Watch Mike Vick pancake Ravens cornerback on Le’Veon Bell TD

Watch the 35-year-old Vick get out in front of Le’Veon Bell’s reversal-of-field touchdown and help escort him into the end zone by pancaking Baltimore Ravens cornerback Lardarius Webb.
If you’re Webb, that’s bad. Embarrassing, even. Here’s another view:
Bell scored a touchdown on the brilliant run, even though the play should have been called back. Steelers fullback Will Johnson got away with a sumo-style takedown as Bell started to cut back. But Vick got his moment of glory in his first start replacing Big Ben. And he made a statement in a big way.
