Move over Barry Allen; the Dallas Cowboys have the real Flash

In this story:
The Dallas Cowboys are on cloud nine after their triumphant 34-26 victory over the Washington Commanders. The fourth quarter was chaos, as both teams combined to score 41 points. But it was a play made by Cowboys special teams star KaVontae Turpin that really sealed the deal for the team.
Turpin's 99-yard kick return touchdown ripped the heart out of every Commanders fan in that terrible stadium known as Northwest Stadium. According to Next Gen Stats, Turpin showed off unbelievable speed that would make even The Flash blush.
KaVontae Turpin reached a top speed of 21.35 mph on his 99-yard kick return touchdown, the 3rd-fastest top speed on a kick off return this season.
