Wife of Broncos' Garett Bolles roasts lineman for hilarious failed tackle attempt

As an NFL offensive lineman, Garett Bolles doesn't get many chances at making tackles. During Week 4 action against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday though, the career-long member of the Denver Broncos had his chance after running back Melvin Gordon fumbled and Raiders cornerback Amik Robertson took off running towards the end zone with the recovery.

While the 6-foot-5, 300-pound sixth-year pro wasn't able to catch up to Robertson, it wasn't without an all-out effort. The final moments of Bolles' sprint caught the attention of fans across social media on Sunday and his failed dive attempt at the end became one of the season's bloopers.

The 30-year-old's wife, Natalie Bolles, took to Twitter to give her input.

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t die laughing. Good effort though, babe ❤️ https://t.co/x1mwNz8hsW

Ideally for Bolles and the rest of the Broncos offense, he won't be getting many more chances at making a rare tackle. His next opportunity could come in a few days, however, as Denver will take on the Indianapolis Colts in Week 5 on "Thursday Night Football."
