Pat McAfee has been pretty open about the longstanding grudge he’s holding against Troy Polamalu, but now we know even more about what happened.

The former WVU kicker turned NFL punter had a chance to do something kickers can only dream of – score a touchdown. Add on doing that in front of your family and friends back in your home city and McAfee could’ve enjoyed a moment that would’ve been a career highlight to cherish forever.
