description

Football’s unpredictable nature ensures that there’s never a “perfect time” for a screen pass, but on a little-to-lose 2nd & 19 from their own eight-yard line, and against an opponent known to blitz, Cincinnati saw enough to take their shot. Picked to handle the job, Cedric Benson — seeing one collision before even retrieving the pass — elected to forgo any physical dramatics, fusing vision and breakaway speed together in what became a 79-yard catch-and-run, breathing life into Paul Brown Stadium. Ultimately a standout on Dec. 14, 2008, the bruising fourth-year tailback turned in 161 yards (on 24 touches), helping Cincinnati play spoiler in a 20-13 win over Washington.
