When Tyrique Stevenson stripped the football out of Cowboys running back Javontae Williams’ arms on the second play of the first Dallas offensive drive, it was the first time he had tried that particular method.
“That’s what’s crazy,” Stevenson told reporters on Monday. “It’s the first time I ever just was like – because I think about it all the time and we work (on the) peanut punch. I was just like, ‘I’m gonna just take it.’ I honestly was just like ‘I’m gonna take it’ and I just took it.”
And Stevenson quite literally took the football away from Williams after he gained 22 yards on the ground.
