Capturing Action

PREDICTING A COLLISION COURSE

Capturing action is equal parts skill and luck. Many times a catch or a collision takes place in front of you, but like marbles smashing into one another, there is a random component as to which direction everything will end up. Here Plaxico Burress, #17 of the New York Giants, hangs on to a pass as he collides into Atari Bigby, #20 of the Green Bay Packers, at the 2008 NFC Championship. —TH
