Rumor has it that Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn shouted exactly the title of this slide after this play transpired in Week 13. Leading by just four points early in the second half, the Kansas City Chiefs were forced to a fourth-and-one in their own territory by their opponents. Chiefs head coach Andy Reid decided that a slim lead was one too close to gamble on, and he sent out the punting unit.
What the Falcons weren’t expecting was that Reid had called in a direct snap to wide receiver Albert Wilson, lined up in the Kansas City protection group. Wilson got the snap, and the diminutive wideout sped through the center of the line untouched. He boogied on for 25 yards, only having to slightly change course to evade the still-stunned Falcons returner. That obstacle eliminated, a simple trick play became a 55-yard touchdown to put the Chiefs up 11 points.
