Shea McClellin leaps over center to block field goal (Video)
Shea McClellin made an incredible special teams play against the Ravens that led to a Patriots touchdown.
With the Patriots up 2-0 in the first quarter of Monday’s game between the Patriots and Ravens, Justin Tucker was lined up for a 34-yard field goal attempt. McClellin made sure Baltimore would be held scoreless for the time being. The Patriots linebacker perfectly timed his leap over the center and proceeded to block Tucker’s attempt.

Coming into the game, Tucker had converted each of his field goal (28) and extra point (20) attempts this season. Overall, he had converted 35 field goals in a row, the fifth longest streak of all-time. Not only did McClellin make a great play, he stopped Tucker’s pursuit of NFL history.
