Sadly there is no Monday Night Football this week, but here is a little something I put together!
These are my memorable moments in the 2013 NFL Season during the Monday Night Football games
1.) Brian Cushing's 18 yard INT return for a TD to tie the game against the Chargers (week 1)
The tying touchdown that helped aid the Texans win over the Chargers, sadly this would be only one of the Texans two victories all season long. This play was great to watch on TV, it made for an exciting comeback win and it made some in the NFL ponder if Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers could change his habit of turnovers. As it turns out Rivers had a solid season and lead his team to the playoffs. This play was part of the Texans 24 unanswered points.
2.) Geno Smith's game winning drive against the Falcons (week 5)
I picked the Falcons to win this game, and I was wrong. Just when you thought the Falcons had the game in their hand Geno smith drove the Jets into Falcon territory to set up the game winning field goal in an upset victory on Monday Night Football. The Falcons lost a heart breaker which what their season was, a complete heartbreak.
3.) Aaron Rodgers goes down (week 9)
Aaron Rodgers went down with a broken collarbone after only throwing 2 passes and the Bears gained some ground in the NFC North. When this play happened the Packer faithful were all holding their breathe and hoping Rodgers was okay, but he was unable to make it back in to finish the game and the Packers lost by 7. The best part about this was that Rodgers came back in week 17 to face the team that beat him and he pulled off the victory in his first game since week 9 to take the NFC North.
4.) Seahawks hold off St. Louis to win the game at the end (week 8)
This game was interesting to watch, the Seahawks struggled all night but managed to have the lead heading into the Rams final drive of the game. Kellen Clemens looked poised to pull of the comeback but it fell short when the Seahawks held on at the very last second on a goal line stand to leave St. Louis with another win in the bag.
5.) Cam Newton to Ted Ginn JR game winning TD against the Patriots (week 11)
This was sort of the coming out game for the Panthers by means of the national stage, Cam Newton was able to hit Ted Ginn Jr for the game winning score with 59 seconds left in the ball game. This was part of a great run for the Panthers as headed down the road for the NFC South title and first round bye in the 2013 playoffs.
6.) Justin Tucker (week 15)
The Falcons offense for the evening was none other than kicker Justin Tuckers who hit not 1, not 2, not 3 BUT 6 field goals including the game winner which was from 61 yards out. This helped keep the Ravens playoff hops alive and helped end the Lions hopes of reaching the post season.
7.) Navorro Bowman's pick 6 against the Falcons (week 16)
Ther 49ers playoff hopes were on the line, win and they were in, but lose and face a must win in week 17. Navorro Bowman made a blunder on the onside kick that gave the Falcons a chance to tie or win the game, but Bowman was able to pick off a pass that was bounced around in the air and take it all the way back for a score. This sent the Falcons even lower than they had been prior and sealed the 49ers playoff spot as well, this was one of my favorite plays on MNF.
