The Watch Taboo Sex DaughterPittsburgh Steelers were down by a touchdown with less than a minute to play in Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. So, in a effort to maintain possession of the ball, they did what any team would do — an onside kick.
But it didn't work out so well.

Folks on Twitter were quick to label it one of the worst onside kick attempts in NFL history.
That may be the worst onside kick ever. Even the refs are laughing. HAHA! #Steelers

And here's the full play, just to have some perspective on how unfortunate it was. The Steelers lost not long after.
The @Steelers just tried a rabona onside kick.
