Miami Dolphins offensive lineman Robert Hunt made the play of the game against the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday Night Football.

And it didn’t even count.

On a third-and-goal early in the fourth quarter, the Dolphins dialed up a screen pass for running back Myles Gaskin. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa lofted the ball in Gaskins’ direction despite there being two Ravens defenders in the area.

The pass was completed to a Dolphin who took it to the house, but it wasn’t Gaskin.

That’s 6-foot-6, 327-pound Robert Hunt who caught that pass in stride, immediately thought ‘end zone’ and impressively extended the ball over the goal line.
