In week 1, the San Diego Chargers won on a touchdown run by Darren Sproles at the end of the game. There was some deception involved, and it worked perfectly.
The next week, against the Baltimore team, needing a touchdown to win on fourth down, Darren Sproles is lined up in the exact same formation as the previous week. This week, it happens that Ray Lewis is watching.
Once the ball was snapped, in the blink of an eye Lewis had tackled Sproles. Like when a guy swings and you know its a home run. That fast.
Ray Lewis is a football savant. Been in some pretty hot water off the field at least once. We'll find out later if he has other skills. But Ray probably watched that film of Sproles' touchdown 20 times in film sessions. So, when he saw it before him, his specially trained brain KNEW IT. Like the Terminator locking in on a target. Or Luke Skywalker's final shot. It's always some sort of greenish-hued screen with crosshairs and shit. He's waited through 59 minutes and 45 seconds of official time, dragging his massive 34 year old body on and off the field for over 3 hours.
Then, on that greenish screen, in some neon color the word 'Confirmed' starts flashing, and its over.
