The Alliance of American Football is here to provide more football while the NFL season is over.
But Ebersol couldn't help trumpeting that the AAF topics were 11 of the 20 most trending on Twitter following the game and that the league's app was No. 1 on Google Play and No. 2 in the Apple Store.
But you have to start somewhere, and the start for the AAF is a clear win.
The AAF is a brand new eight-team league which will not only showcase local and developing talent, but it will complement the NFL during the offseason. So, who are the notable players on the rosters, who are the teams and what does the schedule look like? Raiders head coach Jon Gruden thought highly of the Penn State passer in his ESPN film room show, but that previous opinion and the quarterback's play wasn't enough to stay on the roster.
But it's a clear victory for the new league. This means that players who either went to college or played with an National Football League team close to one of their eight franchises are pigeonholed to one of those teams. "That's what we want, and hopefully they come back".

He wound up being taken by the New York Jets in the second round of the 2016 National Football League draft, but failed to see any action in two years with the team.
The AAF rules are very different from the NFL. The only thing that will be consistent is the locations of these new teams.
The University of Utah will see several players in the ranks of the AAF. Sunday was an opportunity for him to do that after a few frustrating years in the NFL. Salesi Uhatafe, Tenny Palepoi, Keith McGill, Sealver Siliga, Gionni Paul, Anthony Denham, Kendal Thompson and Kaelin Clay round out the Stallions who have called Rice Eccles Stadium their home before.
On Sunday, Memphis is at Birmingham, and Salt Lake at Arizona.
Early in the first quarter Saturday, San Antonio Commanders linebacker Shaan Washington blindsided Mike Bercovici with an eye-popping hit that sent the San Diego Fleet quarterback's helmet flying.
