Ryan Fitzpatrick
The situation: Fitzpatrick enters the game with 4:34 left in the second quarter, replacing the injured Geno Smith. The Jets are trailing the Ravens 13­7. His play: In his first series, Fitzpatrick leads the offense on a seven­play, 85­yard touchdown drive ­­ one of the Jets' best scoring drives in a month. He completes 4 of 4 passes for 42 yards, including a well­executed middle screen to Matt Forte for a 13­yard touchdown. 

Adam Vinatieri

Colts vs. Titans  Record breaking

The situation: Fourth­and­13 from Tennessee's 15­yard line, the Colts leading 17­13 with 3:46 remaining in the third quarter. The play:Vinatieri bolsters his case as the greatest kicker in NFL history with another remarkable highlight, connecting on a 33­yarder for his 43rd straight made field goal. That breaks Mike Vanderjagt's record of 42 straight set during the 2002­2004 seasons.

A.J. Green

Bengals vs. Browns  Hail Mary!

The situation: Third­and­9 on the Bengals' 48­yard line, Bengals lead the Browns 14­10 with 0:07 left in the first half. The play: Turns out all that juggling practice pays off. Former high school juggler Green reminds everyone why he's an All­Pro receiver when he catches a 48­yard Hail Mary pass from Andy Dalton to get the Bengals a touchdown, and a 21­10 lead, at the end of the first half. Green juggles the ball in the air with defenders draped all over him and pulls it into his body with both hands to secure the catch.

Damien Williams

Bills vs. Dolphins  Helpful push


 The situation: Second­and­8 from the Buffalo 12­yard line, with the Dolphins trailing 17­14 with 3:56 left in the fourth quarter of a division game. The play: Williams is in the game for a winded Jay Ajayi, who rushed for 214 yards on 29 carries. Williams runs left and is hit early by Bills defenders. But Williams' teammates Ja'Wuan James and Jarvis Landry carry and push Williams into the end zone for the go­ahead score

Josh Huff

Eagles vs. Vikings  Returning it all the way

The situation: Trailing 3­0 with 9:05 remaining in the second quarter, Huff awaits the kick following a 48­yard Blair Walsh field goal. The play: Huff fields it at the 2­yard line, finds a seam along the right side and bursts through en route to a 98­ yard touchdown, which he caps with a forward flip into the end zone.

Landon Collins

Giants vs. Rams  Tip drill


The situation: Second­and­5 from the Los Angeles 30­yard line with 7:31 remaining in the second quarter and the Giants trailing 10­3 and still looking to reach the end zone. The play: Rams quarterback Case Keenum fires a pass to an open Tavon Austin over the middle. The ball hits off Austin's shoulder pad and pops into the air, where Collins, Giants safety, catches it running backward. He circles around to the right, back to the left and breaks several tackles on his way to the end zone, where cornerback Janoris Jenkins pushes him in for the touchdown to even the score.
