Although there was only one touchdown in this game, there were still plenty of great plays to watch over and over again.

Don’t let LeSean McCoy‘s lone touchdown catch scare you, there were plenty of plays that were worthy of the highlight reel on Sunday.

While we are talking about it, let’s go ahead and start with the 7-yard touchdown catch by LeSean McCoy. Noticing the pressure coming fast, Tyrod Taylor was forced to get rid of the ball quickly. Luckily, our man Shady was open to the right thanks to great blocking by Walt Powell. With only one man to beat, you know how Shady does. Let’s just say he tip-toes his way in like usual.

In case you were wondering how that TD catch made Bill Belichick feel, this was his exact reaction following the score:

Now that we have Bill frustrated, let’s get to a great defensive play by S Aaron Williams. Before the season started, we were unsure if we would ever see the same Aaron Williams play after missing nearly all of last season with a neck injury. Well, he’s been one of the better defensive players on this team when on the field and this highlight shows why:

Tyrod Taylor finished the game with 28 rushing yards, but half of those came on one run. That’s not what made that play a highlight play, though. Take a look at his juke move at the line of scrimmage in our third highlight — a 14 yard rush by Taylor:

Here’s another defensive play that pretty much describes how good Jerry Hughes has been for our defense this year. We are just four games in and he is already just one sack behind his total of all last season. Keep ’em coming, Hughes!

Our last highlight is going to come from Zach Brown, another defensive player that has simply been a workhorse in these first four games of the season. He finished Week 4 with 18 total tackles, one sack and 2 forced fumbles — one of them coming against Patriots’ quarterback Jacoby Brissett shown below:
