Referee comes thiiiis close to getting destroyed by defender after falling on his butt

It’s not nice to laugh at someone when they fall down, but if America’s Funniest Home Videos taught us anything, it is totally okay to laugh at people falling when they’re on TV.
This play is beautiful for the unison backpedal with Tyrod Taylor. We all want to emulate our favorite athletes and that’s all this ref wanted to do. Unfortunately gravity had other ideas. Look at how close this ref comes to getting obliterated by Jaye Howard. That’s a 301-pound man falling towards your head. We can laugh because this was almost really bad.
