Plays of the Year: Darrius Heyward-Bey hustles to prevent a touchdown

Steel City Underground presents “Plays of the Year” featuring the tops runs, catches, hits and everything else in-between for the Steelers 2016 season.

If you want a synopsis of how the Cleveland Browns 2016 season went, look no further than Week 17 when the 1-14 team came to town to take on a Pittsburgh Steelers team already in the postseason rested a number of their starters.

Two of those starters were quarterback Landry Jones and wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey, who were involved in this “play of the year”, which didn’t start out as one.

On 3rd-and-11 Jones looks downfield for Eli Rogers, overthrowing his receiver and subsequently getting picked off by Browns cornerback Briean Boddy-Calhoun… who starts to take the ball “to the house”.

In fact, nearly everyone thought that Boddy-Calhoun scored on the play: except for Darrius Heyward-Bey, who busts his butt to make the “play”, stripping the football, which ends up back where it started: in Landry Jones’ hands!
