Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson's 84-yard touchdown pass to Tylan Wallace early in the fourth quarter of Thursday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals is officially the longest pass of his NFL career.
He has Wallace to thank for that.
After catching a seven-yard pass along the sidelines, Wallace turned up field and tightrope walked down the sidelines, barely keeping his feet in bounds, on his way to the end zone.

How close was he to going out of bounds?
This close.

His heel is still off the ground there, but had it gone down another inch or so it would have come down out of bounds, negating the touchdown and ending the play.
While that could have been a game-tying score, the usually reliable Justin Tucker missed the ensuing extra point.
