Play of the Year in the Final Days of 2011

            Before last Saturday, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Jerome Simpson was infamously best known for police catching him receiving a two pound shipment of marijuana at his home, in addition to finding drug paraphernalia and another stash of marijuana inside. Simpson managed to avoid suspension and arrest, soon making the national spotlight for a much more comical reason. Against the Cleveland Browns in Week 12, at the end of a play, Browns linebacker Scott Fujita bumped into Simpson and Simpson jumped up in the air and fell on his back. The referees saw the Bengals wide receiver go flying down to the ground out of the corner of their eyes and threw a penalty flag without realizing what had actually happened.

            This weekend, Jerome Simpson managed to one-up all of his on and off the field antics with front flip over an Arizona Cardinals defender into the endzone, landing on both feet. The Bengals were on the Cardinals twenty yard line when Simpson ran across the field on a crossing route, Andy Dalton hit the wide-open receiver, and Simpson flipped over linebacker Daryl Washington, and almost stuck the landing perfectly.
