The Carolina Panthers tried to dial up a flea flicker in a key moment in their Week 18 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It backfired immensely.
The play in question came on a first-and-10 from Tampa Bay's 20-yard line. Panthers quarterback Bryce Young handed the ball to running back Rico Dowdle, who appeared poised to carry it up the middle of the Buccaneers' defense.

As a result, the ball bounced in front of Young, and the third-year quarterback wasn't able to corral it before 35-year-old linebacker Lavonte David pounced on it.
