Michael Vick

For every one-of-a-kind talent, there’s often a performance that presents them at the absolute peak of their powers; in regards to Michael Vick’s revolutionary running style, said showcase arrived on Dec. 1, 2002. Speeding his way into a walk-off touchdown in overtime, the Falcons’ game-breaking quarterback turned a left side corner, leaving Vikings defenders in the dust, and securing a 30-24 win on the 46-yard carry. Accurately described as Atlanta’s “One Vick Pony” after being responsible for 346 of his offense’s 378 yards, Vick strode into the tunnel having overwhelmed Minnesota for 173 yards passing and a score, alongside 173 yards rushing (on 10 carries) and two additional touchdowns. Vick’s single-game rushing total stood at No. 1 in the NFL’s history books for a quarterback for the next two decades.
