The Top 3 Plays Of Logan Wilson’s Career

Logan Wilson has retired at just 29 years old.

Though he finished his NFL career on the Dallas Cowboys, he will always be remembered as a Cincinnati Bengal.

The linebacker out of Wyoming was part of a defensive transformation under Lou Anarumo that saw the Bengals make the Super Bowl in the 2021-22 season. He and Jessie Bates made countless big plays to keep Cincinnati in games, and for that, he will never be forgotten.

The official Bengals site posted a video of Wilson’s best plays of his career. You can watch it here.

Perhaps the top three of all those great plays are the following:

3. Intercepting Ben Roethlisberger twice

Early in that magical 2021 season, Wilson helped the Bengals suffocate the Pittsburgh Steelers by making an acrobatic pick on a tipped pass by the Pittsburgh QB in the first quarter.

Then, in the third quarter, Wilson intercepted Roethlisberger again on third down with the Steelers driving and only down 10 points. The Bengals would win 24-10.

2. The Fumble in the Jungle

Yes, it was Sam Hubbard who returned Tyler Huntley’s fumble 98 yards in a crucial play that helped the Bengals defeat the Baltimore Ravens in the 2022 Wildcard round.

But it was Wilson who first got his hands on the QB’s left arm, apparently trying to keep him from crossing the goal line but also knocking his arm back enough for Germaine Pratt to then hit it completely loose.

Hubbard would pick it up and make the play of his life.

1. The clutch pick in the AFC Divisional Round

The Bengals snuck by the #1 seed in the AFC, the Tennessee Titans, on the road in no small part thanks to Wilson.

With just 20 seconds left and the score tied, he picked off Ryan Tannehill, setting up Joe Burrow’s game-winning drive that would send Cincinnati to Kansas City for the AFC Conference Championship.
