Quirky UFL rule gives Orlando Storm victory on penalty in overtime
It is one of the rules unique to the UFL and it gave the Orlando Storm a victory in overtime on a penalty despite an incomplete pass.
The United Football League has some unique rules in an effort to make spring football more interesting. One of the more peculiar ones came into play Friday and gave the Orlando Storm a 29-27 over over the Louisville Kings in overtime. FREE FOOTBALL!!!!!
ā Louisville Kings (@UFLKings) April 11, 2026 The teams played to a 27-27 tie in regulation. According to the UFL rulebook, that sets up a best-of-three series of plays from the 5-yard line for each team. Neither team scored in the "conversions," going 0-for-6.
However, Louisville was flagged for pass interference on one. Orlando was unable to push the ball in from the 1-yard line after the penalty. Here is where things get bizarro.
After Louisville failed -- again -- Orlando attempted a pass to former Denver Bronco second-round pick K. J. Hamler in the end zone.
