It’s hard to believe that we are about halfway through the 2022 NFL regular season. In Week 8, Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle both exploded for 100-plus yards receiving for the Miami Dolphins, Derrick Henry broke the Tennessee Titans‘ franchise record for touchdowns and the New Orleans Saints blasted the Las Vegas Raiders 24-0, despite being underdogs. All wild events, but all did not make our list of top-five wildest moments from NFL Sunday.
Let’s recap what was another incredibly entertaining week in the NFL. Here are the five wildest things we saw on Sunday in Week 8:

Defensive Player of the Year candidate Micah Parsons recovered the loose ball, jumping on the pigskin and shielding it with his body. At that point, all that had to happen for the play to come to an end was for Parsons to be touched down by a member of the Bears. Bears QB Justin Fields was running in his direction, but instead of touching Parsons, he jumped over him!
Parsons, realizing he had not been touched, got up and ran the fumble back for a 36-yard touchdown! I guess Fields still thought he was playing by college football rules.
