AJ Green Hauls in Hail Mary
The Bengals wide receiver is having another fantastic year, and he just added a play to his career highlight reel. With no time left before the half ends, Green somehow, someway grabs the ball out of the air with five defenders all over them. He’s one of the best receivers in the game for a reason.

He was not going to be denied a pick six. The Giants safety not only made a nice pick but then preceded to create one of the most electric interception returns you will see. I’m no special teams coach, but I’d let Collins return a punt or two.
Game Winner in Detroit
It always seems the Lions are on the wrong side of these plays. But not this Sunday. Kirk Cousins ran in what everyone thought would be the winning score, but Stafford drove his team down the field before winning it with a great throw to the veteran Boldin.
