The photograph is a few milliseconds early but Driver's catch deserves a vote at NFL.com

Best play of the lot as it was so spectacular, but as far as the pictures go, the others are better shots. The diving grab happens more often, but the shot was near perfect. QB hits happen all the time, but the shots show the pain of the crunch and the anguish of losing the ball.

Agreed - the shot of Driver was just a little too early. 0.25sec later, and it's beautiful.

Johnson's picture is great, as is Matt Cassel's. The one of Anderson is just a little too unnatural. I'm guessing he didn't get hurt on that play, or the pic wouldn't be in there, but it sure looks like they're about to twist him around until something gives.

The other 3 tell more of a story.

I voted ochostinko but think I should have gone with Anderson.

Relooking at the Driver photo, it did capture the determination and concentration on drivers face. I like the lions in the background watching with casual interest - already defeated. As said before, if it was taken as the ball touches Drivers hand, maybe a look of 'anguish' on the DB (all you see now is chin strap) and you have a fantastic shot.

the picture doesn't do the catch any justice

that was one of the best catches i've ever seen

amazing concentration, one hand, diving backwards with one hand being held by the defender, and he snags it with one hand, cradles it against his body, and somehow holds on after he hit the ground

DD is really going strong at 34; that catch was amazing. Gotta focus on the positive actives that Packers do have. Cry TT - time to worry now!

Driver is such a great player...underrated his whole career.

If he played on a big market team his mug on endorsements would be everywhere.

But he's right where he belongs in Green Bay.
