NEVER SAY NEVER MOMENT NOMINEES
Tim Tebow, Denver Broncos
Tebow leads Broncos' late-game rally: Under the direction of their new starting quarterback, the Denver Broncos had a lackluster effort for three-plus quarters and were staring at a 15-0 deficit. But in the final five minutes of regulation, Tebow directed two touchdown drives and scored the tying two-point conversion to force overtime. Denver emerged victorious in the extra period, as kicker Matt Prater's 52-yard field goal beat the Miami Dolphins, 18-15.
Plaxico Burress, New York Jets
Burress breaks out, Jets stun Chargers: The New York Jets had been waiting for Burress to bust out since signing the talented free agent in the offseason. On Sunday against the San Diego Chargers, he broke out in a big way. Entering the game with just two touchdown receptions on the season, Burress found the end zone three times and twice in the second half to help the Jets overcome an 11-point deficit to beat the Chargers, 27-21.
Mike Wallace, Pittsburgh Steelers
Historic play lifts Steelers over Cardinals: Backed up at their own 5-yard line after a false-start penalty and up by only a touchdown over the Arizona Cardinals, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh Steelers knew history wasn't on their side. But they were happy that Wallace was. Roethlisberger hit a sprinting Wallace, who took the ball 95 yards for a touchdown and the longest reception in Steelers history. The Steelers never relinquished their advantage.
