Can't-Miss Plays: Now that's concentration

Tipped balls. Funny bounces. Sometimes keeping a play alive requires that extra amount of concentration. Here are ten such plays from the 2007 season.

   In his pro debut, 
  Vikings RB 
  Adrian Peterson take a swing pass, bobbles it for dramatic effect, then gallops 60 yards for a Week 1 TD vs. Atlanta. 

Panthers WR Steve Smith maintains concentration and winds up with a Week 2 TD as the ball caroms off a Texans defender and into the air.

   Part football folly, part circus act, part lesson in effort: Carolina's 
  Richard Marshall tips the ball to teammate Deke Cooper to seal a Week 6 win. 

Colts LB Gary Brackett tips and picks off a Tom Brady pass, setting up a Colts touchdown in Week 9's showdown of unbeatens.

Titans WR Justin Gage's follow-the-bouncing-ball touchdown catch was one of two wonderfully wild plays of that nature in the end zone in Week 10.

   With two 
  Vikings defenders in tight coverage, 
  Raiders WR Ronald Curry catches this 49-yard pass from Daunte Culpepper in Week 11. 
   That's what you'll be saying when you see 
  Broncos TE 
  Tony Scheffler's sensational touchdown grab against the 
  Bears in Week 12. 

Ravens WR Derrick Mason tips the ball several times into the air and then comes down with an acrobatic first-down catch in Week 12.

Raiders WR Jerry Porter snags a potential interception from Al Harris for the Raiders' lone score in a 38-7 Week 14 rout in Green Bay.

   Talk about your lucky bounces. Arizona's Jerheme Urban catches a ricochet off of his own shoulder pad for a must-see 2-yard touchdown in Week 14.
