As the 2020 Season of the NFL heads for Christmas, fans have created news that made the league heard once again. Many key takeaways have been seen last week, including the impressive plays, comebacks, and blowouts.
The league is now preparing for a holiday break after a crazy compilation of what happened in Week 15 of the NFL.
The New York Jets Are On a Mission for a Post-Season Upset
Can you imagine ending a season without a win? We could only speculate how the New York Jets feel about their situation, but it turned out to be a week shocker. After their 14th game, the Jets escaped with a 23-20 win over the Los Angeles Rams. It might be a meager feat for the climbing team, but Jets fans were impressed.
Tom Brady, The Buccaneer Magician
The first half for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers rolled to a 17-0. Finishing strong might not be possible for the other teams, but Brady turned back the clock for his team, spearheading three touchdown dashes in the third quarter. Brady notched 390 yards, the highest passing yard since Super Bowl Ll. The Falcons were disappointed for sure.
Darius Leonard Deserves a Christmas Break
Only a few days left before Christmas, and yet, Leonard was still on a business trip. His game-changing play was the game-losing fumble for Texans' Keke Coutee. Manning the swarming defense - that is only the beginning for the Colts.
Jalen Hurts On a New Page
Hurts' 60-plus rushing yards and 330-plus passing yards made him the third rookie quarterback to do so since 1950. That was a game with four-plus touchdowns, and Hurts was looking to pull a Hail-Mary pass to Travis Fulgham. A failed seven-point conversion happened but what's important is Hurts' successful first and second-quarter plays. The kid has a lot of room to improve.
Tony Pollard Played the Role of Tornado
Pollard paced the Cowboys with a spinning escape from the school of 49ers quarterbacks. Less than three minutes left, he rushed for 132 yards en route to two touchdowns on 18 touches. The Cowboys could have lost that three-point lead on second-and-4 if it wasn't for the Dallas roadrunner.
