The Lions will also have new rules that apply solely to them to balance out the playing field:
- When playing the Blind Academy , the Lions must not hide the football under their jerseys.
A touchdown (this is when the ball is carried over the goal line. For all you Lions fans that have never seen this) it is still worth 6 points.
The Lions will be awarded a first down with each gain of three yards or more, instead of the usual ten yards.
At least they’d have a shot at Thanksgiving with this scenario. I’m setting the over/under at 5 wins. Any takers?
