Congratulations to Elvis Dumervil, because he made the Hall of Shame on Sunday with a terrible penalty he committed at the end of the Baltimore Ravens-Jacksonville Jaguars game. 

Dumervil’s Ravens were leading 20-19 and the Jags had the ball around midfield with 14 seconds left. For Jacksonville it was a 4th-and-4 play, so they had to convert to keep the game going. Luckily Dumervil gave them a boost.

The Baltimore pass-rusher went after Blake Bortles and was bringing him down for a sack, but he grabbed the quarterback’s facemask. Click here to see video of the play. 

 

The 15-yard penalty gave the Jags the ball at the 35, and Jason Meyers kicked a 53-yard field goal on the final play to win the game 22-20. They spell goat E-L-V-I-S in Baltimore.
