A) MELVIN GORDON - 87-yard TD run, Chargers @ Patriots

Gordon is having a stunning year, but hadn't actually managed a run of greater than 21 yards until he went off to the races for this monster score against the Patriots.

B) ALSHON JEFFERY - 53-yard TD reception, 49ers @ Eagles

Outfought and utterly outmuscled. That's what several San Francisco defensive backs were when Jeffrey snatched this pass from Carson Wentz off the covering defender and then weaved his way through for a touchdown.

C) MOHAMED SANU - 8-yard TD reception, Falcons @ Jets

What a grab by Sanu in the back of the endzone! Matt Ryan fizzed the ball through at some pace, and yet somehow Sanu - who was well covered - managed to haul in the ball one-handed with his diving effort for the TD.

D) DESHAUN WATSON - 2-yard TD pass, Texans @ Seahawks

SEATTLE, WA - OCTOBER 29:  Quarterback Deshaun Watson #4 of the Houston Texans cheers as DeAndre Hopkins #10 scores a 72 yard touchdown against the Seattle

Wow! Just wow! There are so many highlights from Watson's trip to Seattle that we could, conceivably, just dedicated a whole vote to him... but, we've opted to pick out this stunning scramble and pass to Lamar Miller for one of his four TDs.

E) JUJU SMITH-SCHUSTER - 97-yard TD reception, Steelers @ Lions

DETROIT, MI - OCTOBER 29: Wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster #19 of the Pittsburgh Steelers runs with the ball after a making a catch against cornerback Nev

Smith-Schuster is the Steelers' new offensive star! The 20-year-old receiver - the youngest player in the league - dazzled in Detroit on Sunday night, speeding away from the Lions defence for this monster 97-yard score.
