description

One of the anchors of perhaps the most famous defense in the history of the NFL, legendary Bears defensive end Richard Dent found a way to turn defense into offense on this play in Chicago's matchup with the Cowboys. With Dallas pinned deep in their own territory, a teammate batted the ball high into the air after the quarterback released it, and Dent had to leave the end zone to reach out and bring the ball in for an interception before ducking back across the line for the first touchdown of his NFL career. Dent also added two sacks in this one, as the Bears dominated the Cowboys, 44-0, on Nov. 17, 1985.
