Best NFL highlights of Week 15: Patriots steal a win
By Joe Schiller
Here are the 10 best highlights from Week 15.
One of the best weeks of NFL football this season did not let us down. Highlighted by a number of great games, the highlights were just as plentiful. It was highlighted by Aaron Rodgers return and many other great plays we saw today.
Here are the 10 best highlights from Week 15.
10. Welcome back, Aaron Rodgers
Less than two months after suffering a broken collarbone, Aaron Rodgers is back. One of the best players in the game was finally back under center and picked up right where we left off. Rodgers found Davante Adams for the 13-yard touchdown in the first quarter against the Carolina Panthers. We didn’t expect anything less from No. 12 and he delivered.
Rodgers threw three touchdowns but had to shake off the rust, throwing three interceptions. It looked like he was going to be able to pull off some late-game magic but a fumble ended those dreams. Now the Packers are eliminated from the playoffs and sent packing. At the very least they have Rodgers back for a Super Bowl run next year.
9. Jeffery tiptoes for the touchdown
No Carson Wentz, no problems for the Eagles today. Well, there were some problems but Nick Foles and the offense delivered. They put up 34-points on the Giants and it was just enough to squeak out the win. Foles had plenty of help from his receivers today and Alshon Jeffery hauled in this impressive touchdown early in the first quarter.
Jeffery found just enough space in the back of the end zone as he tiptoed his way for the score. He didn’t have a big day but it was enough to get the Eagles the win. They now clinch a first-round bye and are one step closer to a Super Bowl run this season.
