Aaron Rodgers' game-winning TD is best of Week 6

After conducting a game-winning fourth-quarter drive, Aaron Rodgers was a shoo-in for the No. 1 spot in Week 6's Top 10 "Performance Moments of the Week" presented by Bridgestone.

Down 24-20 to the Dolphins with 2:04 left, the Packers couldn't settle for a field goal in Miami. So one of the game's top quarterbacks had to try to settle it with a touchdown. Rodgers and Co. conducted a two-minute drill that coaches dream of, which included converting a fourth-and-10 to favorite target Jordy Nelson and pulling out the good ol' fake spike. With three seconds left on the clock, Rodgers' 4-yard strike to tight end Andrew Quarless sealed Green Bay's 27-24 road victory, and his place in the Top 10.

As always, there was stiff competition at No. 2, especially in a week where the league's best home-field advantage briefly dissipated. On third-and-20, Tony Romo and the Cowboys were desperate for a conversion. After evading three Seahawks pass rushers, Romo literally pointed out Terrance Williams (who appeared in the top-three last week) and perfectly lofted a pass to the leaping wide receiver who had the closest of toe taps with both feet to stay inbounds. It was such an unbelievable pass that Seattle coach Pete Carroll challenged the call -- and lost.

Also making the countdown: Bengals running back Giovani Bernard takes a run 89 yards to the house. ... Broncos star wideout Demaryius Thomas entered his own toe-tap catch for consideration. ... J.J. Watt -- the Texans' defense's one-man wrecking crew – scored another touchdown, this one on a fumble return.
