Of all the stories Pat McAfee’s told over the years, perhaps the most famous – and hilarious – one involves Troy Polamalu. In 2017, McAfee told the story of how Polamalu screwed him out of his first touchdown.
It’s 2014. The Indianapolis Colts were at Heinz Field with the McAfee family, they’re native Pittsburghers, in the stands. Indy’s gameplan called to run a fake field goal with the ball inside the seven yard line. McAfee would keep the ball and run to the left side where, according to their tape study, there would be a vacant gap.
