The Play of the Year

Every game has great plays, but the 71 yard kick return by OL Dan Connelly has to be one of the season's highlights. It was the longest kick return in NFL history by a lineman.

It would have been nice if he scored a touchdown, but he was stopped on the four yard line. He caught the ball on a short kick and proceeded to carry it with two hands against his stomach as all linemen are trained.

Once he broke a few tackles, he ran like a bruising full=back in the open field. He even stiff-armed a defender.

I have seen many great plays, but this one was at the top of the list for any season. That will probably go down as the highlight of his career.
