That throw bounced off of all 4 of that defender's limbs and if literally any of those hits hadn't happened the Pats drive would have died right there. The rest of the 2nd half you can attribute to inconsistent play and some other stuff, but there is no way you could hypothetically make a better play on that ball to make that not happen. Just angles of deflection being bizarre due to the shape of the football.
A strong argument can be made that the luckiest play in Bills' history was Andy Dalton's pass to Tyler Boyd to beat the Ravens and break the Bills the 17-year playoff drought.
Nothing unlucky about it. In 3 of 4 of those they got beat up with the exception of one half vs. Dallas where I think they actually had the lead before blowing it in second half. Against the Giants they lost and were I believe a 7 point favorite. That was a tough 47 yard FG at the end. No gimme.
New England's unluckiest plays include (but are not limited to) Eli Manning (to Tyree), Eli Manning (to Manningham), Eli Manning (to Burris), and Gronk to the ground (vs. Drake.)
Notice how so many of the “unluckiest” plays come against the Patriots? I’d forgotten how lucky they got on so many of those Super Bowl runs. Thanks god that’s over
@@heavyhauler224 This is definitely unfortunate but imo they didn't both have control... (eagles fan so non biased). However, I can see where the rulebook's argument is coming from. Personally I'm on the make it incomplete train, maybe give the offense another untimed down if the time in the half expires but should not be a TD.
@@heavyhauler224 they didn’t both have control. In this replay it looks like it but from other angles it’s clear the packers play gets it, comes down with it and the Seahawks receiver doesn’t even grab the ball until e defender is already down in the end zone with it
I think the Niners’ unluckiest moment could’ve been the 2011 NFC championship where the kick returner touched the ball and gave the giants another chance to make a final drive, or maybe even just this year where Tartt dropped the interception :(
By the way he had 3 fumbles in that game, at least I think it was 3 definitely 2. That one really hurt but so did the SB losses or the stupid tip against Seattle.
@@xxcheeznutzxx5245 I was ten years old when that happened and I was never happier in my life. Giants fan btw. We are way to many teams unluckiest moments
Pat Summerall: "There will be no Threepeat". It was crushing. It wasn't an ordinary season-ending playoff lost. It had taken 3 years to get to that position. Such an opportunity wasn't going to come again. And they literally fumbled it away.
That hook and ladder with the missed PAT had lesser significance because it was regular season, but it was more of a blooper than a missed play. I could see a point for either, but bad luck certainly follows the Saints.
I definitely thought the Malcolm Butler interception would be the Pats luckiest and I think every single Pats fan, hell probably every football fan, knew what the unluckiest one would be although I think you could make an argument for it being Tom Brady's dropped catch in super bowl 52 that helmet catch will always haunt us
Fair, but really that drop came in like the second quarter, they still ended up with a lead in the 4th. I’d even say the strip sack was more unlucky, cuz the eagles hadn’t gotten a stop in forever before that
@@realitities2 I still see the dropped catch as "unluckier" because I feel like at least 95/100 times Tom catches that ball whereas the strip sack ,although more impactful, seems way more common. I guess it kinda depends on the way your looking at "unlucky" I'm looking at it more as the likelihood of something happening but if you look at it from like a timing or impact perspective then I would 100% agree with you.
I hate Tom Brady well I don’t hate him but everyone calls him the goat and but he gets so lucky in the championships and wild cards and they just are like “he’s a goat”
As a ravens fan I remember the Billy Cundiff missed kick. I was 10 years old and I uncontrollably sobbed for probably close to 30 minutes after it happened. Still gives me chills when I think about it 🙂🙂
Sadly, that 2011 team was probably the best Ravens team of that era. The 2010 team the year before was even better than the team that won it all in 2012.
Well, that play did happen in a SB which Washington won. If the Dolphins had scored a TD there then it could have helped change the outcome of the game.
I think there should be a differentiation between something purely lucky to happen to a team, like the Chiefs got when Tim Brown ran into the official, vs the luck you get when someone on the other team does something grossly stupid. Those are different kinds of luck imo.
It took me a bit to figure out why the Santonio Holmes SB winning catch was "Unluckiest", then i finally realized it was for the Cardinals. Same with the immaculate reception being the "unluckiest" for the Raiders and of course the "luckiest" for the Steelers.
Exactly. What kind of history do the Cardinals have? They were playing in their first Super Bowl, they were that close to winning it, and it got stolen from them on that play.
the unluckiest either Minneapolis miracle or the missed passed interference against the rams that created the worst super bowl ever with the rams scoring 3 points
I know the One yard short is pretty lucky but it’s some making a good play in the end. I think The Rams’ should probably have been the no call against the saints lmao

An amazing collection of memories that I LOVED watching. I know the original ‘Hail Mary’ is one of the greatest moments in NFL history, but as a Cowboys fan, it’s unfortunate none greater have occurred since then. I could have also brought up the BS no catch call in the Packers-Cowboys playoff game (at least it only took the officials 3 years to admit their mistake,) and I hated the Tony Romo botched snap, but I would have chosen the Thanksgiving snow game where Leon Lett unnecessarily tried to recover the blocked FG, which ended up costing them the game.
The Romo fumble was a better choice IMO than Leon Lett. Romo's play looks like it just wasn't his luck. Lett's gaffe on that game was a boneheaded play. Lett getting the ball stripped from him by Don Beebe in a Super Bowl was the same. Score first, then showboat, not the other way around.
@Terrell070 and with the momentum Dallas had gained, I feel they probably could have and would have won that one. The Romo gaffe is epic and terrible and ridiculous, but Jackie Smith ol' Mr. Reliable screwing up the most easy and perfect of catches is timeless and imo easily the one that sticks out. It's really more of an error than unlucky, but it was a major domino in the chain that lost Dallas that game against an equal (not better) Steelers team
@@lougiacobbi725 what was lucky about it? Eli escaped pressure and threw the ball, all him no luck. Tyree Jumps and makes an incredible grab in the superbowl with his own hands and helmet too I guess, no tip or anything, and it's only lucky?
As soon as I saw this title, as a Ravens fan, I immediately thought Mile High Miracle and Cundfiff. I'm glad the Evans drop was included. I still remember exactly where I was for both of those games. The crazy highs and lows of football.
Being a Broncos fan, that damn play is inescapable; I see it everywhere. I was watching a video exposing a damn scam and out of nowhere the guy played the forbidden clip. It haunts me.
As a Titans fan, I knew what they’d be. I can remember exactly where I was when The Music City Miracle happened but oddly enough I can’t remember where I was when Dyson came up short in the Super Bowl. I do remember that that entire year had several “lucky moments” for the Titans.
What's funny was the first 55 minutes, the game was a defensive battle before the Bengals touchdown drive that left the Broncos with oh so much time left. Ar least the Bengals and Broncos share a similarity with their luckiest play.
Big Ben throwing into triple coverage for a game winning TD instead of playing it conservative knowing a field goal tied will forever be a top 10 Super Bowl moment
The two for Minnesota were exactly what I thought they’d be. I landed on my knees in tears when Gary missed that field goal against Atlanta, costing us a trip to the SB. And when Keenum connected with Diggs for the Minneapolis Miracle, I lost my voice from yelling so loud. I love this team, no matter how often they break my heart. Next season will be our season, though. 😂
The unluckiest Patriots moment should have been the Philly Special. As an Eagles fan that Foles touchdown and the confused look on Matt Patricia's face was my favorite moment as a sports fan.
at 7:40 when talking about it being only third down and how he didn't throw the ball into the ground for the botched field goal attempt and calling that in incomplete pass there for giving them another chance to kick to field goal... is the not the same thing as him throwing to the the guy down field and not catching it???
I’m not a Steelers or Cardinals fan, but I was still like ‘did he really catch that?’ I hated to think how rarely the Cardinals and their fans see good fortune, and when they finally did, it went away just like that. Fantastic game, however.
The whole reason why we have the term Hail Mary for deep long pass is because of Roger Staubach and the Dallas Cowboys. He was Catholic and said in a postgame interview after someone asked what play he called, that he just said a Hail Mary, hoped for the best, and then told the guys to just go deep. And then someone else coined that play the Hail Mary and it stuck. Here’s that video, I’m not surprised it was used for Cowboys luckiest play ever. Go Cowboys!!
You could argue for any of the miracles @ the Meadowlands the Eagles accomplished & each of them uniquely different and unexpected: a botched handoff fumbled and returned for a TD, a blocked FG kick advanced for a TD & a bobbled punt advanced for a TD. What a trifecta.
The guy only led the nfl in comeback wins from 06-15, and had crazy wins clutch wins to get into playoffs like beating the 13-0 saints in 09, or beating the 11-2 Packers in 07 to get the first seed, or having the greatest December of all time with 2 broken bones in his back, or beating eagles 3 times, beating them week 17 to get into playoffs then beating them again the next week in wild card. Anyways the bobbled snap was unlucky considering that was the only season in nfl history that field goals were forced to use those new slick balls. After the issues it caused in 06 they went back to normal balls. Basically any other season it would not have happened. Still Parcells should not have had his starting qb hold the ball. Romo spends the entire game holding, and throwing the usual balls. Used to that ball. Then randomly having to catch some new slick ball for a field goal. Also that was not the most unluckiest play for cowboys. I would say the ref getting in the way during one of the 70s super bowl was.
@@jackwilson5152 Cool. Pity all those other "great" moments led to nothing but 2 playoff wins & not getting his Cowboys teams past the Divisional round.
@@davidparkes7741 shoot I'll take those great moments, I'm amazed that Romo even got 2 playoffs wins with those trash teams. And the refs still had to prevent him from getting to the nfc championship in 2014, even with a trash defense. Because they were literally destroying everyone in December. So the refs had to keep Detroit from getting smoked, then keep green Bay from losing in the divisional. The only unfortunate thing is not playing Romo the one time he could have played on a great overall team.
The NFCCG 2014 destroyed me to this day and I never recovered from it. We did got the 1 yard legendary moment from the SB. But man I do wonder " What IF " the Packers won. Rodgers would at least been to 2 SB ( win or lose ), adding to his legacy and the whole Rodgers playoffs narrative might be different and and all the Great Players we had that year would have tasted SB appearances. That was SURELY one of GBP BEST year to win the SB
We really should have smoked Seattle, Cowboys had like 4 dropped third downs. Like extremely easy catches that were dropped. Then Witten catching that long ball and fumbling it. Then with 6 minutes left in the game Terry Glenn fumbles and flings the ball backwards to the endzone to give Seattle 2 points for a safety, and Seattle the ball back, And Seattle of course scores a td. So all of that within a few minutes for Seattle to take the lead by 1. Then cowboys drive down, Witten somehow doesn't get the first down with an inch to go. So cowboys kick a field goal, and the snap is bobbled. Any other year that snap would not have been bobbled. Because that was the only year the nfl had that rule where field goal kicks had to use those new slick balls. After the issues it caused in 06 they removed that rule.
I know the Brett Favre interception and river city relay is insane, but I'd still say that the Saints luckiest moment was when they won against the ravens because Justin Tuckers missed his first ever extra point. 16:46
Guesses for my Seahawks: Luckiest: Kearses TD in overtime to send us to Super Bowl 49. Unluckiest: I don’t even have to tell you. I assume im going to be correct on at least the unlucky one Edit: That Tate catch was definitely not a interception..
2014 vs the Seahawks still makes me mad as a packers fan , weird how seahawks were playing with house money to getting into that sb to being shamed for not giving it to beastmode on the 1 yard lime smh....
When your luckiest moment in NFL history is winning a coin toss , you have to know that you are truly cursed.
Ya
Don't even have to mention the team, and lots know which team you're talking about

All the Barry runs, and Megatron catches to choose from, and ours is a coin toss called incorrectly 😂
Atlanta’s unluckiest moment should just be the entire second half of SB51
Yep
Fr how did they not score any more points after
i don’t think that’s “unlucky” that’s just straight up choking big time in big games.

Only the missed Scott Norwood kick was unlucky. Bills got destroyed in the other three Super Bowl losses.

That Manningham catch wasn't luck, it was skill.
The manningham play had nothing to do with luck and neither was the pass to burress. Burress put such a nasty move on Hobbs that he was wide open.
AKA, Bill Belichick thinks Ryan Tannehill is capable of throwing the ball further than twenty yards and puts in a tight end to play safety.

Well, that play did happen in a SB which Washington won. If the Dolphins had scored a TD there then it could have helped change the outcome of the game.
It was crucial to that game because it allowed Washington to keep running Riggins rather than having to manage the clock being down two possessions.

You and me both... we are seriously a snakebites team! Love my Cards from Sydney, Australia
17:18 this was before one of the craziest plays I've seen, all to be nothing because a Field goal. Big oof on that one
I have to say that a lot of the luckiest plays were actually unusually skillful plays. Entertaining none the less.
Loving how they made this a compilation 💯💯💯🏈🏈🏈
That Santonio Holmes toe tap catch lives rent free in my head still, unfortunately
Yeah what's even worst when you look back at it you'll see his second foot being dragon on his other, he never got the other foot down.
That wasn’t even the unluckiest play of that game! It was the James Harrison INT for a TD at the end of the first half.
The two for Minnesota were exactly what I thought they’d be. I landed on my knees in tears when Gary missed that field goal against Atlanta, costing us a trip to the SB. And when Keenum connected with Diggs for the Minneapolis Miracle, I lost my voice from yelling so loud. I love this team, no matter how often they break my heart.
Next season will be our season, though. 😂
Lol
The unluckiest Patriots moment should have been the Philly Special. As an Eagles fan that Foles touchdown and the confused look on Matt Patricia's face was my favorite moment as a sports fan.
Jesse James definitely caught that. still burns to this day
at 7:40 when talking about it being only third down and how he didn't throw the ball into the ground for the botched field goal attempt and calling that in incomplete pass there for giving them another chance to kick to field goal... is the not the same thing as him throwing to the the guy down field and not catching it???
The amount of flags that have benefited the Pats are unparalleled.
🤡
4:39 - 4:42, seven years ago and I still remember that play like it was just yesterday.
I knew it was that game even if u hadn’t said 7 years…still can’t recover from it…
I love how the video starts and then ends with the exact same play. That helmet catch still gives me nightmares.
When I read the title, as a Bears fan, it Gave me PTSD.
The best part of this video is that it's bookended by the same play. Whoever ordered these clips understood the assignment.
That santonio holmes td against the cardinals is still haunting to this day
I know right
I’m not a Steelers or Cardinals fan, but I was still like ‘did he really catch that?’ I hated to think how rarely the Cardinals and their fans see good fortune, and when they finally did, it went away just like that. Fantastic game, however.
I love how Dyson made the luckiest and unluckiest moment for the titans
Mike Jones' tackle at the one yard line in the SB was not luck, he was expecting it and made a great play.
The whole reason why we have the term Hail Mary for deep long pass is because of Roger Staubach and the Dallas Cowboys. He was Catholic and said in a postgame interview after someone asked what play he called, that he just said a Hail Mary, hoped for the best, and then told the guys to just go deep. And then someone else coined that play the Hail Mary and it stuck. Here’s that video, I’m not surprised it was used for Cowboys luckiest play ever. Go Cowboys!!
Every Titans fan remembers the pain of being on the 1 yard line with no time left 😭
ong
For a Seahawks fan that Circus catch by Kerse in the Super Bowl was something else
I’m a Giants fan and I think our unluckiest moment was that Desean Jackson punt return for a TD with little to no time on the clock
You could argue for any of the miracles @ the Meadowlands the Eagles accomplished & each of them uniquely different and unexpected: a botched handoff fumbled and returned for a TD, a blocked FG kick advanced for a TD & a bobbled punt advanced for a TD. What a trifecta.
@@JoeVideoed There were a few combos on this list. Doing all three would be appropriate.
Ending up costing the Giants the division
You can make an hour long video of all the Lions' unlucky moments.
As a bronco fan I really thought our unluckiest would be the fumble by Manning in the super bowl with the Seahawks
Nah we were getting smacked that game regardless. That ravens game was awful. Broncos we’re the best team in the NFL that year
@@Glupshitto911 yeah
Best Jawline ive ever seen 3:24
That wasn't an "unlucky" moment for Dallas. Just Romo doing what he did best....
Choking.
Ya die by the Romo and ya die by the Romo.
The guy only led the nfl in comeback wins from 06-15, and had crazy wins clutch wins to get into playoffs like beating the 13-0 saints in 09, or beating the 11-2 Packers in 07 to get the first seed, or having the greatest December of all time with 2 broken bones in his back, or beating eagles 3 times, beating them week 17 to get into playoffs then beating them again the next week in wild card.
Anyways the bobbled snap was unlucky considering that was the only season in nfl history that field goals were forced to use those new slick balls. After the issues it caused in 06 they went back to normal balls. Basically any other season it would not have happened. Still Parcells should not have had his starting qb hold the ball. Romo spends the entire game holding, and throwing the usual balls. Used to that ball. Then randomly having to catch some new slick ball for a field goal.
Also that was not the most unluckiest play for cowboys. I would say the ref getting in the way during one of the 70s super bowl was.
@@jackwilson5152 Cool. Pity all those other "great" moments led to nothing but 2 playoff wins & not getting his Cowboys teams past the Divisional round.
@@davidparkes7741 shoot I'll take those great moments, I'm amazed that Romo even got 2 playoffs wins with those trash teams. And the refs still had to prevent him from getting to the nfc championship in 2014, even with a trash defense. Because they were literally destroying everyone in December. So the refs had to keep Detroit from getting smoked, then keep green Bay from losing in the divisional. The only unfortunate thing is not playing Romo the one time he could have played on a great overall team.
I like how The Brady Pats are on here mirroring how they were during the dynasty, as long as it wasn't miami or eli, luck did not go against them.
The NFCCG 2014 destroyed me to this day and I never recovered from it. We did got the 1 yard legendary moment from the SB. But man I do wonder " What IF " the Packers won. Rodgers would at least been to 2 SB ( win or lose ), adding to his legacy and the whole Rodgers playoffs narrative might be different and and all the Great Players we had that year would have tasted SB appearances. That was SURELY one of GBP BEST year to win the SB
I don't think Rodgers ever got over that game. He's played way differently in the playoffs ever since
@@packisbetter90 He still plays great here and there but I know what you mean
Myles Jack wasn't down. Brutal swing
I’ll never forget the botched Romo field goal. We had the game won and we blew it
We really should have smoked Seattle, Cowboys had like 4 dropped third downs. Like extremely easy catches that were dropped. Then Witten catching that long ball and fumbling it. Then with 6 minutes left in the game Terry Glenn fumbles and flings the ball backwards to the endzone to give Seattle 2 points for a safety, and Seattle the ball back, And Seattle of course scores a td. So all of that within a few minutes for Seattle to take the lead by 1. Then cowboys drive down, Witten somehow doesn't get the first down with an inch to go. So cowboys kick a field goal, and the snap is bobbled. Any other year that snap would not have been bobbled. Because that was the only year the nfl had that rule where field goal kicks had to use those new slick balls. After the issues it caused in 06 they removed that rule.
@@jackwilson5152 as a cowboys fan, I agree. They sold so badly and we still blame it on the refs every year
I know the Brett Favre interception and river city relay is insane, but I'd still say that the Saints luckiest moment was when they won against the ravens because Justin Tuckers missed his first ever extra point. 16:46
Omg the Steelers unlucky one has me HEATED.
Yup knew it
Happy St. Pat’s day everyone!
I already knew the Jag's luckiest and unluckiest plays.
Myles Jack was not down.
jags were screwed over
5:22 How did I know this was going to be the unluckiest play for the Browns?
*Pain.*
Guesses for my Seahawks:
Luckiest: Kearses TD in overtime to send us to Super Bowl 49.
Unluckiest: I don’t even have to tell you.
I assume im going to be correct on at least the unlucky one
Edit: That Tate catch was definitely not a interception..
The unlucky one is in final moments in our Super Bowl against the Patriots
Unluckiest is
I still can't belive 8 years later the seahawks didn't run the ball
I love how a couple of teams’ “unluckiest” moments are just Justin Tucker being the opposing kicker.
I think the patriots luckiest play was the hand-off when they handed off the card with Brady's name on it at the draft
That feeling when your team is featured in another team's "luckiest play ever."
2014 vs the Seahawks still makes me mad as a packers fan , weird how seahawks were playing with house money to getting into that sb to being shamed for not giving it to beastmode on the 1 yard lime smh....
Seahawks had some of the luckiest bs ever happen that game
Catching a football on your head is skills son !
As a Seahawks fan I already knew what was coming
Being Dallas unlucky is great.
@@stevemcculloch8915 oof
When Justin Tucker is in multiple teams unluckiest play... but against the Lions was such a killer.
MYLES JACK WASN'T DOWN!!!
Correct. That wasn't unlucky, that was NFL/Officials favoring the same team over and over malfeasance.
Refs screwed Jacksonville bigtime
I was watching the “Hails Murray” and it still gives me chills.
9:33 Edelman’s catch against the Falcons. 😎
