AXED: NFL star cut after walking out on team mid-game

In amongst all the madness were some weird, wacky and wonderful moments that took place across the league. Here’s what you might’ve missed:

Jags fans clowning around

A bunch of Jacksonville Jaguars stayed true to their word and showed up to their team’s clash with the Indianapolis Colts dressed as clowns in order to protest the direction of the franchise under owner Shad Khan.

Ironically, the Jags had one of their best performances of the season, causing a major upset with a 26-11 victory that eliminated the Colts from the playoffs.

McVay’s enthusiasm remains unmatched

If there’s one thing you can say about Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay, it’s that he never lacks enthusiasm.

This was obvious again when McVay was spotted joining his players in the end zone to celebrate a touchdown against the

Giants’ ‘sad’ play call

Nothing sums up the New York Giants dismal season more than this play call.

Backed up on their own 4-yard line, the Giants ran a quarterback sneak on 3rd and 9, essentially conceding defeat on the drive, before bringing out the punting unit.

Ramsey’s impressive juggling act

There’s no denying Los Angeles Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey is one of the most gifted athletes in the NFL.

The 27-year-old showed every bit of his athleticism and skill with this spectacular interception against the San Francisco 49ers.

Ravens’ not so touching tribute to Big Ben

The Baltimore Ravens showed there is no love lost between them and bitter AFC North rivals the Pittsburgh Steelers by airing a not so flattering tribute for retiring Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.

Tomlin celebrates in style

The Ravens might’ve taken a nice shot at Roethlisberger pre-game, but it was his Steelers who got the last laugh, with a 16-13 overtime win to book their place in the playoffs.

Head coach Mike Tomlin even joined in the post-game celebrations, showcasing some slick dance moves.

Pats end regular season in hilarious fashion

Trailing the Miami Dolphins 27-24 backed up on their own goal line, the New England Patriots turned to some trickery to try and pull off a miracle win.

Unfortunately for them, the play backfired, with Miami coming up with an interception and one of the easiest touchdowns you’re ever likely to see.
