USFL Week 1: Best plays, most innovative camera angles
Week 1 of the USFL season was filled with exciting plays, and those plays were delivered in a variety of innovative ways.
Among the best were:
— A first-person view of a pick-six.
— A drone chasing the action on a long scoop-and-score by the Houston Gamblers against the Michigan Panthers.
— The view from inside Darnell Holland's helmet on his 42-yard touchdown scamper.
— A sideline view of a Shea Patterson dart thrown on the run.
In addition to those plays, there was a host of mic'd up players and coaches, offering a glimpse of the scheming and trash-talking that take place on the field.
