The Philadelphia Stars made USFL history this Saturday afternoon, successful converting a 3-point conversion attempt against the Pittsburgh Maulers.
After the Stars scored a touchdown to go up 27-23, they opted for a 3-point conversion so they could potentially lead by a touchdown with less than nine minutes remaining.
Stars quarterback Bryan Scott connected on a pass to running back Paul Terry in the flats around the 10-yard line. Terry had one man to beat, made them missed, and then dove into the end zone.
Terry capped off this historic 3-point conversion with a little dance for the folks watching at home.
Here’s the first 3-point conversion in USFL history:
