Ranking the order of Week's 16 Top 10 "Performance Moments of the Week" presented by Bridgestone wasn't an easy task. Well, maybe just plays No. 2 through No. 10.
The No. 1 moment was a no-brainer. Nothing was going to top Marshawn Lynch's Beastquake 2.0.
The Seahawks' running back's 79-yard touchdown run against the Cardinals on Sunday night started with a Barry Sanders-esque shake-and-bake move to get through Arizona's front line, which had eight players in the box. Lynch then cuts to the right for a big gain before meeting Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson at the 50-yard line. The play should have been over, but Peterson foolishly attempts to knock the ball out instead of wrapping up the 215-pound bruiser. Lynch breaks loose again to win a foot race to end zone and creating a Skittles rainbow in the process.
Daren Bates' field goal block leaped into the No. 2 play this week. Resembling an Olympic triple jumper, the Rams' linebacker vaulted over Giants long snapper Zak DeOssie to block kicker Josh Brown's 29-yard field goal attempt. That was one of many memorable moments between the non-playoff teams, including Odell Beckham's 80-yard receiving touchdown, which was the No. 10 play.
Long runs by Niners quarterback Colin Kaepernick and Bengals running back Jeremy Hill are No. 3 and 4, respectively, on the list. Dez Bryant's spectacular catch against the Colts rounded out the top five.
