Packers offensive lineman Zach Tom earned his team 15 yards in Week 5's matchup against the Raiders after wildly flopping following a shove in the back from Maxx Crosby.
Tom, who was standing near one of the game’s referees, sold the contact from Crosby in an Oscar-worthy performance that resulted in him flopping to the ground.
His acting abilities seem to have fooled the official, who quickly whipped out a penalty flag and issued an unnecessary roughness penalty against Crosby.
NFL fans couldn’t help but have a laugh over the situation after a replay of the incident was shown, as the footage clearly depicts Tom selling the contact with an egregious flop.
Give Zach Tom an Oscar for this flop 😂
