If you happened to watch the San Francisco 49ers and Las Vegas Raiders preseason game this weekend, maybe you saw a touchdown scored by Niners tight end Ross Dwelley.
Or maybe you didn’t at first. Because a football that ping-ponged around ended up in his hands, and thanks to the camera capturing the action, it lost sight of the ball, leading to everyone being so confused as to what happened.
Here’s what did happen: Duke Shelley got his hands on the ball for a near-interception, but as he tried to snag it, he batted it in the air … right into the waiting hands of Dwelley:
A touchdown is a touchdown 😅
