Odd (to me) play sequence

Apologies if it's my ignorance, didn't grow up playing the game here, but this puzzles me.

I get a safety.

Next play, rather than kicking away to me as was previously done, Bills now try an onside kick - I wasn't aware that could be done after a safety?

Onside kick can be attempted during any free kick in the old kickoff rules

That I did not know.

Glad it's legal, helped me win ;)
