Most of the game was pretty uneventful, but it was a close game in the fourth quarter, so it was worth watching.
This is probably the best touchdown run so far this year.
In the Thursday night game this week, the Dolphins played the Bengals.
With 13 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Bengals had the ball on the Dolphins 35 yard line. They handed it off to RB Giovani Bernard.
This is where it gets interesting. Bernard gets the ball and starts off running to the right. He then gets decked by 2 Dolphins, but he somehow stays on his feet, leaving the Dolphins players lying on the ground. He then circles around, runs back 10 yards, runs across the field, and makes a break along the opposite sideline. This decision gives some success, and he gets 10 yards forward until he meets another obstacle. He cuts to the middle to avoid 2 diving Dolphins, and then has a clear path to the end zone, and flips in for a touchdown.
Even though Bernard only ran 35 yards forward, he ran a total of 105 yards including sideways and backwards running.
The Touchdown gave the Bengals a 3 point lead, but the Dolphins were able to hit a field goal with 10 seconds left to tie the game.
In overtime, the Dolphins were able to sack Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton in the end zone for a game winning safety.Cincinnati

Even though his team lots, I think the game was probably worth it for Giovani Bernard.
