The last decade had no shortage of brilliant fake-outs and trickeration on the gridiron.

The Saints' game-changing onside kick to begin to second half of the 2010 Super Bowl. The Rams sending 10 players to the wrong side of the field in a special teams fakeout against Seattle that resulted in Stedman Bailey waltzing into the opposing endzone with impunity. Fake punts. Flea-flickers. Tailback throwbacks. Some of the play calls we saw in the NFL this decade were absolutely brilliant, and not only tricked opposing teams, but had fans at home second-guessing what they were actually seeing as they unfolded live. There's nothing like the all-around excitement of a trick play, and with a new decade finally here, it was only fitting that the NFL posted this video of the league's best trick plays of the past 10 years.

"Prepare to be amazed" is right. Make sure to keep your eyes peeled on this one, as it has some surprises in store that can be enjoyed right from your couch.

Here's to another decade of expecting the unexpected.
