Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Austin Johnson made a heck of a play in his team’s Week 8 win against the Seattle Seahawks, and it’s worth a second look.
If you were in attendance at Lumen Field on Sunday or watching along on television, you got to see a play that is one of the better joys in football: the big-man interception.
It’s not every week you get to it. It’s right up there with the big-man touchdown and probably falls just behind the rare big-man kick return.
The interception from the 6-4, 313-pounder also came at a crucial time in the game for the Bills.
The Seahawks were driving in Bills territory early in the second half, trying to make it a one-score game. The turnover stalled the Seahawks’ momentum, but even better for the Bills, they went on a touchdown drive directly after it.
Before moving on to Week 9, take one more look at the game-changing play from Johnson in Buffalo’s 31-10 win:
Big man INT!
