The Most Athletic NFL Plays

It's a second down and three. Jackson takes it himself. Look at him dart back and forth. Oh, he broke his ankles. Now he's got an entourage, and he's got a touchdown. He is Houdini. What a play. Barbara Hill pitches back to Dickerson. A lone setback, and he cuts back. Got some good yardage. Dickerson can run. Eric Dickerson still going. Dickerson will go. Inside handoff to Taylor. Away from Menzie, down the sideline. One last shot at him. He dances in. Touchdown. They give it to LeGarrette Blount, and he breaks into the secondary leap. Frogs a defender. And it's all the way down to the eight-yard line. He leaped right over Loyer Malloy. Tremendous player. Now they fake to him, and Grinnell, with his good mobility, he's heading in, and Grinnell over the top. He about broke more than the plane there. Castle gets time. Throws to the end zone. Oh, what a grab! What a grab by Bonke for a touchdown! Are you kidding me? Two wide receivers to his left. He's looking to his right. That's Jones in the end zone. What a grab by Jones! And the adjustment made by Jones is tremendous. Look at that. That's just beautiful to watch. A bird and goal cutlet. They chase. And has some room. How about that? McNair on a called run. Turns it wide. Heading to the end zone. Up over the top. He's in! McNair with his second rushing touchdown. He's the running back. Play action. And Manning's going to heed. One is... Oh, there's a flag. Beckham, a one-handed catch. How in the world? Oh, my goodness. Insane. How do you make that catch? That may be the greatest catch I've ever seen. Bird and six for Philadelphia. Hurts. Has time. Now locates Barkley out of the backfield. Barkley slips two tackles and picks up the first down. Jumping up in the air to a gain of 14 for Barkley. Out of moves right here. Makes the first guy miss. The spin move at the last second. It didn't... What? Kiki, you're... What is that? Bro. We got to see this again. This kid is special, man. Just... He didn't even think to do that. Out of seven. Beckham's eighth reception. Now Barkley up the middle. Cuts to the outside. Saquon Barkley across midfield. Down the sideline. Stayed in bounds. He takes it all the way. And a pass. And a one-handed grab as Landry... This is the ball game for the Browns, and they give it to veteran Lewis. He's... Down to the 25, the 20, the 15, 10. Lewis, will that be denied? Touchdown. Here come the Blitzers. Vince Young on the run. Vince Young inside the 30. Off he goes. Vince Young inside the 20, the 10. It is over. Vince Young has done it again. It's in. Hand off. It's Pryor. Lot of real estate to the 30. Pryor is off and running. Inside Steeler's territory. 20, 10, and Pryor is in. And this drive alone. And they're going to go to the hot hand. LeGarrette Blumberg. Touchdown. On first down, another fake. Cousins going for it all. Deep, far sideline. What a catch. Catch. Pulling it in. He's hitting in bounds and hitting the pylon. That's a touchdown. So now Lamar Miller able to get out of the hole. Mindy, seven yards of glory. Sanders found the hole. He turns him completely around. In the round, here comes Jamison. Jamison hurdles. Wow, what a move. Right over Byard. This was incredible. Watch this. I got him. I got him. No, you don't. I mean, that's not just a hurdle. That's a high hurdle. That was really high hurdles. Shows that athleticism. Skelton will throw. Fires to the right. And a diving catch by Larry Fitzgerald at the 24-yard line. Just offside, but the Packers got back on. No way. Huge turnaround in this first quarter. Little pitch play in the round. This is Darius Hayward-Bey breaking free. Still going. 15. He's in. In the game, I think, for the first time for Philadelphia, but they give to McCoy. Big hole. And a move. Touchdown. A 40-yard jaunt for McCoy. And down the line, handoff. Barry spins away from one tackle. Cuts back to the left side. He's to the 20. He's to the 15, 10. He's to the 5. Barry Sanders, a spectacular touchdown run. Carson, the running back. And Carson leaps over a defender. Gets a first down. Looks like a hurdler. Look at that. From the 5. Give to McCaffrey. Trying to get around the right side. He does. McCaffrey leaps. It's touchdown. Fake the handoff. Jackson throws. Oh, what a grab. Touchdown, Mark Andrews. Following the 4th-and-1 stuff, Dolphin soaked his drive at the 3-yard line. And Lamar Miller off to the races. Miller at mid. Chased by Williams. Miller at the 10. Collins to the back of the end zone. Curry. Touchdown. What an unbelievable play. We talked about the athletic ability. This is as good a catch as you'll ever see. Throwing a deep ball. Looking for a free play. Oh, spectacular catch. DeAndre Hopkins. On first down, a double reverse as Reggie Bush gets it. Picks his way and leaps for the touchdown. Already two touchdowns for Brown. And they give it to him again. Oh, he fumbles the ball, and luck is there. But they're in command of the game because of their unbelievable running. Here's Curry going again. Yeah, it just became a historic day in the National Football League. All-time record for a one-day performance. He just passed Walter Payton. Dual tight end look, and it's Jamal Lewis. Got an opening. I'd say he's going to get his touches. After one, he has six. But Jamal has given his all. A single-game NFL rushing record. Randall Cunningham looking and throwing. Caught. Touchdown by Chris Carter. What a catch by Chris Carter. I didn't think he had a chance. That is a heck of a catch. On first down, back to Adrian Peterson in the ground game. Cuts inside a block. Inside the 40, up the sideline, and he's gone. The greatest rushing performance in the history of the National Football League. It's on the 43 of the Bears. Here's Warwick Dunn trying to leap outside. Warwick Dunn still on his feet, and he's going to score. This is just all work done because of his ability to keep his feet. This is Charles, left side, running move. On his way up the sideline. Key of defense. He's got some room. He's going to try to dive for it. He gets there. Oh, what a bonanza. Bucket giving to Allen, sending him wide left. He has to reverse his field, but he gets away for a moment. Comes back up the middle of 30, 25, 40. Breaks past two minutes of 50, down to the 40. Picking up a blocker to the 20, to the 10, to the 5. Touchdown. Buffalo ahead of Miami in the east, and now the Raiders, can they stay with Kansas City and can Denver stay with Bo Jackson? The answer is no. For the rest of the day, and you're going to see Parker past Willie Parker, and past Willie Parker has just gone 75 yards. Draw Gore. He should have some room. And Gore is going to get the first down and still going. Frank Gore will score. Henry. Races. They may not catch him. They won't catch him. Touchdown. Aikman handoff. Smith coming right. Trying to outrun the coverage. Makes a cut. Gets it. Oh, he's still going. He's going to score. He's got the five. It's a touchdown. Emmitt Smith, and it's absolutely ridiculous. It should never have happened, but Emmitt Smith does the impossible, this time from 29 yards out. Wade Wilson sprints back to throw, and he's going to throw a long bomb, and a one-handed grab. Paul Carter. Touchdown. The Vikings score. On second and eight. Campbell outruns everyone to the right. Look out. He's gone. 10, Kamara in the backfield, and Kamara with the give. You can see the speed as he hurls a man down to the two-yard line. Jumps right over Darius Sledge. Near the interception on the end zone by McDougal. And now Seattle with Carson. Oh, my goodness. He landed on his feet. It was insane. And now they're looking to keep his little Panther butt off the field. As Slash Stewart looking to run, and he's on the roll. Slash Stewart across the field into open field. Look at this man go. Kyle Stewart on the run. It's a foot race, and he's going to win it to the end zone. They pick it up, and Batch has time. On the move now. Pitch, Johnson trying to get him to the outside. Johnson doubles back the other way. Chris Johnson has some room to work with. Good block by Young on the near side, and Johnson able to turn it upfield. Coming in six. Kirby with walkers. That's a five-yard jump. 15 now, 21. Turning hand to Lynch. He stutter steps. Breaks through the line, makes a man miss. Cuts back outside right 30, 35, 40, down the far sidelines. Pushes a defender. Keeps fighting. He's still moving. He's going to go. Down to the 20, the 15. They're chasing at 10. He dives in. Are you kidding me? Touchdown Seahawks. Holy catfish. 79 yards, and that made Beastquake look like a walk in the park. Wilson under center. He's going to hand it off to Lynch. He looks for some running room. He breaks free across the 10, 15. Cuts outside, 20. Chased from behind. Knocked. Still on his feet, 30, 35. Still going, 40. That was all Marshawn Lynch for 42 tough yards. Kaepernick to throw it, or will he? Kaepernick long strides. Kaepernick with a flag down. Stutter step move. Kaepernick breaking to the clear. It's a foot race, and nobody will catch Colin Kaepernick. Obviously, everything so far good for Fields for the first three weeks, but how does he react now with his team down 17 to nothing? Sidearm delivery here gets it out to the tight end. This is Darnell Washington breaking free. Washington, and look at the big fella leapfrogging the defender. That is a large, extra jumbo-sized man running down the field, 6'7", 270 pounds, and that was a heck of a job by Justin Fields to get that ball out of his hand. Cuts up field. Hurdles over a couple of people. He hit Steve Brown with what looked like a karate kick. Payton. What a play. He really got up and over. Payton again. Spin by high. Kaepernick leads the way. Touchdown, 49. Penetration, boom, and then the spin move. Terry Allen gets the call. Down inside. Touchdown. Went right over Trey Sullivan. Davis. Receiver for the Lions, and here is Barry Sanders. What a juke up the middle, and Barry Sanders into Tampa Bay territory. Sanders at the 10. He'll score. John Lynch, his jockstrap is laying sink still on about the 20-yard line. Second down and one. Hand off to Forte. Forte picks up another first down and more. He is inside the 10, and will take it in for a Bears touchdown, 32 yards. That's the whole package right there. Even with a big lead, Marshall Falk finds the hole. Spins. Still going. There goes Marshall Falk. Trying to outrun everybody. Hudson drags him down at the 31. Marshall Falk brings him out of their seats. Napoleon Kaufman is in the backfield. He takes the handoff. Into the clear. What moves by Kaufman all the way to the... Newton bends low. Takes the snap. Short drop. Hits the quarterback. Somersault for the touchdown. Crowd silent now, as opposed to when the Saints had the ball. Oh, look at this run. Marshawn Lynch still on his feet. Has blockers now. He's getting his way. That's as good an effort as I've ever seen in my life from a running back. Get off me, he says to Tracy Porter. Are you kidding me? What a run. An amazing effort by Marshawn Lynch.
