the quarterback who led the game-winning drive, he did add at least one play to his highlight reel, and finished with 55 yards on 5-for-10 passing, a touchdown, and an interception.
