Reid: Poe's TD play called 'Bloated Tebow Pass'

This about sums it up.

After a one-yard touchdown pass from Dontari Poe stole the show in Sunday night's win over the Denver Broncos, Kansas CIty Chiefs head coach Andy Reid revealed the perfect name for the play call featuring the standout defensive tackle.

"Bloated Tebow Pass," Reid told reporters, according to BJ Kissel of the team's official website.

The reference to Tim Tebow can be considered a nod to the considerable success the former Heisman Trophy winner had with the goal line jump pass during his time at the University of Florida.

Calling it a "bloated" version is only fitting given Poe's 346-pound frame.

The massive nose tackle became the heaviest player in league history to score a rushing touchdown earlier this season. Sunday night's play, which effectively sealed a win to knock Denver out of the playoffs, now gives him the same honor among passers.
