Let's hear it for the only Offensive Lineman in the history of the NFL to return a kickoff 71 yards!

I wish he scored. That would have been ridiculous.

Heck, it already was ridiculous.

But in all seriousness, where would we be without that play? The way the offense was mis-firing, we probably don't score at the end of the half. Heck, we almost didn't score even from the 5 yard line.

That was a huge play in the game. It was funny, yes. But I'm not sure we win without it.

Hope the head injury isn't a concussion and he's okay to play next week.

I get ecstatic when a WR returns a kick for big yardage, but an OG? That was great. If he had only took it back for a TD. Wow.

You know that hallway where the team puts up a highlight photo from every win? Please, oh please let it be the immortal Connolly stiff-arm.

yeah.... this was a yearly highlight for me. Watching him lumber down the field, stiff-arming and then powering his way to the 4? Magnificent. Set the tone for the second half, and keeping with this year's attitude about someone, anyone, making a play!

Great to watch, and I can't wait to see it on the highlight reels!

Where would we be without Dan all year. He has performed exceptionally this entire season.

That was awesome. I can honestly say I have never seen anything like that in my life.

It can at least be the highlight photo at the top of the forum home page.

You'd be hard pressed to find anybody in the league who's done a better job as left guard, right guard, fullback and kick returner.
