Good question. There was another play like this a while back when the center called a time out or something but in a way that doesn’t count (like, the center can’t call a time out?) and he walked past both the offensive and defensive line and then ran in the touchdown. Might be worth looking into that one too.

I will wait patiently for this to come up in the NFL. Seriously. The Vikings could use this play.

Is that classy at this level?
