In the Carolina Panther's week 5 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Christian McCaffrey launched himself into first place in the MVP race. His performance included 19 carriers for 176 yards and 2 Touchdowns, in addition to 6 catches for 61 yards and 1 Touchdown.
His receiving touchdown came from a great play design that was perfectly accentuated by McCaffrey's incredible athleticism.
Out of an empty shotgun set, the play design called for the receivers to attack the sidelines of the field with slot fade routes, leaving McCaffrey one-on-one with a linebacker all alone in the middle of the field.
McCaffrey used his athleticism to run a quick 5-yard whip route with a fake jab step to the outside and a hard cut inside where the backup quarterback gave him the ball, allowing him to catch and run into the end zone for an 18 yard touchdown reception.

With a depleted offense, the Chicago Bears brought in backup quarterback Chase Daniel who played so well that he almost completed an incredible second half comeback by scoring 21 unanswered points.
One of Daniel's best plays was a 16 yard touchdown pass off of a fake handoff and a fake bubble pass.
The entire concept of this play is an attempt to sucker the defense in towards the line of scrimmage before throwing it over their heads.
Even though the cornerback played deep coverage and started the play by giving a lot of cushion to the receiver, Daniel still found a way to effectively fake the bubble pass before placing the ball perfectly in the end zone where only his receiver was able to grab it and bring it down for the touchdown.
