Top 10 Greatest Forgotten Plays in NFL History | NFL Films 

LOL

🤣🤣😭😭

You don't expect such hilarity from NFL films.

It’s said, Malone thought they were saying “go Benny “ when actually they were saying “no Benny “

I love ever single one of those someone needs to bring them back

Agree he was great in that game 💯

Rams fans here- he left me here until 1999 Lolz JK Da wheels on da Bus go Vroom Vroom VROOM!!!!

After the "Dirty Bird 🐦" Falcons blew the lead.

From a Pats fan... You right. Soul left my damn body.

I WAS GOING TO COMMENT THIS

I rewind that every time. It truly is hilarious!

Would have been the best game-winning TD pass of all-time... :(

@@Beofware a flawless play, but was unfortunately (for Larry and Kurt) upstaged by an even more flawless play.

@@nick5422 ... That play was anything but flawless ;) If it was flawless, people wouldn't debate whether he got both toes in

@@Beofware if that’s not flawless, I don’t know what is. Perfect toe drag, perfect pass placement, etc etc. Just because people couldn’t see that it was perfect, doesn’t mean that it wasn’t. Everything had to go exactly right for that ball to be caught, and it did.

@@Beofware Well, he got one foot on top of this other foot so I guess that counts in the NFL. The real disaster was the Cards defense on that last series. One big stopper and the Stealers would have never been in the position for that gagging game winner. I'm still bitter.

@M is a great r

That had me dead 🤣

If you know you know 😂

Justified his inclusion as a comedian right there

The definition of irony

Poor Ricky

Well that’s not true

@@itzjj1036 20 years of winning football and winning 6 of 9 super bowls in that time span says otherwise JJ. why would you say its not true?

No the rams didn’t make a dynasty they ruined the dynasty they got 1 super bowl out of the greatest show on turf that’s BAD

That was the stupidest play call of all time. As a 49ers fan you have no idea how high I jumped out of my seat watching that play.

Thanks p

@@mikeybarboza3086 I mean it’s a dumb play call since we have marshawn lynch and a timeout. But statistics said it was a good play to run, butler just made an amazing play because he studied our film. But we definitely should have ran it Atleast once before

Blame your idiot coach. Still the dumbest decision ever in all of sports. At least fake it to Lynch and have Wilson run a bootleg

@Fries Honestly I am glad we won one. Imagine being a Cardinals fan having never won at all. Still sucks we got robbed in SB XL, but hey, one is certainly better than none. It's really hard to win a Super Bowl.

And back then they didn't have special rules for quarterbacks and wide receivers either.

It would have been so cool if a stabler had been in the NFL100. commercial....PROPPED up against a juke box...drinking a beer smoking a.cigarette and reading the playbook

It's hilarious just shows up drunk and run faster than running from cops

He learned that from Namath

Stabler was a badass. If ever there was a perfect fit nickname it was Snake.

To recent to be forgotten

What catch?

Joel Biju 28-3 is all I need to say

AB vs. JULIO highlights on our channel!

Sideline Scores stfu no one cares about your channel

Well... that and the Steelers touchdown wasn't good. He never had both feet touching.

goo.gl/vZuY3i Don't kid yourself. He had both feet down.

That is a ridiculously useless picture. Has he caught the ball yet? Don't just look for stuff that proves your point. Try to find the truth about stuff that's important to you.

thanksfernuthin it is a given that he caught the ball and had possession throughout the catch. The question lies in whether or not he had both feet down or not. And he did. And you have shown me nothing to prove you point besides the salt from your tears.

of course he did don't kid yourself

Still a legend. -laughing/grateful Bears fan

Repost

Zero Patriot Fans forget Plaxico's TD catch. We all remember it

#1 is why I never forget #3. Thank god I don't live in a timeline where Eli is told "You have a powerhouse RB in Brandon Jacobs, and instead you get picked off on the goal line"

David Johnson #31hunnit #RBMVP #2000SrimmageYards Maybe in 75 years they'll get another chance

He didn't even get two feet in bounds

David Johnson #31hunnit #RBMVP #2000SrimmageYards no it’s beautiful

Sebastian Mutu yes, he did

Adam Barnett no he tapped his second foot on top of his first foot that touched the ground about two inches from the ground No look on google

You, are completely right on all of these. (Except maybe the hook and lateral, which most people remember)

Those are good picks. At bare minimum, honorable mentions.

Great call !! That was the first play that came to my mind because I was 9 and at the time a huge cowboys fan. It broke my heart and it still bothers me to this day. Even though I've been a patriots fan now for 30 years. My first 5 years was as a cowboys fan. But everyone was back in 1981 :)

J-F Pilote that hook-and-lateral play was actually probably the most memorable from that game despite the Dolphins losing. It just signified how great of a game that was

these are honorable mentions then

i can understand this so much, the only thing that makes the butler pick hurt a little less is the thromp of the broncos just the year before, if it hadnt been for the seahawks winning the super bowl a year before, i dont think i could take the out come of superbowl 49. haven't watched it since it was live as well

Desean Jackson punt return for a touch down with 14 seconds left after the giants gave up a 20 point lead in the final 8 min of the game and tom cophlin yelling at dodge why did you punt it in bounds

@@rainbowsix94 People forget the Iggles put a good rush on Dodge and he had to get it off in a hurry.

#metoo

Yeah that was a rough one.

Come on, admit it. You thought that Seattle was gonna win after the Kearse catch. I was 99% positive that Beast Mode would score. The only question on my mind is that would Seattle leave enough time on the clock for Brady and co. to get the tying FG to send the game into overtime. Then Malcolm Morherfucking Butler got his INT. There’s a whole story about him and how Patriots practiced that play. The Seahawks executed that play horribly (obviously) but the other defender did a stellar job jamming Kearse at the line of scrimmage. Because he got jammed, he was unable to set the requisite pick on Butler, thus allowing Butler to make a play on the ball.

who is that

It’s sad

Exactly. That’s the level of stupidity they have on these newer episodes of Top 10 countdown. They used to have guys on who were knowledgeable on NFL history (before 2004). Now they just have D-List comedians, actors, and media folks who don’t know anyone before the 2000 Patriots era

Perhaps: I didn't realize that Dan Reeves made that play in the Ice Bowl.

REALLY. PRE SUPER BOWL. HE ALSO FUMBLED A KICK OFF AND THE PACKERS RUN IT IN FOR A TD. YEAR AFTER THE ICE BOWL. @ORIGINAL VIKINGSFAN

That Julio Jones catch was the most forgotton.

Best catch EVER.Tied with what's his name. ;)

@M I'm from Greece 🇬🇷 and will never forget 2004 winning and we weren't even supposed to be there because of another Balkan country didn't put their paperwork in order before the deadline. Futball will always be number 1 sport of the world 🌎!

@M so random lmao

@M Get that bs out of our Football community! No one really honestly gives a f*ck about your soccer bs

Mcnair's escape is a great one! Definitely should've at least gotten an honorable mention. That and Desean Jackson's juggling TD catch in the NFC Championship in 2008 before Kurt Warner won the game on the ensuing drive are two missing plays that I can think of. Another good one was Julio Jones' Super Bowl catch that should've put the Pats away in the infamous 28-3 comeback.

I think still probably the greatest SB recently, that was a great game. Pats vs Eagles was pretty good too(but we won't go into benching Butler. . .)

Unlike with the Tyree catch, winning ended up nerfing the impact of Kearse's grab...but I still remember it, and having the same feeling - "Again? You gotta be f*ckin' kidding me" LOL The Burress TD doesn't even bother me, I knew it had already slipped away. At least when we see the Kearse catch we know what comes next...

Same! Like in the moment, having seen the others, it would’ve really put a bee in my bonnet if that cost us A THIRD ONE. Like you gotta be kidding me, but we pulled out the win that time!

Not me. I posted above. It should be #1.

Ohhhh some of us remember..

@Harry Engel Super Bowl 17, not 18. Theismann would like to forget 18.

The only play I don't remember on this list is Benny Malone's TD

They still could have lost if Lawrence Pillars hadn't forced a fumble and Jim Stuckey recovered.

The pass was probably the correct call, honestly. Marshawn does not have a good track record in those situations, believe it or not.

wow you do it's incredible. it's not like it was 3 years ago or anything

mraulmadrid7 oh you're right, it's not like it's on a list of forgotten plays

that was an amazing catch. I too remember it. the ending left me sick as a steelers fan

And even though it was on the list one it was a super Bowl so it wasn’t forgotten 2 any real football fan knows about that play

AMEN... The Catch is overrated big time becuse of this game saver.

I was thinking the same thing as well. Definitely should have been in over the Burress catch. If you ask me who scored the game winning touchdown I would say Plaxico Burress.

Absolutely! Eric Wright saved the game with that tackle. Wright was a fantastic CB for the Niners, and that amazing play gets way forgotten and overlooked

I posted that above before I just read your post. LOL!!

I was a Cowboy fan and I thought Pearson was gone. The next play Danny White was sacked and fumbled. There would be no statue of "The Catch" at Levi's Stadium and Clark would be in the top three on this list.

It also shouldn't have counted due to at least two uncalled blocks in the back, but...Steelers, so, yeah.

But it’s not forgotten though. It may be the second most synonymous thing about that Super Bowl, but everyone remember that. I even remember Kenan playing James on weekend update the week after 😂 still outta breath from the run back 🤣🤣

Alshon Jeffrey #EAGLES #PHILLYPRIDE you got shutdown by that bum Sean smith

Tom Brady Shady #WOAT#MaddenCursed#OldFART yep I admit

Me too... who wouldn't. The guy is an exceptional talent and a model of professionalism. If you can hate on Larry, there's something wrong with you.

With the Cardinals in rebuild mode I hope he plays one more year... for the Patriots.

Tom Brady Shady... Alshon was not well covered by Smith at all... Foles played really bad and couldn’t get him the ball He was open a lot and should have gotten 4 or 5 times the amount of targets that he got

hearing "the start of a dynasty" by a rams player will always get a smile out of me. they were so right.

Not many. Mike's problem was he alienated everybody in the Colts' organization and fans with his big mouth.

AshEatsBullets Yep. That was one of the best tackles you'll ever see. And his strip sack last year of Matt Ryan with 8 minutes left. He made that comeback possible. Without those plays the Pats lose both games. He's a legitimate Super Bowl hero.

Hell yeah.. stopping beast mode at the 2 was epic.. but doing it with a shoulder that was dislocated? That was EPIC.

But they won the game so it’s not really a forgotten play but it was a good play tho

Most underrated player in superbowl history

Some of them are good but most of them suck

The German guy's kinda funny.

the german guy is hilarious just the way he talks

100% agreed

White guy humor is gay as hell

The 2006 super was against the seahawks not Cardinals those were diferent playoffs

@@rccar8676 Bettis fumbled at the goal line on a play that I still smh over. Nick Harper recovered the fumble and Rapis.... excuse me, Rothlessberger was the only thing between him and a Colts' TD. With time runnign out, Vanderjagt misses the 49 yard FG, which is the play they usually show w/o the previous fumble and run back.

Delsin I’m a cardinal fan and either team deserved to win that game it was a crazy game and that play was insane

sorry, what play?

That Julio Jones sideline diving catch in the Superbowl last year should be on this list! That was an amazing throw to fit it in there and even better catch (only to be out done but Edelman catch and Patriot win)!

Altanater007 Imo its too recent for it to be forgotten already

Delsin That catch by Jeff Janis is on another top 10 list

I thought this list was about plays that were good before they got upstaged...who's in charge here?

Most patriots fans were Seahawks fans until the 2015 season so I’d say most of them never knew about it in the first place

Mike Youngblood so ur now a rams fan? Smfh

Mike Youngblood haunts me to this day

As a combined Bears and Patriots fan, I was still closet Pats fan at this time (I will be dead honest, I am more of a Brady fan. To go from unwanted pick 199 to greatest of all time resonates, I don't see how people can hate the guy). I remember the Super Bowl party I was at and how so many people wanted the Pats to lose. I stepped outside after the Plaxico catch. (I will say I don't remember the Plaxico catch as much as Tyree, I just remember stepping outside when all these people were going nuts while I was in the agony of defeat). I couldn't understand how people did NOT want to see an undefeated season in their lifetime. Of all the misery from Bears screw ups and Pats title losses, this one is the one that still hurts. Like I get tight chested and pained every time I see the Tyree catch or anything. An undefeated season gone. We will likely never see it in our lifetime, just like a Super Bowl threepeat. I need to go watch something nice, I am feeling depressed now. My heart hurts.

Ike Taylor got beat on both of the touchdowns.Just saying

Greatest receiver, and one of the greatest players of all time, to not have won the Super Bowl.

Best reciver not to win was Randy Moss (Fitzs is incredible though)

B Smith he said "One of the greatest"

B Smith I think Fitz is better.

The fourth quarter especially.

Zach lmao true

I don’t know who any of the commentators are.

In all fairness, America seems to like pundits more than experts and opinions over fact on most topics. Facts are "boring". Opinions are "interesting". Look at most sports talk shows. It's not just an issue here...

Now the Julio catch in 51 should be on the list

I do a lot of FF when I watch these NFLN Top 10 videos.

Connor Orban that was just last year ...

It was a best of the rest

Connor Orban what about that amazing catch Edelman made in double coverage against the falcons

It was an honorable mention. They don't show those in the RU-vid uploads.

Its not really forgotten.

I assume you mean the one with 15 seconds left? I think that lot of fans remember it.

I love your videos man

Yes!

Even NFL Films forgot about that one

Zach Crutcher Sports Highlights I know and his scramble before the time out was one of the greatest efforts I've EVER seen!!!

Alshon Jeffrey #EAGLES #PHILLYPRIDE i never understand why they get comedians to begin with. they ruin every one of these videos

most of them if not all of them...

Alshon Jeffrey #EAGLES #PHILLYPRIDE didn't know they had Kevin Hart on here

they THINK they are

Idk I thought the old guy with the gruff voice was funny

Adriankool4skool nope it shouldnt

Adriankool4skool we are clones then

around 14:30 -- Do you find it ironic that Sean Payton did the exact same "surprise onside" in a SB down a score in 2009? I think he watched this game with Bill Cowher very carefully.

Looks like Thomas muller

Ethan Mercer I can see what you mean he kinda looks like him if he wasn’t a soccer player or “futbol” and became a comedien lol 😂

same

A little bit cringy

A1 Video gamer 34

Everyone remembers that though.

Who? Mike Jones....

That was a powerful run and then sea of hands happened smmfh

Altanater007 on my opinion the Julio catch was better

Definitely.

Patrick Manning shady Brady did choke to Eli to times while the two super bowls Ricky lost to Brady was fixed

cortezmauricio56 It us so dumb when people say Brady choked to Manning. The real forgotten plays were that the Patriots took the lead over the Giants before Eli responded. Both times, the Giants had to score a TD, a FG wasn't good enough and the Pats defense choked. In addition to that, in 2007 Brady hit Moss innthe hands TWICE on bombs that he dropped with 18 seconds left. If Moss hokds on to either of those, the Pats woukd have been in FG range to do it again. I guess you also forgot the Wes Welker drop in 2011. I guess that is Tom Brady choking too?

Paul Gaither it doesn’t matter. Everything is either Brady’s fault or no credit is given to Brady when the pats win. The haters are seriously delusional

Patrick Manning kxsjss

Its because of what happened 2 plays later that it is forgotten.

WHO???

Will Philipps who's the what from where?

Sturt Music or Julio Jones last year

Don’t worry, Panthers nation will never forget.

Are you serious. He punished them for deflategate because they deserved it. Heck before that he was deemed to be light on New England. He was light in his spygate punishment. Goodell is an unbiased commisner.

@@theunpopularopinionatedten4951 he still enjoyed it, assbag

@@theunpopularopinionatedten4951 Deflategate did not happen, but I guess they do not teach basic science in Tennessee. 😂

@@theunpopularopinionatedten4951 Ha. Deflategate? You mean that bullshit? The Wells Report was bullshit and proven bullshit. It's obvious science with those balls.

i really wish my Boy Wes Welker got a ring in his Superbowl Appearances

justin gies you mean every cardinals game in the last 14 years

Larry has carried the cardinals for the longest of time

Fitz was great. However, Warner had 350+ yds and 5 TDs that game with only 4 incomplete passes. Pretty sure that he played a big part in it.

You mean the now 16 years he carried Arizona on his back!

He Has Kyler Murray he is good if not better than Warner also on defense The Cards have Chandler Jones ,Budda Baker and Patrick Peterson not to mention Hopkins as well and Kenyan drake

The German dude was not funny at all, and that duo of musicians with the crazy hair had zero interest in talking about the topic.

hearing "the start of a dynasty" by a rams player will always get a smile out of me. they were so right.

Hightower’s tackle on marshawn lynch in sb49 at the 2

Its not forgotten most people just remember the ending

Charlie Tibbitts don’t forget Julio’s

1:15 - Actually, the Steelers couldn't just take a knee to run out the clock BECAUSE the Colts still had all 3 timeouts at their disposal.

I had to do some deep research to see how he won his 2nd - 3 catches for 30 yards and no playoff contributions for the 2006 Colts is super weak, but fair enough I guess.

@@michaelscott4909 But also is very last season so he would've lost a step and they had other recovers too that they would've used more

Amen!

Here's most forgotten domestic incident buried deep within that forgotten Bettis fumble: Harper's leg got stabbed by a knife by his wife the day before the game. There was wide speculation that if his legs are 100%, he isn't caught by Roethlisberger. #PepperidgeFarmRemembers www.espn.com/nfl/playoffs05/news/story?id=2293484

Yeah, he's a terrible ball carrier. They should have put him in a position where he doesn't have to carry the ball.

JE Y same lol, maybe like casual fans who watch highlights every now and then don’t remember that

That’s what I said when I saw it on this list, and if it is forgettable it shouldn’t be #3

Exactly plus the helmet catch should've been the play that made fans forget Brady's late go ahead touchdown to Moss that shoulda coulda won game and perfect season for Patriots

+JE Y I forgot how well he sold the cornerbackinto a very slight deke to the right.He did not really do anything but a stutterstep.Plax did not move his heat to the righ as a slant ,or turn his shoulder.It was so well done and the corner just lost 1 step and ---Bang! TD!!! That my friend was an amazingly good sell!!! a split second gave Plax 5 yards wide open!

It's forgettable because there is another play so widely remembered that followed. I remember watching SB42 cheering for Plax when he did that, but ask anybody what they remember about that superbowl and it's the Tyree catch.

fernspain lol good one😂

The best QB scramble in super bowl history!

I remember the NFL Films recap of that moment, being so dramatic, you almost think then the Titans would be winning.

That isnt forgotten

fernspain ，its a Superbowl saving tackle and a great play, and obviously not "forgotten".

And to think...if the Falcons didn’t choke last Super Bowl Julian Edelman would’ve made this list.

Jeaden Santos yup

Jeaden Santos I’m a cheater bro

Jeaden Santos Tom Brady still drove the team down the field for the field goal.

Dominic Mallano but imagine any other kicker literally Vinateri is probably the greatest kicker of all time and most of those Field Goals were 40+ and anyoyher kicker would be nervous but Vinateri has been there and done that so he’s used to it

cortezmauricio56 Hell yeah
