50 Most Awesome NFL Highlights of the 2011 Season

The 2011 NFL season has been a wild one—there's no question about that.

We have had numerous Tim Tebow comebacks and records falling, as well as a wide receiver doing a front flip over another player to score a touchdown.

Luckily, we have YouTube so we can all watch these moments time and time again.

Without further ado, here are 50 awesome highlights from the 2011 NFL season.

Tom Brady Nearly Dies

All of Patriots Nation's hearts stopped here after Elvis Dumervil nearly killed Tom Brady.

The hit was so hard that it lifted Brady off the ground.

LeGarrette Blount Goes Beast Mode Against the Green Bay Packers

No one can stop LeGarrette Blount—no one!

This is a great individual effort.

Percy Harvin turned just an average return into an incredible 103-yard touchdown against the San Diego Chargers back in Week 1.

Tony Romo to Jason Witten for 64 Yards

This may not have been a touchdown, but Jason Witten displays why he's an elite tight end in the NFL.

I would not want to try to tackle him in space. No way.

Joe Flacco to Torrey Smith to Sweep the Pittsburgh Steelers

This clip is all of Baltimore's final plays on its game-winning drive, but if you want to simply jump right to the action where Joe Flacco hooks up with Torrey Smith to give the Ravens the lead, fast-forward to 1:33.

Ed Reed Lays Down the Law Against Hines Ward

Maybe it's just me, but I really love watching Hines Ward get laid out.

He deserves this after all of his cheap shots and questionable blocks over the years.

I have never seen anything like this before in my life.

Anthony Spencer literally jumped right over the center of the offensive line and made a spectacular block.

Chad Ochocinco's First Touchdown as a Patriot

Well, it took 15 games for Chad Ochocinco to score his first touchdown as a New England Patriot.

I will say that I do love his touchdown celebration on his one—he called it "The Belichick."

Tony Romo to Jesse Holley for 77 Yards in Overtime

This wasn't the greatest play-action fake, but the San Francisco 49ers bit really hard.

I know, I know. This isn't really a highlight of a play or anything, but it's just funny watching Marion Barber do a backflip but just fail.

DeMarcus Ware Eats Mark Sanchez Alive

Mark Sanchez had no chance against DeMarcus Ware.

Ware simply swallowed Sanchez right up.

Ahmad Bradshaw Stiff-Arms Nate Allen

Nate Allen wanted nothing to do with Ahmad Bradshaw on this run.

Bradshaw sees Allen in his way and simply gives him a shot right to the face, and Allen just collapses.

Victor Cruz Is a Freak of Nature

Eli Manning has a lot of faith in Victor Cruz.

Manning just threw it up for Cruz, but he somehow came down with the ball after it was nearly intercepted.

Jerome Simpson's Front Flip into the End Zone

Wow—that's all I have to say.

Tom Brady and Wes Welker Connect for a 99-Yard Touchdown

You don't see this every day.

Newton simply does it all by himself on this one as he runs the ball down Tampa Bay's throat.

Eli Manning does a great job of getting the ball to his playmakers because he knows this will happen.

Victor Cruz ran a long way on this play.

This is definitely one of the very few highlights of the 2011 season for the St. Louis Rams.

Forget Tebowing—what about Gronking?

Danario Alexander Snags the Jump Ball Away from the Cincinnati Bengals

Devin Hester Sets an NFL Record

Devin Hester set an NFL record with this punt return for a touchdown, as he now has the most combined special-teams touchdowns in NFL history.

Reggie Bush is still a bust in my book, but he's having one hell of a season with the Miami Dolphins.

Records are meant to be broken.

Congratulations to Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints!

Red Bryant Returns an Interception for a Touchdown

You don't see this happen every day.

That was a whole lot of running for the 325-pounder.

Donald Brown's 81-Yard Touchdown Run to Give the Indianapolis Colts a Win

Let's put it this way: Donald Brown had no interest in finishing 2011 with an embarrassing and laughable 0-16 record.

Brown put the Indianapolis Colts on his back in this one.

Patrick Peterson's 99-Yard Game-Winning Punt Return

Patrick Peterson is without a doubt one of the most dangerous returners in the NFL right now.

Peterson was the fifth overall pick in this past year's draft, and he's lived up to all of the high expectations about his playmaking ability.

Roy Helu Hurdles His Way for a Touchdown

Roy Helu is one of the most exciting young running backs the NFL has to offer.

This is what makes Rob Gronkowski the best tight end in the NFL.

Gronk turns a one-yard catch into an incredible pitch-and-catch for a touchdown.

Plaxico Burress certainly has some left in the tank despite spending nearly two years in jail.

Not too many wide receivers in the NFL can make a catch like this one.

A.J. Green is one incredible talent. He is going to have a very successful career, and he's going to make Andy Dalton a great quarterback if he continues to make catches like this one.

Really, Tim Tebow? This is how you warm up, singing, "Our God is an awesome God"?

Normal people listen to rock or rap music...not Tim Tebow.

Tom Brady Spikes It in Denver's Face

"This is what I think about Tebow Time!"

A.J. Green Cannot Be Covered

I will admit that this was an amazing catch by A.J. Green, but I actually believe the credit is due to Andy Dalton. The rookie out of TCU put the ball where only Green could catch it.

Brad Smith Turns an Interception into a Touchdown

Ryan Fitzpatrick simply threw it up there for Brad Smith, and at first it looked like it was going to be picked off—but Smith turned a possible interception into a touchdown.
