Sports playAbout
Ed Reed's record-breaking interception return occurred during a game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Philadelphia Eagles in 2008. Reed, a safety for the Ravens, intercepted a pass from Eagles quarterback Kevin Kolb and returned it for a touchdown. Initially reported as a 108-yard return, it was later adjusted to 107 yards by the Elias Sports Bureau[1][2]. This play broke Reed's own previous record of 106 yards, set in 2004[3]. The interception happened midway through the fourth quarter with the Ravens leading 22-7. Reed picked off the pass intended for Reggie Brown in the end zone and sprinted down the sideline, avoiding tackles along the way. His return showcased his exceptional speed and agility, as he outran several Eagles players to score the touchdown[3]. This play remains one of the most memorable in NFL history, highlighting Reed's defensive prowess and his ability to change the momentum of a game.
