I like this photo because it shows David Garrard celebrating in the background as Maurice Jones-Drew ran for one of his three touchdowns against the hapless Lions.

There were some better action shots from the Week 8 collection, but I like this picture because Anquan Boldin burst back on the scene with two touchdown catches, and there’s a nice contrast between the Cardinals’ red and the Panthers’ blue in the background.

I particularly like this picture because it captures a rarity – a blocked punt – which was a huge moment in one of the biggest games heading into the week. Check out more Week 6 photos here.

This photo isn’t bad, either.

Here are a few of my favorite photos from Week 5 action. You can see a full slideshow of larger versions on NFL.com.

I’m not a fan of Randy Moss, but the league is better off when he’s playing his best ball. After Matt Cassel’s first couple of starts, many were wondering if he had the arm strength to hit Moss with the deep ball. I like photos that capture more than just a single play. This one also answers a question that was plaguing the Patriots and their fans.

Here are a few of my favorite photos from Week 4. Click on the picture to see a bigger version at NFL.com.

This is a nice shot of a 49er defender hanging off of Reggie Bush, who is having a great season thus far. This picture captures how an improving San Francisco defense was able to contain Bush. (Unfortunately, they couldn’t contain anyone else in the Saints’ offense.)

The timing of this picture is incredible; the photo was snapped just as the ball reached the hands of Tony Gonzalez. There were probably 30 photographers trying to get this shot, but only one managed to capture it.

I like this shot because it represents the first bit of real adversity in Jay Cutler’s remarkable 2008 season. I especially like the contrast between his look of disgust and the faceless mass of out of focus Kansas City fans in the background, who were no doubt cheering their fool heads off.

At NFL.com, you can vote for the photo of the week. (But be warned, none of these were nominated.)
