The Julio Jones catch against the patriots is the most forgotten moment. Made an insane catch. All the Falcons had to do was run the ball and kick a field goal to go up 11. Instead they blew it, and gave Tom more than 2 minutes to make a comeback.
@@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.
I still cry when I think of the butler interception. The change of emotions on that night as a Seahawks fan. Then to have it ripped away. Now I’m crying
@@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
@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.
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
People gotta remember too. Kearse caught the game winner in the NFC championship game 2 weeks before so he catches that & Seattle wins, he's a playoff legend
Plays that should have made the list: -1981 NFC Title: Eric Wright's 1-arm tackle on Drew Pearson... otherwise The Catch becomes a mere footnote. Today, a horse collar... -1975 NFC Divisional DAL-MIN: Dallas converting a 4th and 17 before Staubach's Hail Mary. -Super Bowl 42: not Tyree helmet catch-Plax TD.... but Steve Smith converting 3rd and 11 (out of bounds too) right before game winning score. -1981 AFC Divisional SD-MIA: Don Strock-Tony Nathan hook-and-lateral to end first half.
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
Being a long, long time Cardinal fan(40+ years) I experienced the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat in 2 minutes of game time. In all of my then 53 years of my life, there is no bigger moment where my heart was ripped from my chest when Holmes made that catch especially after my most favorite professional athlete in any sport of all time scored the go ahead TD in the Super Bowl. To this day, when NFL Network replays that game, once Larry crosses the goal line, I turn it off. I haven't watched that game winning Stealer drive since the actual game.
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
Everyone seems to have forgotten what happened after "The Catch" Montana to Clark against Dallas. There was still time on the clock and the first play from scrimmage after the ensuing kickoff, Danny White passes deep over the middle into traffic and connects with Drew Pearson who begins to break away. He was tackled by Eric Wright's fingertip horse-collar at the 49er's 45 yard line and at least prevented the Cowboys from gaining field goal range if not a long touchdown. None other than Ronnie Lott acknowledged that this is the play that saved the game for San Fran... ruclips.net/video/6ojQF4yyxL0/видео.html
If you don't remember 1, 2, and 3, then you haven't been a football fan for the last 10 years. Seriously, who has "forgotten" these plays? No football fan has, that's for sure.
#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"
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.
I am STUNNED that Eric Wright's fingertip horsecollar tackle of Drew Pearson at the end of the 1981 NFC Title Game is not on the list. It is a pivotal play in NFL history. Wright's tackle saved The Catch. I honestly thought it could have been #1. Maybe NFL Films forgot about this play too lol
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 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.
Definitely have not forgotten Larry Fitzgerald's go ahead TD...... The smile & both hands in air celebrating... Plaxico wide open TD catch also.. unforgettable
I appreciate these lists mainly because it reminds me of the truly special moments in sports. As a seahawk fan, it was pretty heart racing to see Kearse make that play. But the heartbreak of the interception has led me to put the Kearse catch in the back of my mind.
This makes me think of two plays in Super Bowl 34 that are overshadowed by the Mike Jones tackle of Kevin Dyson at the 1-yard line. I wouldn't consider the long Isaac Bruce touchdown to be forgotten (and it ended up being the game-winning score), but I think Steve McNair's miraculous escape and throw to Dyson on the play before "The Tackle" would fit in this video.
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.
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.
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
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)!
@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 🌎!
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.
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
Something about super bowl 38 is totally unforgettable to me. I watched it completely alone at 7 years old and remember everything from the Janet Jackson slip to the Prohel score to talking with my dad on the phone as he lost money because Vinatieri nailed the kick. Certainly not forgotten!
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 🤣🤣
Right off the bat you have to remind me of those Vanderjagt day's, I lost count of how many times he missed game winning field goals and cost the Colts the game.
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.
@@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.
As a Pats fan, that Kearse catch is not forgotten ( nor the Plaxico one) ... not for a minute. I will always remember how salty I felt witnessing yet another miracle catch at the end of the SB againts my boys .. I was about as broken as a man could be. Immediately followed by the greatest, most unexpected play in SB history .. the ups and downs of that game at the end were insane
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!
This video made me do some research into ricky proehl. He actually had a great career. He was undervalued his whole career. So much so that his whole career is undervalued.
Steve Smith’s walk off double OT 54 yard TD catch against the Rams in the 2003 NFC Wild Card Playoff Game. Panthers ended up making it to SB 38 and almost won
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...
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.
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
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
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.
As a Steelers fan, I almost feel bad for Fitz...almost. Also, shoulda given Ben his credit for that absolute dime to Holmes, maybe the most perfect pass in SB history, an inch in any direction and it's likely incomplete.
Okay, Larry Fitzgerald definitely did NOT carry the 08 Cardinals on his back. He had Kurt Warner at QB, Anquan Boldin and Steve Breaston opposite him at WR (who both had 1,000 yard seasons that year), Edgerrin James at RB, Darnell Dockett, Antrell Rolle, Dominque Rodgers-Cromartie, Adrian Wilson, Karlos Dansby and Calais Campbell all on defense. No disrespect to the goat, but he wasn't the only great Cardinal that year.
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.
Geek that I am, I remembered them all. I was covering the Colts-Steelers playoff game and they skipped a great backstory on that play -- Harper had been stabbed in a thigh the night before by his wife in a domestic incident. Was he slowed at all? With a little extra giddyup does he get outside Roethlisberger and go all the way?
Julio jones amazing Super Bowl 51 catch should be on this list. Cause that was the last play that was great for Falcons! Then the sack and punt and Patriots force overtime! I thought that should have been on this list!
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
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 Ha. Deflategate? You mean that bullshit? The Wells Report was bullshit and proven bullshit. It's obvious science with those balls.
This may be a stretch, but Devin Hester's kickoff return TD at the start of super bowl 41 should be on here. No other superbowl started off better than that game with that TD.
I do so remember Plax's catch! I was looking at the game with my choir, or more accurately, the tenor section of my choir. We hollered when Tyree made his grab, but we ROARED when Plax scored...
Steve McNair's scramble and breaking tackles to complete a pass to Kevin Dyson . . to set up the final play in SB 34, has to be on this list somewhere. That was the play right before the "1 yard short" pass. ruclips.net/video/CEzPETe4c0A/видео.html
I am a Colts fan, but as a fan of the game and good people like Bettis, I am glad his career didn't end on that note. He deserved a better ending. He deserved the ending he got. He is one hell of a player and that was one hell of a game.
The bus' catch wasnt swept under the rug, Big Bens tackle just over shadowed it. No one talks about how the bus fumbled it, they talk about big ben's show string tackle
All I remember from that Bettis fumble is how stupid of a runner Nick Harper was.. all he has to do is sprint up the sidelines for a TD but then he starts going side to side like a snake for no reason at all, and lets Roethlisberger tackle him.
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

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
"Benny Malone, the man who runs like he's falling down a flight of stairs" lmao
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
"Benny Malone, #32. The man who runs like he's falling down a flight of stairs". The old NFL Films was the greatest thing ever.
I rewind that every time. It truly is hilarious!
Man, Fitz running back that 64 yard td pass from Warner is one of the greatest Super Bowl receptions ever!!! So so pretty...
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.
I still cry when I think of the butler interception. The change of emotions on that night as a Seahawks fan. Then to have it ripped away. Now I’m crying
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.
"Runs like a man falling down the stairs" lol i love those old team highlight reels, narrator is awesome with the one liners
hearing "the start of a dynasty" by a rams player will always get a smile out of me. they were so right.
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
"i feel like plaxico is out there at the club.. unarmed..."
@M is a great r
That had me dead 🤣
If you know you know 😂
Justified his inclusion as a comedian right there
"How much sleep do you need to play for three hours?"
I'm suddenly a huge Stabler fan lol
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.
I love how they hired Ice Cube for exactly six seconds of dialogue
People gotta remember too. Kearse caught the game winner in the NFC championship game 2 weeks before so he catches that & Seattle wins, he's a playoff legend
Still a legend.
-laughing/grateful Bears fan
Now the Julio catch in 51 should be on the list
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
Plays that should have made the list:
-1981 NFC Title: Eric Wright's 1-arm tackle on Drew Pearson... otherwise The Catch becomes a mere footnote. Today, a horse collar...

-1981 AFC Divisional SD-MIA: Don Strock-Tony Nathan hook-and-lateral to end first half.
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.

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
Before Russell Wilson's infamous pass, there was Kasay's kickoff out of bounds. Led to Brady's heroics.
Years later, his teammate kicked his kickoff kick out of bounds against the Rams
Fitz’s Superbowl heroics aren’t forgotten. The Cards lost the game, but nobody watching will forget what a freaking beast he was that night.
Being a long, long time Cardinal fan(40+ years) I experienced the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat in 2 minutes of game time.

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.
Oh man, that Benny Malone run is savage, it really is a shame its forgotten. I never even found the "Sea of Hands" catch all that impressive.
Always loved how when Vanderjact missed that field goal, Peyton is basically laughing when he said “he missed it” 😂
Benny Malone the man who runs like hes falling down a flight of stairs! 😂😂😂😂

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
I still remember that Kearse catch, if only they had run it smh
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

He was open a lot and should have gotten 4 or 5 times the amount of targets that he got
Good list but some of the "comedians" are so so so not funny. Very douchy
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
How about rodgers in 2015 divisional round vs cardinals 4th and 20 60 yard pass after that 41 yard hail mary to send it to OT
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
Kenny Stabler is the hero I didn't know I needed. What a champ
And to think...if the Falcons didn’t choke last Super Bowl Julian Edelman would’ve made this list.
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
Hightower’s tackle on marshawn lynch in sb49 at the 2
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
How can anyone who asks "Who's Dan Reeves" be on this show?
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
Something about super bowl 38 is totally unforgettable to me. I watched it completely alone at 7 years old and remember everything from the Janet Jackson slip to the Prohel score to talking with my dad on the phone as he lost money because Vinatieri nailed the kick. Certainly not forgotten!
This just shows if you lose a game, you lose recognition of the great plays you made along the way.
obviously I am biased but Steve Mcnair's run in Super Bowl 34 is one of the most forgotten plays in NFL History
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!!!
James Harrison's 100-yard pick 6 in Super Bowl XLIII was a bigger play than anything anyone else did in that game, including Fitzgerald & Holmes.
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 🤣🤣
What about Julio Jones’ amazing sideline catch against the patriots?
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 RUclips uploads.
Its not really forgotten.
This is top-notch entertainment man. Perfect to listen to while you're breaking up your bud getting ready to get stoned I love it
Right off the bat you have to remind me of those Vanderjagt day's, I lost count of how many times he missed game winning field goals and cost the Colts the game.
Not many. Mike's problem was he alienated everybody in the Colts' organization and fans with his big mouth.
Zero Patriot Fans forget Plaxico's TD catch. We all remember it
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.
This was a really good list. Glad NFL Films went with this.
Some of the people nfl films get to comment on these really reek of lack of effort. Just grab any old comedian /actor who will say anything for money
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
Trust me, the Steelers fans remember #10. We mostly remember it because Ben made one of the greatest tackles in NFL history!
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.
As a Pats fan, that Kearse catch is not forgotten ( nor the Plaxico one) ... not for a minute. I will always remember how salty I felt witnessing yet another miracle catch at the end of the SB againts my boys .. I was about as broken as a man could be. Immediately followed by the greatest, most unexpected play in SB history .. the ups and downs of that game at the end were insane
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!
some of these "comedians" arent even funny
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
Fitz deserves a Super Bowl.
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 only play I don't remember on this list is Benny Malone's TD
That was a powerful run and then sea of hands happened smmfh
This video made me do some research into ricky proehl. He actually had a great career. He was undervalued his whole career. So much so that his whole career is undervalued.
Steve Smith’s walk off double OT 54 yard TD catch against the Rams in the 2003 NFC Wild Card Playoff Game. Panthers ended up making it to SB 38 and almost won
I like how the commentators are talking down to the players on this list like the players somehow needed their vapid idiotic approval.
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.
Larrys catch and run should be No.1
-Pats fan
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.
Weird that you number 1 most forgotten play is on so many compilations of great plays/catches that it will always be remembered. Mmmmm
Its because of what happened 2 plays later that it is forgotten.
The cards Superbowl showdown with the Steelers still haunts me today.
Where’s Steve McNair’s scramble in Super Bowl 33 that was right before the “one yard short” play
A1 Video gamer 34
Everyone remembers that though.
Who? Mike Jones....
what about Musah Muhammad's catch in Superbowl 38 (The 85 yard reception)
Sturt Music or Julio Jones last year
Don’t worry, Panthers nation will never forget.
As a pats fan, I’d much rather Ricky proehl be the guy to beat Brady twice than Eli Manning
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
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.
oh didn't know that thats really cool
Exactly.
Yeah when they said that i thought to myself “pretty sure they were still running it for a reason”
I remember Plaxico's catch. I go back and watch it every once and a while to hear the stadium noise. The sound of the Cheatriots losing is wonderful.
What about fitz vs the packers in the playoffs where he literally carried the team on his back
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 Jermain Kearse catch better be here
Its not forgotten most people just remember the ending
Charlie Tibbitts don’t forget Julio’s
Proehl did win 2 SB's though...
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
As a Steelers fan, I almost feel bad for Fitz...almost.
Also, shoulda given Ben his credit for that absolute dime to Holmes, maybe the most perfect pass in SB history, an inch in any direction and it's likely incomplete.
Ricky Proehl, you weren't just a member of the Greatest Show on Turf, you were a true NFL legend
Okay, Larry Fitzgerald definitely did NOT carry the 08 Cardinals on his back. He had Kurt Warner at QB, Anquan Boldin and Steve Breaston opposite him at WR (who both had 1,000 yard seasons that year), Edgerrin James at RB, Darnell Dockett, Antrell Rolle, Dominque Rodgers-Cromartie, Adrian Wilson, Karlos Dansby and Calais Campbell all on defense. No disrespect to the goat, but he wasn't the only great Cardinal that year.
Huh? I don't know any football fan who forgot Plax's go-ahead TD in SB42.
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.
The German dude is my favorite in this like he is just hilarious 😂
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
Watching this in 2020 Rest In Peace to Benny Malone he died on March 19th
Geek that I am, I remembered them all. I was covering the Colts-Steelers playoff game and they skipped a great backstory on that play -- Harper had been stabbed in a thigh the night before by his wife in a domestic incident. Was he slowed at all? With a little extra giddyup does he get outside Roethlisberger and go all the way?
Julio jones amazing Super Bowl 51 catch should be on this list. Cause that was the last play that was great for Falcons! Then the sack and punt and Patriots force overtime! I thought that should have been on this list!
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.
Tom Brady owes so much to Adam Vinetari all I know is that he won three Super Bowls by field goals vs the Rams Panthers and My EAGLES I GOT TRIGGERED
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
25:22 Roger really hates the patriots lol
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
Ricky Proehl plays in 4 Super Bowls, wins two, plays 17 seasons in the NFL and some nobody says he’s “erased from the history books”. Ridiculous
Second-last play of Super Bowl 34.
A truly jaw-dropping effort by the late Steve McNair. Too bad for him that the next play missed by just one yard.
Am I the only one who thinks that Damon Amendolara is the human version of Stingy from Lazytown?
WHO???
Will Philipps who's the what from where?
No McNair's pass before the one yard short from the SB? That might be the greatest play in a SB ever.
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".
"i feel like Plaxico is at the club ... UNARMED" hahahahaha
hearing "the start of a dynasty" by a rams player will always get a smile out of me. they were so right.
“Tonight a dynasty is born baby!!!”
Had no idea what we were in for when he said that
Ricky Spoke To Soon That Night!
Yooo Max "Blessed" Holloway at the end 😂👏🏻
This may be a stretch, but Devin Hester's kickoff return TD at the start of super bowl 41 should be on here. No other superbowl started off better than that game with that TD.
Rest in peace to Benjamin Malone, Jr. who passed on March 19th of this year.
After Larry’s touchdown I looked at my family and said “no matter what happens, this was an amazing super bowl.” Then Santonio Holmes happened.
I do so remember Plax's catch! I was looking at the game with my choir, or more accurately, the tenor section of my choir. We hollered when Tyree made his grab, but we ROARED when Plax scored...
The thing about #3 is that if Plaxico doesn't score that touchdown, it's the Helmet Catch that might have been forgotten.
Haha putting James Harrison after he's traded!😂
LARRY LEGEND
And to think...if the Falcons didn’t choke last Super Bowl Julian Edelman would’ve made this list.
Steve McNair's scramble and breaking tackles to complete a pass to Kevin Dyson . . to set up the final play in SB 34, has to be on this list somewhere. That was the play right before the "1 yard short" pass.
ruclips.net/video/CEzPETe4c0A/видео.html
Fitzgerald looks like the guy from apocalypto running... Classic
I am a Colts fan, but as a fan of the game and good people like Bettis, I am glad his career didn't end on that note. He deserved a better ending. He deserved the ending he got. He is one hell of a player and that was one hell of a game.
Gronkowki catch on 4th down in double coverage vs Broncos in AFC Championship?
Vert i guess you could say it was forgotten
Vert wait whattt?!?!?!?
BlackTyga Yt_Gt Gronks 4th down catch against the Broncos. What don’t you understand
Vert I remember that I was pissed 😡
emmanuel valdez Was
One of the dudes names is Damen Amendolara 😂
A lot of exciting moments for Steeler fans.
The bus' catch wasnt swept under the rug, Big Bens tackle just over shadowed it. No one talks about how the bus fumbled it, they talk about big ben's show string tackle
All I remember from that Bettis fumble is how stupid of a runner Nick Harper was.. all he has to do is sprint up the sidelines for a TD but then he starts going side to side like a snake for no reason at all, and lets Roethlisberger tackle him.
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.
Fitz is the 2nd best wideout in the history of the nfl imo (Jerry rice being the best)
Even though he probably won’t play as long as Rice did, if he does have a career as long as Rice, Fitz will go down as the greatest WR ever.
lmao no comment
Agreed
go look up the name Don Hutson...
justin gies um randy moss
I've sometimes wondered if Vanderjaght missed that fg on purpose .
hahaha why?
I think I remember the media talking to him years after and him still saying he gets hate mail.
The next season the Colts win the Super Bowl with Adam Vinateri. Go figure.
