Congratulations

To Columbus East's own Stevie Brown for his interception last night.

After the New York Giants had scored another touchdown in the fourth quarter to extend their lead over the Carolina Panthers to 33-7, Cam Newton passed his Panthers down the field into the red zone.  Safety Anrel Rolle successfully defended against a Newton pass attempt in the end zone and was injured after colliding with a sideline cameraman (or woman).

So Stevie Brown took his place for Carolina's 3rd and goal play.  As Newton dropped back to pass, Brown watched him from the goal line.  Seeing that the Carolina quarterback's eyes were locked in on his receiver running a slant or post on the right side toward Brown, the reserve safety cut in front of the receiver and grabbed Newton's pass.  Stevie returned the interception down the sideline for a 44-yard return, then jumped up and celebrated, grinning ear-to-ear.

Congratulations, Stevie, on your first career interception!  It's been a challenging career, being cut by the Raiders and Colts before landing on the Giants' roster this season.
