Once again, the NFL has produced some huge hits this year, so here are a few of the biggest collisions this season had to offer

With the Super Bowl headed our way this weekend, JOE has been casting our eye back over the season to get a look at some of the funniest moments, a few of the best catches, and today, the biggest hits that we’ve seen this season.

While the league is trying to bring down the number of dangerous impacts that players go through in every game, and that is vitally important, it’s also a part of the game that fans and players alike value highly, and what makes football so entertaining.

Hair raising stuff

Most men have to confront hair loss at some stage, but we hope that when our time comes it’s not forcefully removed from our head by Jason Babin, as happened to Andre Ellington of the Cardinals.

William Moore delivers a WWE-style spinebuster

The Atlanta Falcons safety delivered one of the most unique and the biggest hits of the year with this number, and thanks to the internet we can view it in all its glory, complete with good ol’ JR on commentary. BY GAAWWWWWD ALMIGHTY!

Ricardo Lockette delivers a huge hit

The Championship game is as good a time as any to show that your 40 yard dash time was fast…really fast in the case of Ricardo Lockette (4.37) who delivers this massive hit on LaMichael James.

He’s got form on this front though, and he makes sure he connects on the end of any hit.

Polamalu brings the pain

He does Head & Shoulders commercials, but when he hits like this he shows why he was considered head and shoulders above the competition in his position of strong safety for years.

Drew Brees’ goes all funny

We thought this type of thing only happened in the cartoons.

Jawbreaker

Poor Kevin Huber was having his Christmas dinner through a straw after this bone-shattering hit quite literally shattered his bones. Namely those in his jaw.

Clay Matthews gets dirty

All the talk in the preseason was about how teams could stop Colin Kaepernick and his ability to make plays on the ground with his legs. Clay Matthews has the answer, and it involved hitting him pretty hard.
