WATCH: AAF QB somehow completes circus no-look pass during game

Just when you thought the football offseason was here, the Alliance of American Football started up.

On Sunday night, San Diego Fleet QB Philip Nelson (played at East Carolina) completed one of the craziest passes you’ll see to TE Gavin Escobar. Nelson was being chased by members of the Atlanta Legends defense when he pulled the circus no-look pass. Literally.

Somehow, Escobar caught it and stayed in bounds.

….how?

This may be the craziest completion ever. pic.twitter.com/6Ilyd9Sysz

I justed watched an AAF QB throw the ball backwards over his shoulder while under pressure and complete the pass over 5 yards downfield. I'd like to see @PatrickMahomes do that
