I literally busted a hole in my closet door with my hockey stick after that Favre INT to lose last seconds to the Saints in the championship game. 0 for4 in superbowls and blowing it ever since. Fun times I tell ya
We don’t mind if you replay some of the clips, also keep an eye on the time and score to see if it’s a last second game winner, also look for anything that says Wildcard/Divisional/NFC Championship/AFC Championship, those are all playoff games.
To piggyback onto this, it would be a good idea to learn some of the teams and how to identify them by uniform. Some moments are special because of a rivalry or because one team historically isn't as good. Packers/Bears games carry a lot more weight than Jaguars/Chiefs games and it's important to learn that to fully appreciate the sport.
Yeah that really annoyed me. Like with the Santonio Holmes catch, yeah that was an insane catch, but if this guy used his eyes and looked around the screen he would've realized that that was the play that won them the super bowl
@@loganholmes13 It only seems simple to you because you know what to look at. If you don't know what is going on at all then you wont be looking at the scoreboard let alone immediately understand it if you did
Similar to the Goal Line Dropout in Rugby League, except that after a Safety, the ball is free-kicked from the 20 yard line, and of course the GLD doesn't result in points.
14:30 Is Sean Taylor picking up that fumble ... I have to fight back tears seeing #21 💔 Hes my (and a lot of current player's) sports hero. He was murdered in a home invasion in Nov of 2007, dying of blood loss from a gunshot that severed an artery in his leg. He was home with his girlfriend and their young daughter at the time. Had his life not been ended so early he'd have become the greatest free safety to ever play in the NFL. Our team, and our fanbase, has never recovered... 💔💔💔😇 #RIP21
Have to understand the playoffs more. They play all year and only 12 teams make it. 6 in each conference, 4 divisional winners and two wild cards. Top two teams get a bye week, lower 4 play on what is called wild card weekend. The winners of that play the top two seeds in what is called the divisional round. Then the next week they have the conferences championships, two winners of those one from the AFC and one from the NFC play in the Superbowl. Most of these plays are either in or to end a playoff game. Only one trophy in the nfl can be won and that's the Lombardi, which the winners of the Superbowl receive. It's not just him all Europeans have a hard time understanding or never investigate. It's simple 16 regular season games to get to the tournament win the tournament win the whole thing.
Greatest comeback in SuperBowl history is when Tom Brady and the New England Patriots dropped their massive fucking dongers on the face of the Atlanta Falcons. Best forever remember that.
The Titans/Rams Super Bowl stop at the 1 yard line still haunts my dreams. I was there to watch it and sat there in shock for a few minutes. To give you a little history, the Titans were MASSIVE underdogs. The Rams were nicknamed “The Greatest Show On Turf”. The fact that the Titans even made it to the Super Bowl was a miracle. And then to be so close to winning it, only to be stopped 1 yard short, was devastating. And the “it’s a miracle!” video was nicknamed the “Music City Miracle”. It was the same season as the a Super Bowl run but it was the wildcard playoff game. Once again, we were underdogs and pulled off that trick play to win and move onto the next round. The stadium was shaking from all of the jumping up and down. It was insanity. That video angle didn’t do it justice.
So context to the moment at 7:13. That was in the Super Bowl. The Dolphins (in white)were undefeated and are the only team in NFL history to win every single game from the regular season through the Super Bowl. The Dolphins won the Super Bowl 14-7 but that mistake by the kicker allowed the Redskins to score their only 7 points.
You can see in the top of the screen that it shows the Down and distance: score of each team: then which quarter it is and the time remaining. The last spot is how much time they have left to get the play off If you see OT instead of 1-4, it means overtime. All of these were late in the 4th quarter or overtime. Many in the Super Bowl!
The greatest comeback of all time, and possibly the greatest Super Bowl ever. Bill Belichick and Tom Brady were in their seventh Super Bowl, but when Falcons QB Matt Ryan found Tevin Coleman midway through the third quarter it looked set to end in disappointment as Atlanta went ahead 28-3.
Small thing about the video that you wouldn't notice. But sometimes when they run along the goal line instead of just going in it is because the game is almost over and the clock stops when they score. So they trying to run as much time off the clock as possible. Edit: notice if you arn't a avid watcher that is.
No one should be mad if you stop and replay something you've never even seen. Its better, for me anyway, that you understand WHY it was important. Kepp it up bud.
I very much enjoy experiencing the videos with you. 🙂 Your rewinds to see something again make perfect sense. On some of those phenomenal runs: the runner is amazing to watch but the blocking by his teammates is ofttimes the unrecognized component.
i've been binging (bingeing?) your reaction vids recently - I like your style and you seem open-minded and curious about learning about all kinds of new stuff. keep it up!
There is such a long space of time between the last playoff game and the actual Super Bowl that often one team is overwhelmed, over confident, or both teams go into a "just don't lose" mindset, that either brings on a low scoring defensive game or a total blowout. So, often, the game doesn't live up to the hype. In the OTHER hand, the first playoff games (Wild Card Weekend) features teams that just barely made the playoffs and have absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain by going all out. THESE are always the most physical, innovative, fight inducing, trick play, heart stopping action, injury ridden and memorable games of the entire year! It's also where most of the big highlights seen on videos later originate. THAT'S what makes them "memorable."
This is one hell of a video, you know how some plays make you laugh? I still feel that way after being an NFL fan for 50 of my 55 years! That guy's favorite game I remember watching on TV!
Most of these clips are just from regular season games, but they're such big moments because each team only gets 16 regular season games to earn a spot in the playoffs. Imagine if you had the top 10 premier league teams play in their own league, only 18 matches each season, how important and epic each of those matches would be, because there's fewer opportunities to separate yourself from the other teams in the standings. That is why NFL regular season games are such high stakes, only 12 out of 32 teams make the playoffs, and each team only has 16 regular season games to get into the playoffs. When you watch these moments, the key is more about the time in the game and the score. The fact that it's a wild card game (round 1 of the playoffs) or the superbowl or a regular season game isn't as important as the context within the game itself. A lot of these TDs you're seeing are memorable because the team scoring them was down by 7 or less points with only a few seconds left to play in the game, basically they were in desperation mode. It's like a soccer team scoring a stoppage time winner. So when you watch these "most memorable moments" take a split second to take note of the time on the clock and the score of the game.
Okay, you are right, but that’s maybe the worst explanation of a fumble ever. A fumble is when a player has possession of the ball, then drops it before he is down.
I highly recommend that you react to "Music City Miracle - Actual TV Broadcast". This is one of the MOST controversial calls in NFL history, and decided this playoff game. It also contains the detailed explanation of what a lateral is, and how hair thin this call was. YOU are able to watch this as if for the first time. Tennessee Titans and especially Buffalo Bills fans have this as a defining moment.
The New York Giants beating the 16-0 New England Patriots in the Super Bowl was the most improbable victory in NFL history. Eli Manning came up big while he was the butt of jokes.
You caught something really important. Not only are some of these plays the best ever, they happened on the biggest of stages. Super Bowl, overtime, as time expired, etc. That's why they're so much more impressive than other videos just showing crazy plays during irrelevant games.
When a ball carrier is tackled in his own end zone, the result of the play is called a "Safety". When this happens, the defending team that made the tackle gets 2 points and the other team has to punt the ball to them from their own 20-yard line. To summarize, the reward for tackling a ball carrier in the end zone is 2 points, plus a getting the ball punted to you from your 20-yard line, which usually results in good field position to start your ensuing possession.
Like the other comments have said, watching memorable super bowls would be a better teaching mechanic than just watching specific plays, that way you can get a better understanding of the flow of the game, suspense, position roles, etc.
The catch at 13:50 is significant because the team on defense, the Patriots, needed one more stop to win the Super Bowl and become the first 19-0 undefeated team in NFL history. That miraculous catch led to the game winning touchdown to cap off what is likely the largest upset in NFL history, considering the team that won was only 9-7 and barely made the playoffs.
Fun fact about the run at 11:29. It was called the Beastquake. The running back was Marshawn Lynch nicknamed beast mode. That stadium was so loud when that play happened it registered as a magnitude 1 or 2 earthquake!! Which is insane!! A stadium made so much noise it was picked up on seismometers!! Hence the name Beastquake.
Titans fan here: Mike Keith is the best football announcer I've ever heard. He does the radio broadcast of the games, and has since the Titans came to Tennessee in the late 90s. He's so good that in Nashville you'll see quite a few people with their earpieces in listening to Mike Keith while they watch the game live in the stadium. He's famous for his "pregnant pause," meaning he waits to see what happens on big plays and doesn't just fill in the gaps with meaningless talk, and it sounds super exciting. He's the guy you commented on being an "iconic commentator.' You're not wrong. That play was dubbed the "Music City Miracle" because of Mike Keith's commentating. The play where they missed the touchdown by one yard was the next game, so heartbreaking. But you can hear Mike Keith's voice over that one, too. OK, I'll shut up now. Mike Keith is a treasure, second only to Dolly Parton, to us Tennesseans.
@11:27, that run is infamous. Widely considered (arguably) the best run in NFL history. It made the crowd go so wild that their reaction literally registered on the seismographs in the area, hence the moniker "The Beastquake" run.
You posed the question, “Greatest comeback in the Super Bowl. There’s a very good video showing Tom Brady’s six (?) Super Bowl wins. You watch that, react to it and you’ll have at least one answer to that question.
If I remember correctly falcons vs patriots a few years back was the crazy come back that no one saw coming. They were losing most of the game and then won.
And if an offensive player is tackled in the opposing teams endzone, it's called a touch back. The opposing team gets 2 points, and possession of the ball received from a kickoff.
You caught my own mistake. Thanks for pointing it out! No offense to anyone, but explaining based on lack of knowledge to others can confuse my own response. I feel like an idiot now. Deserved haha
As a Steelers fan my fav was the one at 6:04 ish. That was to win the Superbowl pretty much. Also what helps with context is looking at what quarter it is and how much time is left. Many of these are at the very end of the game to win it. Or overtime to win it. And most of these are playoffs or Superbowls. You can watch the best Superbowl highlights of all time
FYI... don’t feel bad about reversing it. A lotta times, we like to see the plays again too. Also, the catch by Pitt Antonio Brown was impressive by itself, but what makes it incredible is that he managed to get both his feet down inside the lines in spite of his crazy trajectory.
I love these football clips💫. My team Seahawks play tomorrow against their rivals 49ers, last game before the playoffs😁. It’s gonna be a great game. I would love to see a video on Russell Wilson the quarter back of the Seattle Seahawks he’s amazing!!!
@18:28 You probably didn't notice, but this play and the interception in the next clip were by the same player. Deion Sanders played both offense and defense. He was a great cornerback who played against Jerry Rice twice every season.
One of those you called an interception was actually called a fumble. Like where the ball was knocked out of the quarterbacks hand and taken back for a touchdown.
@1:35. That second clip (Wilson to Baldwin) shows the magic those two had together. Baldwin might be in my top five all-time favorite receivers just for his shear tenacity and cat-moves in the air. He caught balls that were seemingly uncatchable.
I’ll help you with some football lingo. When the DEFENSE either forces a fumble (that’s knocking it out of a runner’s hands) or intercepts the ball AND runs either of those scenarios back all the way for a touchdown, we refer to that as a PICK 6. They pick the ball off and run it back for 6 points to be followed by the kicker doing a PAT. Point After Try for 1 point.
sometimes the moment is memorable because of how crazy it was, sometimes it has more to do with the result. like if the game could effect your season, or if its the last play of the game, or the winning score.
Good stuff. @ 14:30 is called a fumble - not an interception. If the ball is stripped while a runner's on his feet or before a quarterback releases, it's a fumble.
Luka - When you watch part 2 there will be a blocked punt between the New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons at about 14:45. The video doesn't provide any context as to why it is so memorable so I'll provide it here. The Saints and Falcons are huge rivals (think Barcelona and Real Madrid) and have been so for a long time. This was the first game back in the Superdome (Saints' home stadium) after Hurricane Katrina. I don't know if you remember/know but about 16k people sheltered in the Superdome during the storm (and to put it nicely it did not work out well). The Saints were the one thing that held the city together and gave it hope following Katrina. The punt block was huge. There is a statue outside the stadium of it now. It became known as "The Rebirth of New Orleans". Great video on it linked below if you are interested. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rkIflqthSVw.html
If an offensive player is tackled in their own end zone it is a safety. The defensive team is awarded 2 points AND the offensive team has to free kick the ball to the defensive team which also gives them possession of the ball. (2 points + possession).
20:02 I attended this game. It was a playoff game. The "one yard short" loss Super Bowl game you already saw was from the same season, a few weeks later.
At 2:49 basically the receiver who jumped tried tricking the defense into thinking the ball was thrown to him but it was actually to the guy who caught it
15:20 to answer your question a little bit late, that would be a “Safety” and result in the defense being awarded 2 points and they would get the ball off a punt from the 35 yard line
best comeback in the Super Bowl happened just a few years ago, Falcons v Patriots, score wads 28-3. Patriots come back to win their 6th SB title overcoming the largest deficit in SB history.
The greatest comeback in NFL history is the 1992 AFC Wild Card Game Houston Oilers vs Buffalo Bills. Nothing has come close since then. It is unreal even today
If you are tackled in your own end zone, the other team gets the ball and two points. Same if you fumble out of the end zone. You do get to "Free Kick" like a punt to the other team.
Biggest Super Bowl comeback would be NE vs Atlanta but as a Bills fan I must direct you to Buffalo vs Houston comeback, the biggest comeback in the NFL
Super Bowl 52 is a good one to react to. Eagles vs Patriots (most offensive yards combined in a single game in LEAGUE HISTORY, most passing yards combined in a single game in LEAGUE HISTORY and more records were either broken or tied, and things that should've happened (certain patterns)...didn't happen)
A lot of the clips are playoffs, some are to get into the playoffs, some are just regular games against rivals 15:38 if the player is tackled in his end zone the other team doesn't get a touchdown but they do get a Safety which gives them 2 points
the NFL made a list of the top 100 plays of all time this year in honor of their 100th season. You should react to those (a lot of them weren't on here, including the number 1)
Just to give a little context on the last play. Celebrating on the star. T.O. Terrell Owens played for the cowboys so it makes it that much more interesting.
