Here are the 10 best highlights we saw from Week 4 action. Which was your favorite.
The NFL regular season is already flying by, but the highlight plays keep coming and coming. This week, we saw some fantastic games with even better plays. They say the ratings are down this season and people are missing out. Every week seems to be getting better.
Here are the best highlights we saw in Week 4.
10. Mariota shows off the wheels
Marcus Mariota is one of the most exciting young quarterbacks in the NFL and his ability to beat defenders on the run is a big reason why. Mariotaās dual threat ability is one thatās hard to find in todayās NFL. He showed off the wheels today running in this 34-yard touchdown early in the second quarter against the Texans. It was one of Mariotaās two touchdowns on the ground today.
Unfortunately, those two touchdowns were the only points the Titans could muster up on the day. DeShaun Watson and the Texans absolutely dominated the game, putting up 57 points in convincing fashion. A Titans team that came off an impressive win over the Seahawks got trounced the entire game. But not all is lost, especially when youāve got Mariota under center.
9. Tevin Coleman with the hands
A lot of the Falconās offensive success comes through running back Devonta Freeman, but donāt forget about Tevin Coleman. The third-year back isnāt the fierce downhill runner Freeman is, but heās a shifty back thatās a threat in the receiving game. Heās got hands like a wide receiver and those were on display with this impressive catch.
Matt Ryan found Coleman on a wheel route as the running back reached out and held on to the ball. It was great coverage by linebacker Lorenzo Alexander, but better offense won in this case. You can see Bills coach Sean McDermott waving his hands for the incomplete pass and even he couldnāt believe that Coleman held on to the ball.
The Falcons werenāt able to come away with the win at home, but the one-two combination of Freeman and Coleman is a dangerous one.
