November 30, 2008: #Ravens @ #Bengals

The #Ravens used some trickery to extend their lead, running an end around with receiver Mark Clayton on 2nd & 3. Clayton then lunged the ball downfield to a wide-open Derrick Mason in the end zone, who hauled in the pass for a touchdown.

The touchdown put the #Ravens up 20-3 with 8:12 left in the third quarter.

Clayton also had a monster game as a receiver, catching five passes for a career-high 164 yards and scoring a 70-yard touchdown on the next drive following his touchdown pass.

It marked his seventh career 100-yard receiving game.

On Aug. 27, 1982, Rickey Henderson broke Lou Brock’s mark of 118 steals in a season by swiping second base in the third inning of the #Athletics' 5-4 loss to the #Brewers in Milwaukee.

[KnowItAllSports @SKIAOffical]

He set the new mark in style -- the record-breaking steal was the first of four Henderson would have on the night en route to 130 for the season. It also came on a #Brewers pitch-out; they couldn't catch him no matter what they tried that night.
