NFL Total Access looks back at the tackle made by Ben Watson in the 2005 playoffs against Denver.

NFL Videos: NFLTA: Ben Watson's tackle

A tight end just caught one of the fastest players in the league and he was on the opposite side of the field and he ran into the ref.
Memories....

It's a pretty amazing effort by Watson.. i have liked him since we drafted him. He might have a case of the drops every once in a while but he's overall pretty consistent. Seems to make the really tough catches way more regularly than the easy ones... Great video, i like the part when the Denver players are talking about it.

1 of the greatest football plays period imo and I was at the 50 yard line in person for 4th and 26.

Touchback.

I still think Watson has the potential to become one of the league's best receiving TEs. They should play him more consistently.

It was certainly a great, memorable, hustle play by Watson, an athletic freak of nature at tight end.

However, it also says a lot about Watson, that this play is Watson's most well known play, after being a 1st rd TE pick and having played many many years already with fewer memorable plays at his actual position.

I'm gonna go ahead and call the MNF opener against the Jills THIS YEARhis best performance so far. And I bet his season will follow form.

they would have steamrolled the Steelers in Foxborough and Seattle was a joke that year. It was also one of the few red-zone interceptions (in the only?) Brady has ever thrown in the post season.
