NFL fans went into a frenzy following a genius heads-up play by Pittsburgh Steelers special teams returner Godwin Igwebuike on Saturday evening.

Igwebuike was preparing to field a kickoff in the second quarter of Pittsburgh’s must-win game against the Baltimore Ravens. After the kickoff, a clever and alert Igwebuike had the NFL rule book in the back of his mind during the play and thus supplied his team with excellent field position:
