Top Sports Plays Of 2014 [VIDEO]

The back they call Beast Mode may be best known for his amazing 67-yard touchdown run in the playoffs to help Seattle upset New Orleans in 2011. He recently broke off another huge TD score, this one for 79-yards and included several broken tackles. Although it came in a late season matchup against a team the Seahawks were in a division battle with, Lynch's monster run came in the fourth quarter of a blowout.

This highlight dates back to the Cadillac Open in March of 2014. This 91-foot birdie had Tiger chasing down the leader board, but from here it got bad. He finished the tournament by re-tweaking his back (something he battled all year) and finished the final round without recording a birdie, the first time he had gone birdie-less on a the final day of a tourney in all of his 19-years on the PGA Tour.

The. Most. Amazing. Throw. I've. Seen. You may wonder why I ranked it 8th? He lost some style points overall on the 'play' because he booted it into the corner to begin with. But, WOW! he certainly made up for it.

2014 was a big year for Rory MacIlroy. Among his victories this year were the Open Championship which included a round on Day 2 with two birdies in three holes. This approach on the 18th was amazing.

This buzzer beater 3-pointer with under a second to play in Game 6 of the of the NBA's opening playoff round sent the Trail Blazers to the next round and sent the Rockets back to Houston.

San Francisco's Travis Ishikawa jacks a 3-run, walk-off home run to end the 2014 National League Championship Series. The Giants win the NLCS 4-1 and go on to win the World Series.

They say that sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. Indianapolis Colts' quarterback Andrew Luck takes advantage of a fortunate bounce after his teammate fumbled, recovered the ball and scored. It came as Indy was in the midst of the second largest comeback in playoff history (28 points). Luck and company eventually own 45-44.

Going back to February 2014, freshman point guard Tyler Ennis drills a buzzer beater to lift Syracuse past Pitt. With the Orange trailing by one, it needed to be good to keep Cuse ranked No.1 in the nation and undfeated at 24-0.

This rolls in from college basketball's BigSky Conference. It features not one, but two thrilling buzzer beaters. The latter significantly more dramatic than the former. Gotta love the call, too.

I keep hearing people downplaying this catch. Really? He made the grab with three fingers, snagging it from behind his head while tip-toeing the out of bounds line. Granted this Giants did go on to lose this game, but it has been THE most memorable play of 2014.
