Joe Flacco wasn't about to stand and watch the Baltimore Ravens' special-teams unit lose Super Bowl XLVII.
While on the sideline with his teammates as the Ravens' kick-coverage team lined up with 4 seconds to play in the game and Baltimore holding a 34-31 lead, Flacco told tight end Dennis Pitta to run onto the field and tackle the San Francisco 49ers' Ted Ginn Jr. if he got into the clear.
"If he starts to break it, go tackle him," Flacco told Pitta, as caught by NFL Films microphones.

"Really?" Pitta replied.
Yeah, really. Flacco appeared to be stone serious.
"I don't know," Flacco said. "I mean, what else … what could they … I don't know. They might be able to give him a touchdown on that, but I don't know."
Flacco then went to his offensive linemen and told them the same thing.
"Hey, if he breaks it, if he busts it for some reason, tackle him, go tackle him," Flacco said. "I don't know what the rule is on that, but…"

The ruling would've been a touchdown. The officials would've ruled it a "palpably unfair act" with a "distance penalty determined by the Referee after consultation with other officials."
So the only result of the situation would've been some ridiculous footage of a bunch of helmetless players coming off the bench to chase after Ginn.
Which would've made the shots from the blackout footage the second-silliest images of the evening.
But hey, at least the ringleader would've led the charge.
"Why can't you (go tackle him)?" center Matt Birk asks Flacco after the quarterback barks the command.
"I will," Flacco said. "I'm going to."
Thankfully for Flacco and the Ravens, Ginn was tackled at midfield and the game was over.
