Thomas Müller has, apparently, been reading the pamphlets and watching the tapes. The move in 2016, it seems, is knocking the ball down to yourself and spinning about while scoring.

Man, Vince Lombardi Really Dumped On The AFL After The First Super Bowl
One of those historic sports things I understand but don’t really get is the state of football leading up to the NFL-AFL merger.
