FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Darrelle Revis did NFL Films and Versus a big favor Sunday night when he made the key play in the New York Jets' 27-24 victory over the Dallas Cowboys.
Revis wore a microphone for a new weekly show, "NFL Turning Point," that will be aired each Thursday night on Versus, beginning this week. Then he produced the turning point for his team with a last-minute interception to set up Nick Folk's 50-yard field goal.
The All-Pro cornerback said Wednesday it's the first time he has worn a microphone during a game, and his conversations with outspoken Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant were captured throughout the night.
Anatomy of a Play: Revis' big pick
Darrelle Revis didn't have an interception all last season, but he ended that streak Sunday night. Why did Tony Romo throw the pass? NFL Films goes in depth to provide the answer. **Read**
"Yeah, pretty cool. I'll tell you, though, there was some crazy stuff on that mic, man," Revis said. "It's the heat of the battle. He said words to me, and I'm saying words back to Dez."
Some of those words might need to be deleted from the show.
"The Jets' (public relations) staff said it would look into it before it got out there," Revis said about agreeing to wear the microphone. "It's X-rated. There was a lot of stuff going on, a lot of back and forth.
"That's real life. Whatever was said on there, that's what it was. It's in the heat of the moment, the heat of battle. That's what it was."
With the score tied at 24, the Cowboys had a chance for a winning drive with 59 seconds left, but Romo's sideline pass was picked off by Revis. He returned it 20 yards to the Dallas 34, then stood on the sideline gesturing at the crowd and shouting.
All of it audible.
"They said they were going to edit it, though -- I hope," Revis said.
