Dolphins' 315-pound Christian Wilkins opens scoring
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- What better way to start Week 16 than with a big-man offensive touchdown for the Miami Dolphins.
Christian Wilkins, a 315-pound rookie defensive lineman who considers his playing alter ego to be a white Power Ranger, morphed into a receiver on Sunday.
Wilkins caught the game's first touchdown off a play-action pass from Ryan Fitzpatrick on second-and-goal in the first quarter. After bringing in the catch with one hand, he fumbled it inside the 1-yard line while getting hit by a Bengals defender, then recovered it for a touchdown. It was officially ruled a touchdown catch for Wilkins and touchdown pass for Fitzpatrick (for you fantasy football fans).
