After her husband’s Super Bowl XLVI loss to the New York Giants, Gisele Bündchen delivered a now infamous burn about the Patriots receiving corps.

“You have to catch the ball when you’re supposed to catch the ball,” she said. “My husband cannot f—— throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time. I can’t believe they dropped the ball so many times.”

Well, turns out throwing and catching a touchdown in the same play is actually possible.

During Saturday’s AFC wild-card contest, Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota did exactly that. A pass intended for wide receiver Corey Davis in the end zone was deflected by a Chiefs cornerback Darrelle Revis right into the hands of Mariota. He proceeded to run the ball in for a touchdown.
