"This is for the love of football," Jones said. "Enjoy.”Jones' D.C. Defenders beat the Seattle Dragons 31-19 Saturday afternoon in the opener of the new XFL that provided plenty of entertainment in person and on TV. The first weekend is a chance for football fans to catch a glimpse of some of the few players they might recognize. “Our expectation for this first season is for football fans to simply give us a look, give us a chance, sample us,” Pollack said. “It's something we've got to get used to.”With no extra point kicks, teams had the option of trying one-, two- or three-point conversions, but each coach in the first XFL game only opted for one-point attempts.
