No. 9: Jordan Reed 2nd Half Performance vs Cowboys
At No. 9, Jordan Reed’s 2nd-half performance vs the Cowboys is solidified. Early in the game, Reed suffered what at the time was an “Undisclosed Shoulder Injury”. Before Halftime, you could see Reed on the sideline wearing a sling, and all but shut down for the rest of the game.
However, at the beginning of the 2nd half, Reed was back on the field, and made an immediate impact. He made a magnificent one-handed catch on the sideline to signal he was back. He then caught not one, but two touchdowns, the second being a great grab out of the air.
He finished with 10 catches for 95 yards and two scores, after having just 2 catches for 10 yards in the first half before his injury.
It would come out later that Reed was in excruciating pain during halftime and the duration of the 2nd half. Unfortunately, the Redskins still lost, but that type of fight and toughness is what gets Reed a spot on this list.
