A Kick with After-Effects

Antonio Brown was aiming for an elegant leap over punter Spencer Lanning in the 2014 game—but instead, he ended up kicking him right in the face. A sporting misfire that led to a penalty and a spot in every highlight reel.

The attempted jump was part of a particularly heated game between the Steelers and the Browns. Instead of applause, there was a fine—and a moment that has been deeply etched into NFL meme history.
