Ravens’ Marcus Williams made absurd pick while lying on his back and NFL fans were amazed

It never hit the ground???

One of the more common ways NFL players and coaches sometimes characterize losses is by saying, “the ball didn’t bounce our way.” Or “luck wasn’t on our side” on a few plays that turned the game’s tide.

Judging by the way their matchup with the Dolphins started, the Ravens (-3.5) and safety Marcus Williams will probably find it hard to say they didn’t get the bounces. After Devin Duvernay gave Baltimore an early 7-0 lead on a kickoff return, it was on Miami and Tua Tagovailoa to answer. The quarterback would try to thread the needle on a pass to Tyreek Hill, but Williams broke on the ball for an easy deflection when there wasn’t enough mustard on it. Alright, next play. Moving on.

Well, except for Williams making a ridiculous show of concentration while lying on the ground for an incredible interception:

Aside from general laws of physics, I still don’t know how that ball landed perfectly in a spot for Williams to keep it from hitting the ground. The ball did, indeed, bounce in favor of the Ravens.

Still, it’s not a pick if Williams doesn’t stay alert even while seemingly out of the play. A big-time, heads-up takeaway and a sparkling effort for Williams in the Ravens’ secondary.
