CBS Sports will carry the games….
The new Alliance of American Football is almost ready for kickoff (the two season-openers, San Diego-San Antonio and Atlanta-Orlando, are both on CBS at 8 p.m. ET Saturday, with regional coverage, and can be streamed on CBS All Access). So, what exactly is the AAF? Well, you may have come across some news about former NFL quarterbacks finding new homes, if you’ve been reading football headlines recently,
CBS Sports Network aired a QB Draft with lead analysis from Kurt Warner, for instance, and in that draft, familiar names like Christian Hackenberg, Josh Johnson (who ended up playing for the Washington Redskins in a few games late in the 2018 NFL season) and Aaron Murray were selected as if starting their NFL careers afresh.
Those quarterbacks — and countless other players — are actually preparing to suit up for the AAF, a brand new league set to debut on Saturday.
If you’re like most football fans, however, and you’re still trying to figure out just what the heck AAF really is, well, you’ve come to the right place. Here, we’ve got all the details you need to get ready for the games this weekend (and we’ve even got Power Rankings):
