Albert Wilson scores 55-yard TD on fake punt (Video)
The Kansas City Chiefs scored on one of the more insane fake punts you will ever see, with Albert Wilson going for a 55-yard touchdown.
Kansas City and Atlanta are putting forth one of the most incredible games we have seen this season. The two teams combined for 36 points in the first half, including a pick-six for Eric Berry.
On the first series of the second half, the Chiefs drove to their own 45-yard line before sending out the punting unit. The Chiefs faked the punt, however, and wide receiver Albert Wilson lined up as the upback and took the direct snap. Wilson scooted up the middle of the field before making the deep returner miss, running into the end zone with a somersault at the end.
The touchdown put Kansas City up 27-16 early in the third quarter. The Chiefs are 8-3 and trail the Oakland Raiders by a game in the tight AFC West. Meanwhile, the Falcons are leading the NFC South by a game over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who play later in the afternoon against the San Diego Chargers.

For Wilson, the touchdown was his first career score on special teams. Atlanta is trying to avoid its third loss of the season inn the Georgia Dome, having already lost to San Diego and Tampa Bay.
