On Saturday against the Atlanta Falcons, Baltimore Ravens running back Owen Wright raced off the 14-yard line. His head was down as he sprinted to the right side. After six yards, he turned to find quarterback Josh Johnson sending a pass his way. The ball was a touch behind him. Wright swiveled, secured the ball and turned around to find Atlanta Falcons inside linebacker Milo Eifler beating him intercepting his angle to the end zone.

Wright caught the ball at the six-yard line. Eifler had begun tackling Wright at the three. But Wright had the wherewithal to extend the ball to the pylon, which came tumbling down as he did.
