Without question the most entertaining play former Gamecock D.J. Swearinger made for the Washington Redskins this week didn’t show up on the stat sheet at all.
Early in the fourth quarter, Swearinger’s Redskins led the Seattle Seahawks 10-2 when quarterback Russell Wilson marched his team down the field to score and make things 10-8. Trying to tie the game, the Seahawks attempted a 2-point conversion.
But Swearinger intercepted Wilson’s pass on the attempt and immediately found room to return the ball. If he was able to take it all the way to the other end zone, the Redskins would score two points and extend their surprising lead over the Seahawks.
