Most Dramatic Moments of the Week

This past week was headlined by the weekend with the Super Bowl, which was an unbelievable game between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots.

But there was plenty of other drama around the sports world at home and abroad, with men's tennis, the NBA, NHL and even college football getting in on the action as well.

Here are the most dramatic moments of the past week in sports.

Curry Pulls Warriors from 22-Point Deficit

When voters go back to look at Stephen Curry's MVP-level season and decide if he should win or not, they will undoubtedly look to Wednesday night's game as an exclamation point on an outstanding season.

On 16-of-26 shooting, Curry scored 51 points and helped lead Golden State to a huge comeback victory over the Dallas Mavericks.

Dallas had an early 22-point lead, but Curry was simply on fire, nailing 10 three-pointers on the night to overwhelm the Mavs and bring the Warriors all the way back en route to a 128-114 victory.

Djokovic Wins Aussie Title

Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray have been two of the best tennis players in the world for years now, and they did not disappoint in a highly-anticipated matchup in the Australian Open final.

The two fought valiantly for the entire match, and things were close down to the very end before Djokovic broke it open with a service break in the eighth game of the third set.

Djokovic had been a perfect four-for-four in Australian Open finals previously and made it five-for-five by taking down Murray 7-6 (5), 6-7 (4), 6-3, 6-0.

It was the third time Djokovic has beaten Murray in the Australian Open Final.

The Catch

If we're being honest, the first half of the Super Bowl was relatively mundane and boring, and it actually featured a lot of sloppy play from both sides.

There were turnovers, a lot of incomplete passes from Russell Wilson and a bunch of short runs to start things off slow.

But the second half got off to a better start, as Seattle scored 10 points in the third quarter to pull slightly away. Tom Brady, however, got his team back into it with two beautiful drives that put the Patriots back on top.

It was with roughly 1:10 remaining in the fourth quarter, however, that made it obvious that this Super Bowl would have a legendary ending when Jermaine Kearse made an insane catch after the ball bounced around his body and feet as he fell to the ground before securing it for a huge gain.

The Interception

While Kearse's catch was incredibly improbable, it was also crucial to a Seattle drive that was shaping up to be one of the greatest final drives in NFL history.

Russell Wilson marched his team down into the red zone and then had them right on the one-yard-line with 27 seconds remaining and one timeout to spare.

Pete Carroll's decision to throw the ball has been debated heavily over the past few days and will continue to be discussed for a long time, but everyone knows what happened on this play.

Undrafted rookie Malcolm Butler jumped the route and intercepted Wilson, ending Seattle's hopes for a repeat and sending New England into a frenzy.

What an unbelievable ending to a crazy season.

Anaheim Comes from Behind

Incredibly, there were four games in the NHL that went into overtime on Tuesday night (another one will be featured here), but none were as good as Anaheim versus Carolina.

The Hurricanes looked to be in control in the third period and held a 4-2 lead with 11 minutes remaining in the game.

But Devante Smith-Pelly and Corey Perry scored two nice goals to force overtime, and captain Ryan Getzlaf took over from there.

Getzlaf took a nice pass from Perry and fired a quick wrist shot into the back of the net to give his squad an impressive come-from-behind win.

Josh Gordon Suspended

He's one of the most talented players in the NFL, but Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon has not been able to stay out of trouble during his short time in the league.

Gordon had already been suspended twice before failing a league-issued substance abuse test on January 25, per Adam Schefter.

After days of discussion and speculation, ESPN.com's  Jeremy Fowler reported that Gordon had been suspended by the league for the 2015 season without pay.

One can only hope that Gordon is able to straighten things out and return to football at some point down the line, but this unfortunate story gripped the entire football world earlier in the week even in the aftermath of the Super Bowl.

Jack Wins It Late

The Brooklyn Nets and Los Angeles Clippers are hardly bitter rivals, but they sure looked the part on Monday night.

The Nets had been riding a seven-game home losing streak before the game but seemed to come out with a new fire that had been missing before, while Los Angeles matched the intensity play-for-play.

Brooklyn found itself down by nine points with 1:35 left on the clock, but clawed its way back and had it tied up on the final possession.

Jarrett Jack took the inbounds pass and just did the rest himself, with a nifty crossover setting up a quick jumper that went in with just 1.3 seconds remaining on the clock to give his team the win.

Colorado and Dallas Need 11 Rounds

This old Western Conference rivalry was in full force on Tuesday night. Dallas and Colorado are two up-and-coming teams that both looked like they desperately wanted a win, and it took a shootout to decide the winner.

The Stars probably felt good as they took a 2-0 lead into the third period with some stifling defense and great goaltending from Kari Lehtonen.

But after a Ryan O'Reilly goal earlier in the period, Tyson Barrie put home the game-tying marker with a mere 20 seconds left in regulation.

Neither team could score in overtime, and the shootout lasted an incredible 11 rounds before Max Talbot scored the winner for the Avalanche.

National Signing Day Craziness

A few of the biggest names in high school football still had yet to commit anywhere before national signing day this past Wednesday, and the college football world was watching to see where they ended up.

Defensive end Byron Cowart, No. 1 overall in the ESPN 300, started the festivities by choosing Auburn and their new defensive coordinator Will Muschamp.

Terry Beckner Jr., a defensive tackle from Illinois, then chose Missouri over Florida State, Ohio State and Auburn. 

Arguably the biggest winner, however, was UCLA. The Bruins added Soso Jamabo (No. 28 overall), Joshua Wariboko (No. 105 overall) and Chris Clark (No. 111 overall) to round out one of the strongest classes in the country.
