ALAMEDA – Tight end Martellus Bennett had become an annoyingly frequent target in Sunday’s game at Chicago. Raiders veteran safety understood that fact as he sat back in pass coverage late in the fourth quarter, creating just enough space to make Bennett seem open.
Quarterback Jay Cutler took the bait. Woodson sprung to action when ball took flight, intercepting the pass could’ve become a touchdown.
It was a perfect setup and execution, with veteran’s savvy and young man’s athleticism. That’s what makes Woodson the player he’s become. His talent has never been question during a Hall of Fame career.
