Watch Chris Boswell comically fail on onside-kick attempt

Wild Card Round - Pittsburgh Steelers v Cincinnati Bengals

For those who didn’t watch the Pittsburgh Steelers take a 21-14 loss to the Baltimore Ravens and lose control of the AFC North Sunday, one play sums up the affair quite well.

Pittsburgh was so bad on the day it was funny, with kicker Chris Boswell capping off the day with an incredible fail.

Boswell wanted to fake a kick one way and go the other on an on-side attempt. Didn’t work:

To be fair, Boswell has pulled this off in the past to perfection:

Twitter came in strong with the jokes:

Alas, Boswell couldn’t make it happen. Fitting, really, during a game in which the Steelers ran for 36 yards and Ben Roethlisberger returned from injury and might as well have milked it another week. The defense wasn’t any better giving up one of the longest players to wideout Mike Wallace in franchise history.

Overall, a day to forget for the Steelers. Unfortunately for Boswell, nobody will forget the kick attempt. It will live on forever in the social media realm.
