Handing out offbeat awards for the 2019 season

The Associated Press will hand out its individual NFL awards on the night before the Super Bowl in Miami. Until then, here are some offthebeaten track honors to consider.

BEST GAME: In Week 10, the best Monday night game in years saw Seattle beat San Francisco 2724 in overtime in a key NFC West matchup. This one had everything, from huge defensive plays to special teams highlights (and lowlights) to Russell Wilson working some magic on the winning drive. Watching Pete Carroll’s resilient squad hand the Niners their first defeat was worthy of the primetime spotlight.

WORST GAME: Seems we often find a Jets game to fit this bill. How about New England 33, New York 0 — in prime time. When will the league learn to BAN the JETS from national TV?

Sam Darnold threw four interceptions and lost a fumble. Worse yet, he was caught on the sideline by ESPN and NFL Films cameras saying he was “seeing ghosts.” Darnold went 11 for 32 for 86 yards and the Jets finished with 154 yards.

BEST CELEBRATION: Nick Bosa’s revenge. In the 49ers’ 313 rout of Cleveland, the San Francisco defensive end poked fun at

Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield after forcing Mayfield into a hurried incompletion. Bosa, the second overall draft pick, got up and pretended to wave a flag and plant it in the turf as the crowd roared. It was a clear shot at Mayfield, who planted an Oklahoma flag in the turf after leading the Sooners to a win over Bosa and Ohio State in 2017.

“I think everybody knows what that was for,“Bosa said. “Just wanted to get payback. He had it coming.”

BEST PLAY OF THE YEAR: The 49ers again, this time at New Orleans in a gamesaving play that will be George Kittle’s legacy — until the tight end pulls it off again.

On fourthand 2 in the final moments, Jimmy Garoppolo’s short pass found Kittle, who galloped up the sideline, making move after move and embracing an opportunity to defiantly jerk his head back and forth as a Saints defender grabbed his face mask.

“Run through people, but have a good time doing it,” Kittle said of the play, which gained 53 yards after the Saints’ penalty and set up a winning field goal.

WORST PLAY OF THE YEAR: Redskins rookie QB Dwayne Haskins taking a selfie with a fan when he was supposed to be taking a snap for a kneeldown in a win over Detroit.
