Top five must-see plays from Week 4 in the NFL (Video)
Did you miss any of the Week 4 action in the NFL? We’ve got you covered. Here are five plays you shouldn’t miss from Sunday’s games:
Three’s a Crowder
The Washington Redskins made some terrific catches in traffic in their comeback win over the Philadelphia Eagles. You might have seen the game-winning catch to Pierre Garcon in the final minute. But did you catch the grab Redskins rookie Jamison Crowder made amid three Eagles defenders? Watch as Kirk Cousins dials up the pass in a crowd.
Another rookie showcase
Eagles rookie Nelson Agholor was a standout at USC and a first-round pick, but his ascension has been a bit slow with the offense struggling in Philly. However, Sam Bradford showed he still can throw deep, and Agholor rewarded him with a terrific, one-handed grab for 45 yards. It’s a start, right?
ODB OMG
Nothing against the Crowder and Agholor catches, which were actual catches. But we want to spotlight what went down as an incompletion. Why? Because Odell Beckham Jr. was involved. Watch Beckham climb the ladder, do his Spiderman impression, make a grab that rivals his rookie-year gem and … who cares if he was out of bounds? This is insane.
Right place, right time
The 4-0 Carolina Panthers have not blown too many minds with their play, but they have been very opportunistic. Case in point: Jonathan Stewart fumbled Sunday at the end of a good run against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Stewart’s teammate, tight end Ed Dickson, just picked the ball up in stride and ran all the way to the end zone for an unlikely score. Hear Dickson on Yahoo Sports Radio as he describes this strange play.
Tyree-like INT
This time, the defensive back wins. David Tyree might have been the receiver who made the helmet catch with his Super Bowl beauty of yore, but St. Louis Rams cornerback Janoris Jenkins made an equally ridiculous grab on the other side of the ball in Sunday’s win over the Arizona Cardinals. Watch him pick Carson Palmer with a helmet grab that might not be repeated.
