Chad Johnson's teammates kneeled in prayer. The Cincinnati Bengals receiver writhed delicately on the cold Ralph Wilson Stadium turf. He was in too much pain to thrash.
His problem? He made a mistake. He made himself vulnerable in Donte Whitner's neighborhood.
Johnson, arms out, dove for a sinking pass in the closing minutes of a Nov. 4, 2007 loss to the Buffalo Bills. A torpedo screamed for Johnson's ribcage. Whitner, the Bills' bone-jolting strong safety, blasted him.
Emerging AFC Stars
• Broncos QB Jay Cutler
• Titans CB Cortland Finnegan
• Steelers WR Santonio Holmes
• Bills safety Donte Whitner
You can't spell "detonate" without the D, O, N, T or E.
