Tipped balls. Funny bounces. Sometimes keeping a play alive requires that extra amount of concentration. Here are ten such plays from the 2007 season.
In his pro debut,
Vikings RB
Adrian Peterson take a swing pass, bobbles it for dramatic effect, then gallops 60 yards for a Week 1 TD vs. Atlanta.
Panthers WR Steve Smith maintains concentration and winds up with a Week 2 TD as the ball caroms off a Texans defender and into the air.
Part football folly, part circus act, part lesson in effort: Carolina's
Richard Marshall tips the ball to teammate Deke Cooper to seal a Week 6 win.
Titans WR Justin Gage's follow-the-bouncing-ball touchdown catch was one of two wonderfully wild plays of that nature in the end zone in Week 10.
That's what you'll be saying when you see
Broncos TE
Tony Scheffler's sensational touchdown grab against the
Bears in Week 12.
Ravens WR Derrick Mason tips the ball several times into the air and then comes down with an acrobatic first-down catch in Week 12.
Talk about your lucky bounces. Arizona's Jerheme Urban catches a ricochet off of his own shoulder pad for a must-see 2-yard touchdown in Week 14.
