21 - 13

(Jan 3, 2010 · Week 17)

Ravens running back Willis McGahee found the end zone three times in the final week of the 2009 NFL regular season, but his second of the day, sandwiched between two two-yard scores in the first and fourth quarters, respectively, stole the show. Taking a misdirection handoff right up the gut, McGahee shed a tackle attempt as he barrelled through the line of scrimmage and then quickly found himself in space.
