Week 15 of the NFL season had a little bit of something for everyone as the intensity went up a notch with the playoffs just around the corner.

Tom Brady tantrums, terrific trick plays and two-point conversion attempts that didn’t go as planned all make our list of top moments you might’ve missed.

‘MUST SEE TV’: NFL team scrambles to find kicker

‘TRAUMATISING’: Quarterback taken to hospital after scary play

Tom Brady’s sideline tantrum

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady was shutout for the first time in his 15-year career in the Bucs’ 9-0 loss to the New Orleans Saints and it’s fair to say the 44-year-old didn’t handle it too well.

Brady was spotted on the Bucs’ sideline taking his frustrations out on a tablet, with the expensive piece of equipment smashing into pieces as he threw it aside.

Jets get tricky

The New York Jets gave their fans a rare memorable moment with creative hook-and-ladder trick play in their 31-24 loss to the Miami Dolphins.

Zach Wilson’s throw over the middle found Jamison Crowder who tossed a cross-field lateral to Braxton Berrios to run for a first down.

Barkley’s freakish catch

Saquon Barkley’s hands may be made from velcro.

That’s the only possible conclusion one could make after the New York Giants running back pulled of this ridiculous one-handed catch against the Dallas Cowboys.

Jags fan left wide open

It’s been so rare for Jacksonville Jaguars players to get open in the end zone this season that fans have started taking it upon themselves to offer an option to rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence.

Lawrence chose to ignore the wide open fan, instead opting to hand the ball off to James Robinson for a one-yard touchdown run.

Wilkins’ wonderful worm

Miami Dolphins 315-pound defensive tackle Christian Wilkins showed his versatility, scoring a touchdown after lining up at fullback against the Jets.

Even more impressive was the manner in which Wilkins perfectly executed the worm as a means of celebrating getting in the end zone.

Broncos too small celebration

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick made sure to let Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Trae Waynes know he’d got the better of him after catching a 25-yard touchdown pass.

Patrick gestured at Waynes to let him know he was ‘too small’ to guard him, but was hit with a 15-yard penalty for the disrespectful taunt.

Ravens gamble comes up short

The Baltimore Ravens opted to turn down the opportunity to kick a game-tying extra point and force overtime against the Green Bay Packers, instead choosing to go for a two-point conversion to win in regulation.

The intriguing decision didn’t pay off, with Tyler Huntley’s pass falling incomplete and the Ravens losing 31-30.
