I haven’t seen most of these plays in highlight videos on YouTube, so I thought I’d bring them to your attention. Some plays are underrated for reasons outside of a pure display of talent…

• Badgley’s clutch kick to even the scores with 15 seconds left: https://youtu.be/NHaKPISxSJs?t=2113, then McManus wins it 15 seconds later: https://youtu.be/NHaKPISxSJs?t=2164

• Ndamukong Suh completely steamrolls a Titans lineman: https://youtu.be/X9Xfxdxweps?t=1567

• Cam Fleming holds back two rushers while filling in for Tyron Smith at left tackle: https://youtu.be/Yh29RACHBis?t=471

• This is a genuinely great off-balance throw by receiver Emmanuel Sanders.

• Absolutely filthy stutter move by Jack Doyle.
• Texans coach Bill O’Brien gets clocked in the face by an assistant.
• Will Lutz 58 yarder for the win. Celebrates before he even sees it go through!
