Top 10 NFL Walkoff Seasons | NFL Films 

Steven Cook what Happened to Brown??

Kierston Deloach He was speeding in his Corvette and crashed into a light pole killing himself and his 12 year old nephew.

Rip Jerome Brown He will be missed

Brown died due to his own irresponsible behavior. It's one thing for him to be driving over 100mph but he had his nephew with him.

Because you've never done anything irresponsible in your life, you can talk, right? Ninja please. People make mistakes, especially when they have so much money and success at a young age, the tendency is to feel immortal and push the limits without even realizing it. Don't blame or shame, exclaim. For the simple tragedy it was that cost two lives far too soon.

Probably because he wasn't at the twilight of his career like others were.

jacob robson why? There’s 1000’s of other players behind him being top 10 alone is respectful. Since when is spot 10 on a top 10 disrespectful.

@@brandonsherer7913 That's my thinking too. His retirement was totally unexpected. Barry had a few years left in him.

No it's not! Elway retired after winning a SUPERBOWL! There is no walk-off better than that!

@@HereIsWisdom1318 well yeah but Barry should still be top 5

Sterling Sharpe was my first favorite Packer player. Just an incredible guy to watch when you're just starting to watch football and you're 5-6 years old. He was almost like a God to me then.

Your boy Antonio Freeman and who was #2 WR. I can't remember.

It’s so sad to think about what Sterling Sharpe could have been if he had been with the Packers in 95-98. Sharpe was only in the league for 5 or 6 years when he got hurt and just look at his numbers. He was a once in a generation WR. And look at the dominant teams of the NFC. Cowboys had Emmitt Smith, Aikman and Irvin, 49ers had Watters, Young and Rice, and the Packers had Dorsey Levens (really under appreciated) Favre and Sharpe. If Sharpe could have played in 95, maybe they win one or two more and win the #1 seed or go to Texas Stadium and instead of Favre fumbling and costing them the game, they score and put the game out of the reach of the Cowboys and win a Super Bowl. Then they are back to back champs in 97. Maybe if Sharpe is healthy and they have Robert Brooks and Antonio Freeman, they don’t get upset and they are triple world champions. And that would only be Sharpe’s 10th season! They could have won maybe another or two. Maybe if they keep winning, Mike Holmgren stays. It’s really had to say, but Sharpe staying healthy would have changed the entirety of the late 90s.

Shannon Sharpe has admitted in past interviews that Sterling was a way better athlete than him. If injury didn't derail his career, who knows man... Green Bay might've had at least 1 more championship, at least I think so. At least he got a ring before having to tap out. Many never even get the chance.

@@geegarcia7858 Sterling never got a ring. He retired in 94.

@Heisenberg-SchrodingerEmc2 how do you have Peterson ahead of Payton

@Jack Trippin777 Remember, Barry was a runner, Reggie was a superior pass rusher. And Barry was about 100 pounds lighter. If it was a pass play, his quarterback would have been destroyed.

Sometimes it looked like barry broke his own ankles. Watch how they bend. Like rubber bands

Pull up Barry breaking rod Woodson ankle LITERALLY!!!

Or the one where he does John Lynch absolutely dirty

this is the comment i was looking for. yes he should've.

Kim Chi barry barely hit holes his whole career...

Kim Chi he averaged 5.0 yards per carry something Eddie George averaged 3.6 from hitting holes couldn’t do.. Barry could see things most couldn’t and he probably felt like he had to hit a home run every time he touched the ball smh 🤦🏾‍♂️

@@kimchi2780 Just don't talk you don't know beans about Sanders or the Lions. Really in his 9th season he rushed for 2056 yards. You are so full of it you stink.

Agree, Jim brown should be number 1 and Barry #2. The City of Detroit had a huge parade planned for when he broke Walter Paytons rushing record. They had it all figured out when he would break it because he was so consistent. They never ever thought he would just up and quit at the height of his career. Total shock across the football world when he quit. No warning either. Other than jim brown the rest on this list were not the WTF as when Sanders quit. Walter Peytons

And if he had played 5 more Seasons with The Giants, hw would have won 2 Super Bowls, just saying. Then they would have had no choice but to put him in The Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.

I was about to say it wasnt appropriate to put him on this list but they put jerome brown on it so i had to erase what i wrote previously and now say i have to agree with you 100% and hes in the hall of fame so not to take anything from brown but how do you overlook Thomas who was a game changer a down changer just a master of his craft sometimes the nfl films crew get it wrong and this is one of them

To be fair..99 was probably DTs worst season stat wise...but yeah, could be said he still impacted things on the field as much as Jerome in 91

This list is guys who had great walk-off seasons. Thomas only had 7 sacks in his last season.

@@unkledoda420LOL, how great was Thomas when we say that getting 7 sacks is prefaced with "only" when 7 sacks is a pretty good season especially for a linebacker.

Yes but also Strahan. Won the super bowl with a dominant performance

George Thorogood sure

Sure as in you agree or sure like you think its not true?

He’s a free agent now

I doubt anyone will read all or any of this, but I can't sleep and it'll feel personally satisfying albeit mostly pointless in the grand scheme of things to post. People hating on Calvin either pay attention only to stats and most likely didn't watch many of his games to see how much attention he took from the defense, resulting in opportunities and increased stats for other receivers, backs, and ends, or tend to forget that he was playing for the freaking Detroit Lions who in his last 2 seasons ranked among the bottom 5 in the league in rushing attempts and rushing yards, coming in dead last in yards gained and ypc in 2015. He experienced incompetent coaches with no offensive game plan more intricate than "lets hope Calvin has a good game or distracts the defense so someone else can" which came to a head with the Colts reject Caldwell who QB coached one of the best QBs ever and rode the coattails of Peytons statistical success every year following, somehow allowing the offense to underperform when it mattered most to a laughable postseason record during his QB mentoring tenure not including their SB season in 06, of 3-6, while having pretty solid pass catchers with Harrison, Reggie, Dallas, Edgerrin, Addai, hell even Stoakley and Collie could catch enough passes to warrant their 3rd spot on the depth charts. Their single Superbowl appearance came against possibly one of the worst starting QBs to make it that far maybe ever (Including Trent Difler (misspelled purposely because he was mean to me at a celebrity golf tournament of which I refuse to forget)) who managed one short TD, and then threw another one to the Colts to even out the score. That game would have looked way worse if Hester hadn't returned the kickoff for more than twice as many yards as Grossman passed for in the first 3 quarters. 118 of his 165 yards passing came in the 4th with series ends of, INT returned for TD, INT, Turnover on Downs, End of Regulation. It was so bad that 25% of his completions and just over 20% of his yards came on the last drive where they just made it past midfield as time expired. You must mean his last couple seasons in 2013, 14 and 15, when the Lions decided to get him a competent #2 receiver in Golden Tate in 2014 who jumped from #31 in Overall in yards and #46 in Total Receptions in 2013 with Seattle, to #6 in Receptions and #7 in overall yards with Stafford possesses a cannon, but has typically made two bad throws for every good one. Few more unnecessary stats, in 2013 the top 3 players in total receptions for the Lions after CJ were Reggie Bush, Joique Bell, and Brandon Pettigrew who combined for 148 receptions for 1,469 yards that year to Calvin's 1492 yards on 84 catches while also missing 2 games. He was 17th in receptions, 3rd in yards, netting 7 yards less than Antonio Brown despite playing in 2 fewer games, tied for 5th in receiving TDs and averaged slightly more than 106.6 yards per game which was second only to Josh Gordon's freak year. What's really crazy in 2015 his final season, he still ranked 11th in receptions but managed to open up the field for Golden Tate to rank 10th, and Theo Riddick to rank 21st overall combining for 170 receptions and over 1,500 yards. In his last season with 88 catches (11th) for 1,214 yards (10th) and 9 scores (T-14th), he had fairly similar stat lines to Fitz, A.J. Green, and Gronk, none of whom anyone would have considered to have had an offseason. I could write more but ugh, no more energy or mental concentration for semi-accurate statistical analysis. Great powers be with any who attempt to read this.

Not true

Yes and no. Barry wanted to win more than anyone he didn't care about stats he wanted the win. On top of that he hated the media if he played five more years and his last year says I'm retiring or his last year says it. The media would be all over him and like every legend would have the whole media circus farewell tour. He was classy and quiet, he tipped the ball to the ref after every TD and maybe first down or down and he tries to have minimal media before, during and after each game. Lions back then weren't going to win it all and over 20 years later still isn't close. Lions need him, Lane and Megatron to be playing it's too bad all three couldn't be on this team they'd easily be a dynasty heck berry and Lane or lane and megatron would be with this team. They need a corner and WR or RB. Yeah they got all three, but they need depth a SB team has depth which is why the lions never and may never win a Lombardi.

Lions need to just end the organization

@@kurapicrip1920 absolutely true

@@ryanstatt9910 dude it’s been two years I forgot why I said that

No, they don't.

Couldn't agree more Mr Mrkneller what reason did he have to stay? Lions traded Lomas Brown a Pro Bowl blocker and others

He had to quit early. The kind of RB he was, any kind of physical drop off would have his performance drop off of a cliff. You can see those bigger guys prolong their careers past their physical prime, but guys that rely on evasion like Barry did have no chance once they lose a step.

It was more than just that. He was drained. He said in an interview it takes everything in you to play this game and by the end, he just didn't have that drive and to play only to break Payton's record was not something he felt he could do.

I agree with Emmet Smith, Barry Sanders would have passed 20,000 Yards Rushing, if he had not retired when he did.

Those Browns Teams were ahead of their time.

What a loser

Wow, just no words to describe this

Damn, thought I might be able to snag the first comment about that flub. :P You win a cookie.

I did.

Even the editors wanted Elway to be higher on the list. XD

Lose

Yeah, and that poor kid was only 12 years old.

Then they turn around and basically do the same to Megatron. The Lions are the definitive dysfunctional franchise.

I would say the run and shoot was an attempt to build around him Overloading the passing targets and forcing opponents to take away from the box

Walter Peyton is better

I personally think that Jim brown is the best, but barry was great too

Jim Brown = Hands Down. That Rhymes

Payton was better in my opinion but I really love Sanders also but I put brown maybe 3rd or 4th in my opinion anyways

no google plus goat of running backs but his teams sucked and so no rings, a running back can’t win you games, he can give you scores from runs but he can’t toss the ball

So true Gannon was incredible in his MVP season I love how he could throw from all those arm angles. I think people forget who good Gannon was late in his career because the mess the Super Bowl was.

Bill Callahan pulled a Kyle shanahan

Steven Kunzer Bill Callahan pulled a Kyle shanahan before the super bowl

D. Page am I the only dude who now has a annoyance for German comedians

Peyton was also good in his older years

That's the way a dime should be

That doesn't make you number 1. That was the only thing impressive about his season. If you paid attention, he also missed 4 regular season games and the reason the Broncos were successful on offense that year was because of Terrell Davis' 2,000 yard season not Elway. Since you seemingly didn't pay attention, Jim Brown went out winning the league MVP and was unanimously considered the greatest player in the history of the NFL at the time, and obviously still in his prime being still considered the best player in the league when he retired. Winning a Super Bowl MVP is nice, but it's one game. Larry Brown & Desmond Howard have Super Bowl MVPs too. This is about walkoff seasons, and had it not been for the Super Bowl MVP, Elway wouldn't even be in consideration for the list at all. That doesn't bump you up from not even belonging in the conversation to number 1.

Yeah but he was ahead of his time he was bigger than most of the linebackers he played against. In the sanders era, he would have been a great back but no way he is putting up better numbers than barry. The players were so much bigger and faster by then

That's the way to do it because with all the rule changes it's hard to call a true goat. Dbs in the 70s could assault wrs. Now they cant touch them.

If it wasn’t for injuries Sterling would’ve went down as one of the best WRs in the history of the NFL.

OMG that's where i know his face from!!!

Lol 😂

Well, he is German. :)

He is so painfully effeminate. No wonder the Muslims conquered Germany with ease.

I love him

The story that never ends

I, as a German living in Germany, didnt even know him. But yeah, he is the perfect example of a German trying to be funny

Not to mention that in his last playoff win he had more touchdowns than incompletions and a perfect QB rating(29 of 33 for 379 yards and 5 TD's). Had he not gotten knocked out with a dirty hit he might have played a couple more seasons.

Then another one 4 years later, and he wouldn't shut up.

True but I think he deserved a SB win. He basically carried the Giants for a few seasons cus Eli was trash and still trash. Those 07 and 11 Giants championships had A LOT of luck involved lol. In the NFL the best team doesn’t always win the SB cus it’s 1 game, which players and teams can have a bad day. That’s why at the minimum I think either the Conference championship games should be a best of 3 or the SB should be a best of 3.

@@mikeypark2917 u know the toll one football game has on u imagine playing 3

He is a gem

@@Madvillainy48 He’s a cubic zirconia.

90% of these dummies commenting are clueless.

@@Madvillainy48 He's an idiot.

Same with Adam Rank

Haha how bout that lol

@@coreycook1282 are u from glassboro? I may have played against u.

Sick!! He ain’t no hero!

The Eagles from the late 1980's to early 1990's were on the verge of being a great team. They had loads of talent but unfortunately things happened and they didn't win a championship.

Yea very disappointed alot of missed memories for fans but i guess his brother made up for it what could have been sterling against shannon in that super bowl maybe green bay would have won maybe not we wont know 90s football was full of great players and loved watching every sunday and would wake up and read the sports page of the Houston chronicle all the head to head matchups and superbowl sunday was a massive party at my house growing up

Yeah he was. Being from Detroit, I had to watch Sterling was just a Lion killer his whole career. That was cut so short. He was just so freaking good at absolutely everything it was downright scary.

Sterling was definitely on Jerrys level . Just think how sterlings stats would have been if he started off with qbs like Montana and Young!!

No way on rice level 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Whaaaaaaaaaaat?! Are you high?

Wait, Really?

@@brandonlizza9402it’s true

This was made in 2017

Nah brah

Nah, that's actually highly unlikely. What you have to realize is that RBs like Barry who rely on evasion drop off much more quickly once they lose any athleticism. He made a living off of making tacklers miss & juking out guys. Once he lost a step, it would have been bad for him.

The season a whole doesn't reflect that, that's why

Barry is the RB GOAT. If you think a running back should be a wide receiver in the backfield than he might not be, but for pure runner Barry is king.

As a Packers fan I was absolutely ecstatic when Barry retired. I also couldn’t stand Herman Moore.

As a NFL Fan The John Elway Farewell was way better than the Seinfeld Finals season. Elway retires with 2 straight super Bowls, Super Bowl MVP and NFL MVP he should be a Emmy winner period

@@ashtynsimank3005 Seinfeld is OVERRATED.

Probably because Manning's last year he was a reanimated corpse.

My guy he literally almost cost them the season and anyone can retire at the superbowl. Doesn't make it a great farewell season

Um, Jerome Brown's death was very much under his control unless someone else was driving that car at 100mph. Stop making excuses for bad behavior. Not to mention he murdered his own nephew in the process.

Roger The Dodger did take a lot of hits. He was a scrambling qb and you could actually hit the qb in those days. Shannon Sharpe once said I'm a HOF receiver & I'm not even the best receiver in my own family. He was talking about Sterling

I truly feel sorry for his audiences

@@ryanstatt9910 i think he will be one of the ones killed off early in Suicide Squad

Kasey Martinez Which happened on what would have been Jerome Brown's 53rd birthday

same

Unfortunately lol

41 - 33

@@rockthahouse1 I'm so happy I had the chance to see him play at the Vet.

Bay Area love 💘 from Matt Boggs ('49ers-Joe Montana; John Elway-Stanford). And, yes, Seinfeld is OVERRATED.

Subjective, kid, never objective

He has no business being number 1. Other people have won championships in their final seasons, and he was not even close to the primary reason they made the Super Bowl. Without Terrell Davis, they don't even come close. It would be laughable to give a guy who missed 4 games and didn't even put up special numbers in the games he did play in the regular season the number 1 spot.
