Players describe the best and weirdest plays of Week 11
Russell Wilson gets his first touchdown catch, NFL kickers suffer through a record bad day, Dez Bryant drags a rookie CB into the end zone, and the Vikings race for a pair of 100-yard returns. Listen to the stars describe the big moments.
Doug Baldwin
Eagles vs. Seahawks • Role reversal for a historic touchdown

The situation: First-and-10 from the Philadelphia 15-yard line, with the Seahawks leading 16-7 and 7:31 left in the third quarter of a game that is still competitive.
The play: Doug Baldwin lines up tight left to the formation. After the ball is snapped, he runs behind Russell Wilson, who laterals the ball to him. Baldwin pretends he's running to his right before winding up and launching a pass back to Wilson down the left sideline for a touchdown. It's 23-7 now with the Seahawks in full control.

Mike Nugent
Bengals vs. Bills • Getting kicked while you're down

The situation: Moments after touchdowns across the league, kickers line up at the 15-yard line for what used to be gimme points.
The play: The NFL wanted to inject a little drama into what used to be a sure thing when the extra-point kicks were moved from the 2-yard line to the 15. Consider it mission accomplished, especially after Sunday's record 12 PAT misses, including two from the Giants' Robbie Gould and the Bengals' Mike Nugent, who had missed only six in his 12-season career coming into the game. Kickers missed eight PATs in the early games, with four more coming during the late games. Listen to Nugent explain what went wrong.

Dez Bryant
Ravens vs. Cowboys • Drags defender in for the score

The situation: Facing second-and-8 from the Ravens' 13-yard line, the Cowboys cling to a 17-10 lead in the fourth quarter.
The play: Dak Prescott slings a quick pass to Dez Bryant, who makes the grab at the 4-yard line and drags rookie cornerback Tavon Young into the end zone for his second touchdown of the day and first multi-touchdown game since 2014.

Jarvis Landry
Dolphins vs. Rams • Touchdown takes team effort

The situation: Second-and-9 from the Rams' 10-yard line with the Dolphins down 10-0 with 4:13 left in the game.
The play: Ryan Tannehill completes a pass to Jarvis Landry at the 5-yard line. Landry hits a wall of three Rams defenders, but his Dolphins teammates rush to the pile and use their momentum to carry him into the end zone and set up Miami's comeback victory.

Tom Brady
Patriots vs. 49ers • Eludes defenders to complete a touchdown pass

The situation: On third-and-8 from the New England 44, the Patriots look for a chance to extend their drive with 10 minutes left in the game.
The play: Tom Brady showcases his deceptive speed to shake off linebacker Ahmad Brooks just long enough to complete a pass to Malcolm Mitchell, who carries it the rest of the way for a 56-yard touchdown, while Brady is hit from behind. It is the second time in the quarter that Brady manages to escape pressure and complete a pass for a touchdown.

Cordarrelle Patterson
Cardinals vs. Vikings • A one-man race

The situation: The opening kickoff of the second half, with the Vikings ahead of the Cardinals 20-17.
The play: Cordarrelle Patterson takes a kickoff 4 yards deep in the end zone, heads to the left side of the Vikings' formation and surges through a gaping hole for a 104-yard touchdown that puts the Vikings up by 10 points.

Xavier Rhodes
Cardinals vs. Vikings • 100-yard interception return

The situation: Third-and-goal from the Minnesota 9-yard line, with the Vikings leading 13-10 with 3:32 left in the second quarter.
The play: Xavier Rhodes is in zone coverage in the end zone, and Carson Palmer throws late to John Brown after Captain Munnerlyn jams him at the line of scrimmage. Rhodes intercepts the pass and takes it 100 yards for a touchdown -- the longest score off an interception return in Vikings history.

Andre Roberts
Jaguars vs. Lions • Makes them miss all the way to the house

The situation: Fourth-and-8 from the Jacksonville 8-yard line, with the Jaguars up 3-0 with 11:31 left in the first half.
The play: Lions returner Andre Roberts receives a Brad Nortman punt at the Detroit 45-yard line, immediately makes two defenders miss and cuts upfield. He has good blocking on the play and a potential path to the end zone. He slows down so Don Carey can block Jacksonville's Arrelious Benn, which gives Roberts coverage to get to the end zone for his second punt return touchdown of the season.

Chris Conte
Buccaneers vs. Chiefs • Interception in the end zone

The situation: Trailing 12-10 with 12:20 remaining in the game, the Chiefs have the ball at the Bucs' 6-yard line.
The play: Chris Conte, who had a pick-six against the Bears, steps in front of Chris Conley for an interception and races 53 yards before being forced out of bounds. It is the first interception tossed by Alex Smith on a pass thrown into the end zone since Week 13 of 2013 against the Broncos. He attempted 38 passes into the end zone between that game and Sunday. The interception sets up a nine-play, 52-yard drive capped by a 3-yard TD pass from Jameis Winston to Alan Cross, which proves to be the winning score.
