Dolphins lineman Robert Hunt impresses with incredible touchdown, but it doesn't count
NFL fans watching Dolphins-Ravens were hype over the play
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Miami Dolphins offensive lineman Robert Hunt may have made the play of the year – but it didn’t count.
With the Dolphins driving early in the fourth quarter, Tua Tagovailoa dropped back to pass as the Baltimore Ravens’ pass rushers were coming toward him. It appeared the team was setting up for a screen and Tagovailoa was trying to throw the ball to his running back.

Somehow, Hunt got in the middle of the play and caught the ball. He would avoid a would-be tackler and dive into the end zone. He got up-ended and appeared to put the ball across the goal line with what would have been a touchdown for the Dolphins.

However, the guard didn’t report in as an eligible receiver and a penalty was called on the Dolphins. The touchdown was erased and Miami would eventually settle for a field goal on the drive.
