The Colts were in a tight game with the Ravens throughout the first half and even managed to rally late in the fourth quarter to force overtime. But they did so after a huge mishap by quarterback Gardner Minshew, who remade of one of the most memorable blunders in sports history.
Minshew pulled off his best Dan Orlovsky impression in brutal fashion.
As seen below, Minshew dropped back in the end zone ... and then just kept dropping back until he stepped right out of the back of it, resulting in a safety for the Ravens..
The @danorlovsky7 legacy lives on.

Shortly after the play happened, Orlovsky himself took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to post a video of his obvious excitement that he’s “off the hook.”

And in case anyone happened to forget the scene from Orlovsky running out of the back of the end zone, it was slightly tougher to swallow. As you can see, the former Lions quarterback was just in full rollout mode while completely out of the end zone.
Fortunately for the Colts and Minshew, their late-game rally led to an overtime victory, so this will just be a moment to look back at and laugh, which is what many fans did, as the reactions poured in.
LMFAOOOOOOO
