Top 5 Must-See Plays from Week 12 in the NFL (Video)

Did you miss any of the Week 12 action in the NFL? We’ve got you covered. Here are five plays you shouldn’t miss.

Tennessee tip drill

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota is shorthanded at receiver, so what does he do? Look for his tight ends. Watch as Mariota hits Craig Stevens, who earns his reputation as a sure-handed receiver, for a touchdown that he had to tip to himself before hauling in the first touchdown of the game against the Oakland Raiders .

Arm Barr

The Minnesota Vikings are trying to forge one of the league’s better defenses, and for the most party they have, allowing more than 23 points only once all season. The Vikings slowed down the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, allowing only 5.7 yards per play and forcing three turnovers. One of them came against Falcons running back Tevin Coleman via this tremendous poke of the ball from behind by Vikings linebacker Anthony Barr, who talked to Yahoo Sports Radio after the game about how the defense has improved this season.

Serve, volley, set, pick

Washington Redskins cornerback Will Blackmon and New York Giants wide receiver Dwayne Harris broke out a little volleyball in the middle of a football game. Blackmon was covering Harris and appeared set to pick off Eli Manning’s pass in his direction. But it tipped off his hands, then off the hands of Harris, who was hit by Redskins safety Kyshoen Jarrett … with the ball ending up back into the hands of Blackmon, the former Giant. Try to keep track of the ball.

Anyone want to tackle him?

Granted, it was a 28-7 New York Jets lead over the Miami Dolphins and the Jets were trying to grind out the clock with less than 10 minutes remaining in the game. But could the Dolphins have had worse tackling form on Chris Ivory? Check out the effort from Ivory — and the lack of Dolphins execution — as he bounces through about half the defense to score the game-sealing touchdown.

Price of admission

Martavis Bryant scored a touchdown. But it cost him. The Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver took a reverse around the edge and got into the end zone against the Seattle Seahawks, but not without a pretty big cost. Watch as Seahawks safety Kam Chancellor absolutely lays Bryant out, although he does hang onto the ball. This is a must-see play for both the offensive result and the defensive hit.
