MIAMI– Was it the trick play of the year? That’s what many are saying after the Miami Dolphins pulled off a magical play in the second quarter of their Sunday match up against the Philadelphia Eagles .
With a little more than 4 minutes to go in the 2nd quarter, the Dolphins initially lined up in field goal formation. Punter Matt Haack received the snap and threw a wobbly pass to placekicker Jason Sanders. Sanders was wide open in the endzone, giving the Dolphins a magical touchdown.
PUNTER TO KICKER TOUCHDOWN!
