Bengals receiver Jerome Simpson may have scored the touchdown of the season on Sunday.
In a play that will be shown on highlight reels for years to come, Simpson leaped over Cardinals defender Daryl Washington, completed a full flip, and stuck his landing in the end zone. Here’s a clip of the play.
That score put the Bengals up 17-0. They extended the lead to 20-0 by halftime.
The Bengals defense from the early part of the year showed up for this game. They have three sacks and two interceptions in the first half.
Cincinnati has been one of the most surprising stories of the season. Barring the most insane Cardinals comeback yet, it looks like they’ll enter Week 17 very much alive for a playoff berth.

That was amazing
God I love this game!!!
That was insane!!
Remember when everyone was criticizing him for that over-the-top flop in the Browns game?
He was clearly just practicing for this.
He got so much air on that play.You never see a player do a front flip without landing on their head or back.
It’s blacked out over here in cinci….Just seen the clip….AMAZING!
Most athletic play I have seen since the Randall Cunningham days. How many people on the planet can do something like that, at game speed? Just an amazing feat, probably touchdown of the year.
Wow
wow. he jumped so far forward and was still able to do a flip.
best play i have ever seen.
The only thing better than this play is getting busted receiving 2 lbs of pot in the mail, having 6 more lbs in your house along with the scales to measure it out and not getting in any trouble!
Wisdom to be expected from someone named “cletus.”
