Top Five Must-See Plays from Week 11 in the NFL (Video)

Did you miss any of the Week 11 action in the NFL? We've got you covered. Here are five plays you shouldn't miss.

Hopkins dusts Revis

DeAndre Hopkins said he heard the hype all week about Darrelle Revis, and Hopkins did his best to change the narrative. Watch as Hopkins goes to the post for a 61-yard touchdown — even having to slow up a step to catch it — beating one of the best corners in the NFL by two steps as the Houston Texans beat the New York Jets and reached .500 in doing so.

Former Bird bites back

The defensively challenged Atlanta Falcons decided to let their former safety, Dwight Lowery, walk in free agency this offseason. The defensively challenged Indianapolis Colts were happy to add his services. The Week 11 game in Atlanta served as Lowery's reminder what the Falcons were missing. Watch as he corrals a terrific pinball interception off the hands of Falcons receiver Roddy White. Lowery also made a great pass breakup on the penultimate play of the game to help preserve a Colts road win.

No score, but full bore

Doug Martin turned in the second-most rushing yards in his career for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with 235 in a victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. Interestingly, Martin never found the end zone. The closest he came was his longest run — an 84-yard scamper down to the Philadelphia 1-yard line that featured some terrific stiff-arms (yes, more than one) to Eagles corner Nolan Carroll before Connor Barwin forced Martin out just before he could score.

Shorts goes long

T.J. Yates was the Texans' starting quarterback, as we saw above, but he was not the only one to throw a TD pass in the win over the Jets. Here's Yates lateraling to Shorts, who fires a pass back across the field to a wide-open Alfred Blue for a touchdown. But this is nothing new for Shorts: He's now 3-for-3 passing for 53 yards and two TDs in his career, which is good for a perfect passer rating of 158.3.

Follow the bouncing INT

Jay Cutler played well for a shorthanded Chicago Bears offense against his former Denver Broncos team, but he was hit with some bad luck. With 2:30 remaining and the Bears driving for the game-tying score, Cutler was stripped from behind by Von Miller, but it was not a fumble — Cutler's arm was moving forward. Watch as the ball caroms off Bears offensive lineman Patrick Omameh and to Broncos D-lineman Malik Jackson, who makes a one-handed interception.
