Best Send-Off
Michael Pierce‘s final regular-season game in January proved to be unforgettable.
He recorded a late interception of Browns quarterback Bailey Zappe to help ice a blowout win and AFC North title.
It was his first career interception and at 355 pounds, Pierce became the biggest man to record a pick since at least 2000.
Pierce took a quick knee after the pick, acknowledging “the bus was out of gas.” He wasn’t kidding. He announced his retirement in March.
