Reed breaks his own record:

The Baltimore Ravens were having their way with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2008. The Ravens picked Donavan McNabb off twice and Andy Reid benched him. Kevin Kolb didn’t do any better. Kolb tossed the ball into the end zone, and Ed Reed caught it. Reed returned it for a touchdown. It was a 107 yard interception return, which was one yard longer than the 2004 interception return. Reed had set the record for longest interception return twice.

The Ravens won 36-7. It was a special day in Baltimore, where nothing could go wrong. The fans got treated to another history making play by number 20. Reed made a lot of plays that could wow you, but having another interception return over 100 yards, that’s beyond incredible.
