“I was actually trying to get the ball out,” Russell said of his come-from-behind tackle of Chicago Bears’ defensive back I wanted to get the ball to get the two-for-one special, make the tackle and get the ball out. But I kind of timed it wrong. I was coached up by Jackrabbit (Janoris Jenkins) and (Alec) Ogletree. Next time, hopefully I’m not in the position, but I’ll know how to handle it better.”
Russell, from the back of the end zone, closed about 15 yards of space on Duck in a 75-80-yard sprint after the defensive back had intercepted Giants’ quarterback Alex Tanney near the Chicago goal line.
