Top 20 Plays (Moments) of the 2016 NFL Season

No. 11: Chiefs Fake Punt Run for Touchdown vs Falcons
Let me just say, this play was awesome. Leading by four on the first drive of the second half, the Chiefs are set to punt on 4th-and-1 from their own 44 yd line. But Andy Reid had other ideas.
Lined up in a fairly normal punt formation, the ball is direct snapped to Albert Wilson, who takes off through a wide open hole in the middle of the field. Wilson is almost streaking through the middle of the field before you even know what’s happening.
All Wilson had to do was evade the punt returner (picture above) and he was in for the score. A great play in a great game. You don’t often see Fake Punts that go for 56 yard touchdowns in the NFL. Interestingly enough, this isn’t the craziest play in this game. We’ll see more later.
