Reed Selected As AFC Defensive Player of Week 12

Dec/01/08 08:00 PM Filed in: Ed Reed
Reed earned defensive honors by helping Baltimore flatten the visiting Philadelphia Eagles 36-7, as the former Miami Hurricane registered two tackles, two passes defensed and equaled a career-best with a pair of interceptions. In the fourth quarter, Reed picked off Eagle QB Kevin Kolb in the end zone and raced 108 yards for the longest interception return in league history. He set the previous mark with a 106-yard return against the Cleveland Browns four years ago. A seven-year pro, Reed has now won this award three times.

Reed's record-breaking interception return in Week 12 has been adjusted from 108 yards to 107.

It still qualifies as the longest pick six of all time (Reed broke his own record, originally set in 2004). Reed's jersey was sent to the Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. His two picks against Philly gave Reed three on the season.
