5. Bradley Roby vs. Chiefs, Week 2
Bradley Roby displays great awareness during the final minute of the game, never losing sight of the ball after Brandon Marshall forces a Jamaal Charles fumble. After the ball is jarred free, Roby locates the ball amid a pile of bodies and sprints towards the end zone. Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith tries to tackle Roby, but the Broncos cornerback dangles past him with ease, going untouched to secure a 31-24 victory.
4. Sam Bradford vs. Cowboys, Week 9
Sam Bradford was at his best during a divisional clash against the Cowboys, delivering a picturesque strike in overtime. Bradford fakes the handoff, then fires an exacting pass into the arms of Jordan Matthews. Matthews loops around Cowboys safety J.J. Wilcox, who takes a horrendous route to the ball and scampers to the end zone with relative ease, giving the Eagles a 33-27 win.
3. C.J. Anderson vs. Patriots, Week 12
C.J. Anderson steered the Broncos to a triumphant victory over the Patriots, on one of the best runs of the season. Anderson receives a toss from Brock Osweiler and plants to the outside, evading a host of defenders while following his blocks. The Broncos' running back is left with a lone defender to beat, and darts around him with relative ease, providing his team with a crucial 30-24 win.
2. Will Hill vs. Browns, Week 12
Dubbed as the "Kick-Six", the Ravens' last-second touchdown to beat the Browns is one of the most stunning plays of the year. Ravens defensive lineman Brent Urban blocks the Browns' field goal attempt, and the ball swivels into Will Hill's path. Hill scoops the ball and immediately sprints upfield with his teammates quickly forming a wall to block out startled members of the Browns field goal unit. No one is able to catch Hill, and the Browns were left wondering what could've been.
1. Aaron Rodgers vs. Lions, Week 13
It doesn't get any better than this.
Trailing 23-21 with no time left on the clock, Aaron Rodgers dials up a play that will forever live in his extensive canon. Rodgers rolls out of the pocket to his right, avoiding two Lions pass rushers and signals for his receivers to go deep. Creating ample space for himself, Rodgers winds up and delivers a prayer downfield.
The ball remains suspended in the air for what seems like forever, with myriad Packers and Lions players alike looking to retrieve the ball. Packers tight end Richard Rodgers jumps to the forefront of the line and brings the ball down inside the end zone, giving the Packers a 27-23 victory.
