Move over, Jaws. There's a new breakdown team in town. YouTube Film Session features the finest in amateur film parsing this side of the internet. Mindful of both X's and O's, and Jimmies and Joes.

Brandon Marshall's 51-yard touchdown grab was filthy. That's why you've seen it a million times between SportsCenter, NFL Live and the 17 blogs in your bookmark bar.

But after the jump, Back Porch goes inside the play that had Chris Berman howling, "Whaaaat? Whaaat?"



Part 1: The Decision



Here we notice quarterback Kyle Orton taking a calculated risk. The cornerback is draped over Marshall. Not to mention that he is hidden behind the intrusive Fox scoreboard. "No matter," thinks Orton. "Brandon is seven-foot-twelve." Piece of cake.

Part 2: Vindication



By the grace of God, Orton's thinking pays off. So does his noodle arm. The underthrown ball allows Marshall to come back and make the play over Terence Newman. Pass completed. Suck it, Romo.

Part 3: The Prominade



Here we see Cowboys defenders opting not to do their job. Tackling is lame, they say. In their defense, Daniel Graham employs a textbook Creed block. With arms wide open, he's impenetrable.

Part 4: The Embrace



Sure, Marshall asked to be traded. Sure, he was suspended during training camp. Water under the bridge. And nothing says gleeful man-hug quite like pink gloves.

Part 5: Closure



No touchdown celebration would be complete without an awkward, white dude high-five. Here it is. Not going to touch what Knowshon Moreno is doing back there. Some things are best left unmentioned.
