Back in Week 10, when the Bengals were down by a minuscule 29 points to the Pittsburgh Steelers, Bengals special teams coordinator Darrin Simmons dug into his bag of tricks and green-lit a direct snap to Shawn Williams on a fourth-and-13 at their own 34-yard line. Williams went on to scamper for 39 yards and it ended up being the second-longest play of the day for the Bengals.
Two weeks later, Simmons and Williams did it again.
The Bengals faked a punt against the Giants as Williams took another direct snap around the right edge, this time for just seven yards, but still managed to get the all-important first down.
