This is why you should never try a rabona in the NFL

Well that... was fucking dreadful.

The comeback was on for the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night but they needed to recover an onside kick to have any hope of getting a third touchdown. The Baltimore Ravens lined up to receive but Steelers kicker Chris Boswell thought "Aha, have I got something for you!" Boswell tried to get all fancy and attempt a rabona to bamboozle the opposition but, unfortunately, he David Dunned it. https://twitter.com/Deadspin/status/795383140017639425 Boswell lacked the coordination required to pull such a move off, hit the top of the football and didn't so much kick it as he did nudge it off the tee. We're not great at measuring distance but we reckon it'd be safe to say that it didn't make it the minimum of 10 yards. https://twitter.com/drewmagary/status/795375234379612160 Hopefully nobody will bring it up to Boswell for the rest of his career. David Dunn probably never hears about this effort. https://twitter.com/DugdaleSam/status/525411552888111104 Why do they try it? Catch up with the latest Football Friday Live here:
