It's a play that will live in infamy.

Down 21-14 to the Baltimore Ravens with 48 seconds left, Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell attempted an unorthodox onside kick, referred to as the "rabona." Boswell deflected his own kick less than a yard with his other foot, then earned a penalty for booting it downfield for a second time. Baltimore wrapped up the win after the bizarre sequence.

One Ravens player couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"He looked like a moron out there," Ravens safety Eric Weddle told NFL.com. "When it didn't go anywhere, I just started laughing. I'm like, 'why are they still running after the ball?' It's a penalty, guys. The game's over. It was classic. And that kick's going to be infamous."

Boswell's Charlie Brown moment will join a litany of blooper plays in recent NFL lore, most notably Mark Sanchez's "butt fumble" and Dan Orlovsky's scramble out of the end zone for a safety.
