Only the winless Cleveland Browns could make something as commonplace as an Andy Dalton to A.J. Green touchdown look improbable.

With seven seconds left before halftime, Dalton launched a Hail Mary into the end zone, which Green caught for a 48-yard touchdown after it deflected off a Cleveland player’s leg.

Green, who was surrounded by five Browns defenders, tipped the ball to himself after it deflected off the leg to send the Bengals into halftime with a 21-10 lead.

🚨 HAIL MARY ALERT! 🚨

Are you kidding?!?
