WATCH: Ronnie Hickman Returns Interception To The House for a "Pick-6"

In this story:
The Browns offense got off to a scorching start but sputtered with an opportunity to punch the ball in after the Jets fumbled on a kickoff return.
The offense went for it on fourth and goal and was unable to convert for a touchdown giving the ball back to the Jets backed way up in the New York end.
After two good gains, the Jets moved the ball out to the 19-yard line where they would dial up a pass play, intended for Garrett Wilson.

Quarterback Trevor Siemian did a play action to his right and Wilson ran a post route right down the middle of the field. Ronnie Hickman read the play like a long-time veteran. He stayed in the post and when he recognized Wilson's route, he darted to the ball.
Hickman got there before Wilson and the ball hit him right between the 33 on his chest. From there he weaved his way through the guys trying to tackle him all the way into the end zone for six.
The Browns' defense is coming off of a great performance in Houston and has turned up the heat after allowing an opening 75-yard touchdown drive.
They have forced an interception and a punt in the first quarter and are speeding this game up on the backup quarterback, Siemian.
After one, the Browns defense has surrendered 54 passing yards and 44 rushing yards. High numbers, but most coming on the Jets' opening drive.
A win on Thursday and the Browns are in the playoffs. Hickman is doing his part to make that come true.
