On Sunday night the Kansas City Chiefs iced the Denver Broncos' playoff hopes with a 33-10 beatdown, giving NFL fans in Colorado a disappointing final Christmas present that could only be rivaled by socks and undies and scented candles. And even though the game was long since decided, late in the fourth quarter KC punctuated their 'W' by letting 346-pound nose tackle Dontari Poe flip a touchdown into the end zone to become the player with the highest gravitational pull in league history to throw for a touchdown:

While it's certainly fair to debate whether the play was a message being sent to a divisional rival—or if coach Andy Reid simply wanted to reward Poe by calling the "bloated Tebow pass"—it's worth noting that the d-lineman's feat comes in addition to him also being the heaviest player in league history to rush for a touchdown, which he did last November in a goal line situation against the Chargers:

With his pass, Poe bumped JaMarcus Russell from the record books, which has to be the only time that sentence ever has (or will) be typed:

Congrats to him.
