10. Brandon Carr solo tip drill

It was a defensive battle between the Baltimore Ravens and Minnesota Vikings through four quarters. The Ravens didn’t have much to cheer about, but cornerback Brandon Carr did come away with a fantastic interception. On Case Keenum’s first throw of the game, Carr shadowed Laqu0n Treadwell perfectly and tipped the ball to himself for the interception. Usually we see two players in the tip drill, but Carr did it all by himself.

The Ravens offense has been virtually non-existent this season and the defense has had to carry all of the weight. Even then, it’s been too much given all of the injuries. It’s a lost cause for the purple and black, but at least they have this interception to go along with it.

9. DeSean Jackson… how?

From one tip drill to another, we then saw it on the the other side of the ball. Matched up in a tight game with the Bills late in the first quarter, Bucs receiver DeSean Jackson came away with this incredible catch. On a second and six throw by Jameis Winston, Jackson muscled the ball away from cornerback E.J. Gaines for the catch.

A play that could’ve been an interception going the other way was saved by Jackson. He was the Bucs big offseason addition, but has yet to really breakout and have some big games. The Bucs are a middle of the pack team this season and will need Jackson’s contributions if they want a shot at a playoff spot this season.
