Well that was a fun Sunday of NFL action, wasn’t it?
We saw the Atlanta Falcons score a wild, game-winning touchdown in the final seconds in San Francisco which totally threw the top of the NFC playoff standings for a loop.
We saw the Dallas Cowboys come out and play some pretty inspired football for their coach, Jason Garrett, in a big win over the Los Angeles Rams at home. Oh, and Dak Prescott wasn’t at fault for that coin-flip fiasco. That was on ref Walt Anderson. Thankfully it got fixed.
And we saw the impossible-to-figure-out Texans get a big road win in Tennessee that puts them atop the AFC South.
Let’s have some fun and take a look back at the good, the bad, and the hilarious from Sunday.
Best TD celebration by a running back: This one by Ezekiel Elliott.

Imagine being that little kid? Front row seat to see your favorite team and then the star player gives you a fist bump AND the ball? Not a bad day.
Most meaningful TD by a WR: This one by Philly’s Greg Ward.
Greg Ward couldn't hold back the emotions after catching the go-ahead TD. His journey has been awesome:
🔸QB at Houston in 2016
🔸Cut in training camp 3 years in a row
🔸Played in the AAF
🔸7 catches and his first career TD todaypic.twitter.com/JznyCuqXbr— The Checkdown (@thecheckdown) December 15, 2019
The Eagles’ injury woes at WR led to a pretty cool moment on Sunday when Ward hauled in the game-winning TD in the final minute.
Person who had the most fun blocking a defender into the ground: George Kittle.
George Kittle is a mad man 💀

That block was something else, but Kittle’s reaction at the end of it was even better. Mad man, indeed.
The most Raiders ending to their time in Oakland: This one.

The Raiders played their last game in Oakland on Sunday and things did not go well, as they lost to the Jaguars in the final minute and then their QB got booed off the field. Awkward.
Most touching moment for a veteran QB who has won 2 Super Bowls and has a famous brother: Eli Manning.

Pretty awesome moment there as Eli was pulled from the game in the final minutes so the fans could send him off with that ovation.
The most sad stat about the Cleveland Browns: This one.
The Browns fall to 6-8 after their loss to the Cardinals.

Not a great decade for the Browns.
Most vicious hit suffered by a star WR: This one on OBJ.

Odell Beckham Jr.’s time in Cleveland just keeps getting worse.
Worst pass by a punter/holder: Dustin Colquitt.

“Colquitt has to throw it… to nobody,” is one of the best calls of the year.
The perfect onside kick that sums up the Bengals’ terrible year: This one.

I mean, doesn’t that just beautifully sum of the Bengals or what?
