Troy Aikman found a unique way to briefly put aside his publicized Monday Night Football rift. By witnessing, what he described, as one of the best plays he's ever seen. Which involved Minnesota Vikings safety Byron Murphy frustrating Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills.
The past NFL Most Valuable Player quarterback Allen unleashed a deep ball into the end zone. Wide receiver DJ Moore had the separation advantage from his cornerback. Allen completes these types of plays with his impressive arm strength.
Except Murphy made a beeline toward the football, snatching it in front of a tumbling Moore. But that wasn't all, as Murphy turned it into a 55-yard return.
Aikman hailed it as “one of the best plays I've ever seen.”
