Troy Polamalu’s extrasensory timing was just a bit off today

Ever wonder how Troy Polamalu always times the snap count without messing up? Today, he messed up.

Troy Polamalu has gotten himself a reputation for his insanely impressive timing plays, where he somehow guesses the opposition’s snap count to make an unbelievable play. It’s like he has a sixth sense.

He tried it again Sunday on an extra point as the Ravens tried to tie the game at 16, but ... he was juuuuuuuust a bit early:

Gotta get that ESP recalibrated, bud. You’ve done this in Madden before, right?

The 5-yard penalty was assessed on the next kickoff.

Here’s Polamalu in happier times:
