A great play, though ultimately for naught as Denver maintained possession at the 1 yard line and would ultimately punch it in on a Mike Anderson TD run. New England would go on to lose the game, snapping Tom Brady's streak of 10 playoff wins without a loss.
How Far Did Ben Watson Run?
Linebacker Tedy Bruschi said, "We saw Ben was on the other side of the field so he basically had to run like 120 yards, even longer than that, to get that."
A great hustle play for sure, but how far did Ben Watson actually run on that play, and how much further did he go than Champ Bailey, one of the fastest players in the NFL?
