A Legal Hair-Pull

During the Detroit Lions - Dallas Cowboys game, the Cowboys were down near the goalline. Kitna, the quarterback, decided to hand-off to running back Marion Barber, who had his hair pulled down by Lions' defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh - a VERY legal play. The referees, however, thought otherwise, and called a horse-collar penalty (15 yard penalty) on Suh. Unbelievable.



That play reminded me of a VERY similar play between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Troy Polamalu was returning an interception, and on the run-back, had his hair pulled down by former Chief and Washington Redskin Larry Johnson:

The NFL Play of the Year!

I am already calling the play during the Kansas City Chiefs - San Francisco 49ers game as the NFL play of the year. It's a trick play in which the wide receiver (rookie wide receiver/running back Dexter McCluster) runs in motion towards the quarterback (in this case, the QB is Thomas Jones, who is technically a running back) and receives a hand-off from Jones. McCluster continues running parallel to the line of scrimmage and then laterals the ball to the stand-still quarterback Matt Cassel. The other wide receiver - Dwayne Bowe - is running a 'fly pattern' and catches the ball for a touchdown. The play is basically a complicated 'flea flicker.'

Too confusing? See it in action here:



Amazing, right?
