A Stepping Stone
Imagine the gridiron as a battlefield and Spencer Lanning as a brave knight. In a 2014 face-off between the Cleveland Browns and the Pittsburgh Steelers, Lanning found himself on the receiving end of Antonio Brown’s boot—right on the head! It’s as if the Steelers’ wide receiver mistook football for a Bruce Lee movie.
While the moment earned Brown a penalty, it also became an instant YouTube sensation. This jaw-dropping clip added sizzle to an otherwise one-sided game that the Steelers won 24-3. Even though the Browns lost, Lanning’s unintentional role as a human stepping-stool immortalized him in the annals of sports blunders. How’s that for a sacrifice?
