Some of them won the game, some of them saved the game and others made for some very impressive eye candy.

Odell Beckham Jr., James Rodriguez, Richard Sherman and Aaron Harrison were among those who put their distinctive stamp on sports in 2014 with shots, catches and plays that nearly broke the internet and led off all the highlight shows.

Beckham’s catch blew up almost within minutes of happening. The Giants receiver regularly practices the one-handed grab and put it to use with the catch of the year against the Cowboys.

Richard Sherman’s game-saving swataway from Michael Crabtree in the NFC championship game wrapped up Seattle’s trip to the Super Bowl. Moments later, his postgame interview drew even more attention.

In back-to-back NCAA tournament games, Kentucky freshman Aaron Harrison drained a 3-pointer to win.

The prettiest goal at the World Cup? No question, it was scored by Colombia’s James Rodriguez.
