When Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon fumbled in the second quarter of Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders, cornerback Amik Robertson recovered the ball and returned it 68 yards for a touchdown.
Broncos left tackle Garett Bolles made a valiant effort to chase down Robertson but he wasn’t quite able to catch him. Just before Robertson reached the end zone, Bolles lept into the air — but he was way too far away to come close to a tackle.
The awkward attempted tackle quickly was funny to watch and quickly went viral on Twitter, with even Bolles’ own wife finding humor in the play.
Bolles will catch some grief for the funny dive, but he really did show good effort on the play and it’s great to see that he didn’t give up. His effort was a bright spot in an otherwise disappointing game for Denver.
