Indianapolis Colts’ Philip Rivers is a painful reminder of why quarterbacks should stick to throwing the football instead of trying to tackle an opposing ball carrier.

Baltimore Ravens safety Chuck Clark recovered a fumble by Colts running back Jonathan Taylor and returned it 65 yards for a touchdown to tie the game at 7-7 with 1:11 to go in the first quarter.

While Clark was returning the fumble, Rivers attempted to make a tackle, but he just fell down around the 30-yard line before Clark jumped over the veteran quarterback before scampering into the endzone for the touchdown.
