Cincinnati Bengals safety Taylor Mays chose a great time to record his first NFL sack.

With a “Monday Night Football” audience watching, the former USC star sacked Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning on third down with less than seven minutes left.

The Bengals defeated the Broncos, 37-28, to earn a playoff spot.

Mays, a fifth-year pro, had two tackles.

Former USC linebacker Rey Maualuga had 10.

The Bengals play the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night for the AFC North title.
