Troy Smith just scampered into the end zone on a quarterback keeper to give the Ravens a 17-9 lead, but that's not what everyone is going to be talking about tomorrow when they discuss the scoring play.
They'll talk about Joe Reitz.
The offensive tackle used to play basketball at Western Michigan. He's 6-7, 320, and probably has dunked hundreds of times in his hoops career.
He still hasn't dunked in his NFL career.
Once Smith crossed the goal line for the touchdown, he went over to the back judge to hand him the football before thinking better of it. Instead, he found Reitz, and gave his tackle the pigskin.
Reitz ran towards the goal posts and tried to slam the ball over the crossbar, but it didn't work out as planned. He got stuffed by the post, and the ball fell harmlessly to the turf.
I'm sure of two things right now: Reitz's teammates got a kick out of the failed dunk, and that we'll be seeing that play on SportsCenter's "Not Top-10" tomorrow.
