If they did a "Most devastating Conference Championship losses of all time" it would be nothing but the Packers.
Saints vs Rams will top all of those combined
Nice to see Top 10 back on the nfl network
Vikings too
@@andrewmartinez9613 nah 2015 was worse than the Saints Rams one. Packers controlled that game for 58 minutes, won the TO battle 5-2, and lost because Bostic tried to catch the ball instead of block and the defense shit itself in OT
they did a VIDEO about that already in THIS CHANNEL!
The Cowboys loss to the Giants in the 2007 divisional round needs to be on this list.
I agree. Especially considering that Tony Romo was in Mexico during their Bye Week pretending that they had the game won. Too bad the Giants took it personally.
It’s not “top ten devastatingly predictable divisional round losses of all-time”
@@michaelhession2105 not only that but also jerry Jones purchasing tickets to the nfc championship game and putting it on each giants’ players stool pretty much overlooking them
@@KornKobb The Cowboys destroyed the Giants in their two regular season matchups that year. Cabo. Jerry buying NFC championship tickets. It's GOT to be on this list or at least honorable mention
Yes definitely nobody had the Giants winning that game or the super bowl that year
How is Minneapolis Miracle only an honorable mention
100% How that is not in the top 10 is crazy to me
I would guess because the Eagles were the clear favorites to win it all.
it would have been More devastating to the VIKINGS, they were the Home team.
It wasn’t devastating
Because that Vikings team got killed the next week by the Eagles, and the Saints suffered even worse defeats over the next two years including another of them to the Vikings.
As a Saints fan, it’s an understatement when I say I feel a pain like no other whenever I see the Minnesota Miracle or even the NOLA No Call. Fuck even The Catch III in 2011 hurts still. It hurts as Saints fan but even more as a Drew Brees fan. His legacy would be completely different if Malcom Jenkins didn’t get cooked by Vernon Davis, if Marcus Williams can make the easiest tackle in history, or if the NFL didn’t hire visually impaired refs. God it hurts
I feel bad for Saints fans for the no-call interference in the 2018 NFCCG, but I can't feel bad for y'all's gaffes in 2011, 2017, 2019, and especially not 2020. You had your chances outside 2018, but you were certainly robbed that year. Saints would've manhandled the zombie Patriots.
As a Saints fan, same. It hurts
Really? I was over the Miracle within an hour, it's the No Call and SF 2011 games I'll never get over. And it wasn't Jenkins you should blame, there was a 3rd and 10 on their side of the ball and G3 puts Roman Harper on Vernon Davis. Stop that play and I believe they would punt and the Saints would've bled the clock dry down to zero.
Dude no 🧢 that's how I feel about the San Diego Chargers ⚡ same team that traded a HOT QB to the NO Saints like wtf 😂😭 went on to win a Super Bowl & become a legend 🔥😴 (Drew Brees) oh went 14-2 with Marty Schottenheimer and still lost to the fucking win every year PATRIOTS 😫 have ANTONIO GATES VINCENT JACKSON DARREN SPROLES ANTONIO CROMARTIE, QUINTIN JAMMER 💔 it's heartbreaking watching such amazing players never past that one level 😖💯
@@jaxonwoods8181We were robbed of a Mahomes vs Brees Super Bowl smh
I can't believe 1993 Oilers/Chiefs was not included. It was basically the death of the Houston Oilers.
Pretty much. After the collapse in Buffalo the year before, the force they gave up for Denver to beat them the year before that and that whole tumultuous season. The defense and offense were completely divided, Buddy Ryan and Kevin Gilbride throwing hands on the sideline of a game, the offensive lineman being at his child’s birth controversy, the Jeff Alm car accident that killed his friend then him committing hari kari….Jesus it was like a soap opera in helmets and shoulder pads.
It was also Warren Moon's final game as an Oiler too. Those last few years in Houston were terrible for the franchise.
Hiring Buddy Ryan was a mistake, the oilers already had the best defense in the AFC with Jim Eddy. But Ryan may be the only reason the fans came back after the buffalo debacle the year before and with the cowboys winning the super bowl.
imagine being down only 10 points with 10 mins left and the announcers are saying the game is over. Totally different era of football back in the 80's.
He definitely ate his words
those were jets announcers, and we all know they are hella delusional 😂😂
While it was certainly premature for them to say that, the narrator was wrong. I remember this game, there was about 4 mins left when the Jets went up 2 scores
Should of got fired😂
Mahomes could score 5 TDs in that span lol
In regards to that 90s Jags team beating Elway, I was a teenager and rooting so hard for a Jags/Panthers Superbowl. That would have been awesome.
The nfl would have dreaded that but it would have been great lmao
I was watching that game too.. rooting hard for the jags
I still cannot believe the Chargers fired Marty Shottenheimer after that game. First of all, losing to the Brady/Belichick Patriots in the playoffs was basically expected in most situations. Second, why is it on Marty that McCree didn't go down? I believe firing Shottenheimer led to the collapse of the Chargers organization. Yes, they made it to the championship game in 07' but that feels like a fluke, considering they've never made it past the Divisional since.
I’m pre game warmups he literally told McGee not to fumble when he gets the game winning interception too.
He literally did everything he could
I was a huge Chiefs fan in the 90's and always liked Marty, but he never could win in the postseason. He had THREE of the losses in this video, and all of them were home games. There's no reason to think that "Marty ball" could ever have won a championship, no matter how well it worked in the regular season.
@Palace Of Wisdom I highly recommend Urinatingtree's video on Marty. He really shows alot of the misfortune of those teams were not on him.
@@jcore0981 what makes it worse is that the Chargers had Manning’s number during those years. I don’t think Colts woulda beaten them on the road.
@@jrad410 The Chargers owned Manning's Colts but struggled versus other top-flight AFC teams such as the Steelers, Ravens, and of course the aforementioned Patriots. They couldn't even get by the Jets in 2009, in a game that prolly should've been included on this list.
How was the "Red Right 88" game not on here?!? Let alone not even an honorable mention?!? Those 3 words still haunt Browns fans to this day!
So does the "4th and 26" Eagles vs Packers game. Oh well.
Yeah it ended the Cardiac Kid‘s spectacular season in a heartbreaking fashion. Not to mention it had iconic football weather, which adds excitement.
That game should DEFINATELY be on any list involving great, heartbreaking, weather, etc lists of divisional playoff games, especially since it happened on the very same day that Atlanta had their crushing late loss to Dallas. I was a young teen really pulling for the Browns and the Falcons that day, as not only did I like and support those teams all year, but it was refreshing to have some "new blood" vying for conference championship spots, as Dallas and Oakland had been there six times a piece in the 70's. Still remember the Browns scoring first on the INT return for TD, the Cockroft misses, and how gutted I was when they lost, and then about 30 minuts later, I rooted for the Falcons, saw them jump to a 10-0 lead, seem to have the game in control, and then see Too Tall Jones somehow avoid an offsides penalty that would have sealed it (he famously crossed the line and tip toed back before the snap) and then see the Cowboys pull it out in the last minute. What a brutal Sunday that was, because unlike today, that's when I really cared about NFL football.
Marty Schottenheimer has to be the most unlucky head coach of all time
Literally like wtf
How does a defensive back fumble the game winning interception 🙃
@@ValleyboizAmbassdor and what’s worse is he would’ve been better served knocking it down because it was 4th down and they would’ve gotten better field position with a knockdown than the interception.
@@sickofguysnamedtodd2293 like exactly wtf are you doing it's the PLAYOFFS 😭 one of the most disappointing losses I've ever witnessed
@@sickofguysnamedtodd2293 I forgot it was 4th down. That makes it even more devastating......
I'd personally go with the 2003 "4th & 26" game vs Philadelphia over the 2011 game vs the Giants for Green Bay. As fun as the 2011 Packers were, the 15-1 record covered up a lot of flaws (suspect run game on offense & a feast or famine defense). In contrast the 2003 run felt like the stars were aligning for Green Bay. Squeaking in on the last day of the season with thanks to the miracle catch in the Minnesota-Arizona game, the OT win vs Seattle, getting a 14-0 lead on the road vs Philly...and then ALLLLLLL the wheels came flying off. Not getting more points on over 200 yards of rushing, Mike Sherman blinking on 4th & 1 with a monster Oline and a first-team all pro RB in Ahman Green, giving up 4th & 26, Favres INT in OT etc.
I remember that game like it was ystrdy, I thought my eagles were done until FRED X came up w the biggest catch of his pathetic career. Man that was AWESOME.
The 4th and 26 game was rough because the fanbase knew we were running out of chances with Favre. The 2011 loss was brutal, but I thought the Packers would be in that position for the next decade. The more recent losses are also more devastating than 2011 because we can all tell that those were our last chances.
@@tidmarshXC your D coordinator should've been Fired on the plane ride back to Wisconsin for that play
@@patlyons8588 lol he's the d coordinator of the Vikings right now and we did fire him
@@patlyons8588 🤣🤣
They did Dez Bryant dirty, that man caught the ball. Literally never hits the ground as he reached for the goaline.
I remember the Mile High Miracle like it was yesterday. Once Baltimore scored the tying touchdown, all life in that stadium was gone.
I knew that as soon as the Ravens won that game they were winning the Super Bowl. It felt like whoever won that game, was going to beat everyone else.
@@michaelhession2105 Denver could have won the SB I'm sure. When Baltimore won it really felt like they weren't gonna waste ray lewis' last year. Not surprised they won the SB. Still hated it as a broncos fan. I can't watch that game.
The Marlon McCree game from the 2006 season for the Chargers, that one is definitely right up there, the Chargers would very likely still be in San Diego if not for that, and Marty Schottenheimer might be in the Hall of Fame as well, but that type of loss was nothing new for him, he sadly never escaped his playoff demons
Won the UFL in its last season - MARTY..
The Chargers were 14-2 during the regular season and should've breezed through the playoffs like they did during their record setting regular season: scoring. 40+pts, beating opponents by30+pts, most 40+pt games then gift wrap the Patties the game in SD, a defensive penalty kept Brady's drives alive.
@aarondigby5054 yeah the entire coaching Legacy for Marty Schottenheimer is just being a playoff choke artist, it's not the way that he would consistently lose playoff games but he would always lose them in heartbreaking and embarrassing fashion
Falcons have really been choking since the 80’s
As a falcons fan, pain only consumes us. You cannot celebrate any lead no matter the magnitude as a falcons fan. You cannot get your hopes up as a falcons fan. You cannot expect to get a winning season as a falcons fan. You cannot expect to beat the Saints twice a year no matter how bad they are as a falcons fan. And lastly, you can never forget SB51 as a falcons fan…
same with the Chargers, no matter who the star qb is
60s*
The Alex Smith vs Drew Brees quarterback duel was unironically the most impressive game of that year. That was an awesome game to watch live.
49ers fan here, I was absolute hoarse after watching that game. Alex Smith's run sweep was one of the best QB runs I have ever seen, especially from a non-running type QB!
Vernon Davis was killing that game !
It was stunning! Lifelong Niners fan, I thought for sure the Saints were going to take it because Brees was so damned determined that whole season. I couldn't believe how intense it got in the last 4 minutes, that's easily one of the best games I've ever seen.
Interesting to me that #10 and #6 on this list led directly to The Kyle Williams Game ruclips.net/video/USBAqX8QUEg/видео.html&ab_channel=CallMehKruze
Alex "Clutch" Smith - LOL
Great regular season QB but never had a chance at winning any big games. He was too mediocre and never had the killer instinct to win big games.
Alex "CheckDown" Smith
Alex "Sacked Again" Smith
He's a great guy off the field,. probably nicest and best guy off the field but he never had the field generalship to win big games.
definitely the 2011 Packers against the Giants for sure, has to be one of the most upsets in NFL playoff history and man that was surely insane
The Giants deadass pulled off 3 straight upsets to lift the Lombardi lol
@@MajorMlgNoob not the falcons but definitely the packers 49ers and patriots
@@MajorMlgNoob need to specify the year cuz they did that in both 07 and 11
Yeah, while upsetting I don't think it meets "devastating." The 2015 divisional game was way worse. Rodgers willed that team on two heroic hail Mary's to tie the game. Then the defense completely pooped the bed and lost the game in OT. That was WAY more devastating in my opinion.
Their 2007 playoff run was better Giants beat 3 top seed teams including the 18-0 Patriots to win it all
19:40 Bettis face after he fumbled 😳 will forever be classic..... He really dodged a bullet that game 😅😅😅😅
The Wild-card rounds have given us the three biggest comebacks/blown leads in NFL history. The Divisional Rounds have given us three plays or games so legendary they have their own names: the Immaculate Reception, the Sea of Hands Play, and the Tuck Rule Game.
That Bills vs Chiefs game was probably one of the best games I’ve ever watched but the Bills Defense with 13 seconds left lost them that game why are you leaving the middle of the field open when the opponent has timeouts
I was there rooting for the Bills. It was a crazy feeling
That should be number 1 we scored twice in the final 2 minutes
Seriously 3 lead changes in 9 seconds is mind blowing im not saying it should be 1, I get recency bias but goddamn they were shaking hands. It was OVER. THAT is a heartbreaking loss, when it feels like its stolen. I get why teams hate us, BUF has been an underdog and we've killed the dream twice
Stabler was in more legendary games than any QB in NFL History. He scored on a 30-yard run that put the Raiders up on the Steelers 7-6 moments before Franco's "Immaculate Reception." He threw the winning TD in the "Sea of Hands Game." Then there was the "Ghost to the Post" game. Then the last second run against the Pats in 1976. Then the "Holy Roller." No QB in NFL History has that many games with names like that. Also, in 1979 he took the Raiders back from 35-14 in the 4th on Monday Night Football against the Saints 42-35. That game can be found on RUclips and is just stunning. He did that kind of thing again and again.
Yes
Many people (rightfully) hate the cowboys, but it can not be denied that what the refs did to say that wasn't a catch was downright criminal. Rewatching it today, I STILL don't know what they saw that caused them to overturn the call on the field
I don't what makes it right to hate the Cowboys (I am Italian) but that call is incomprehensible.
2016 Div was more devastating for the cowboys than 2014 Div.
Maybe the Bryant Non catch was painful but imagine that you had a great regular season, your fans very excited about returning to a SB, you had the game at your home stadium. When everything get wrong the team came back to tie game, the team have the momentum to the overtime but then Aaron Rodgers do his thing...
Even if they score off of the “non catch” rodgers had a few minutes on the clcok he will find a way to kill the dallas hopes
I agree. And I actually see both sides of the Dez catch. It really wasn't as clear cut as Cowboys fans feel it was although I also hate this era of slowing every catch down to .25 speed and analyzing it like its some science.
As a cowboys fan, no it wasn't, they weren't going to win anything with Prescott. And the fact that they couldn't beat a 2016 packers team who had 9 starters out of defense was pathetic. Even more pathetic that they only had 13 going into the 4th. Packers playing soft and prevent allowed cowboys to come back and still lose. Falcons put up over 40 in 3 quarters the next week vs that packers. Only delusional fans thought cowboys had a chance in 2016 just like in 2023.
2014 cowboys proved to be able to compete with the best. And they were set to play Seattle who they already beat in the season in Seattle.
The Browns loss against the Raiders in early January 1981 during the 1980 NFL/AFC playoffs has to be among the Top 10 most devastating. Browns were within field goal range with less than a minute and chose a pass attempt for a touchdown that was intercepted by the Oakland Raiders. Raiders went on to win the Conference title and Super Bowl.
That was a heart breaking loss for the Browns, it was so hard to kick a field goal in the frigid condition, Cockroft had missed an earlier field goal and extra point
Love love love to hear from old nfl fans that remember stuff like that. Yall make the NFL look good
The Browns kicker was hurt and had missed field goals in the game which is why we chose to go for the touchdown
Chargers did make the conf. championship next season in 2007 but they lost again to the Patriots 21-12. They have not made it past the divisional round since then.
I am just waiting for the conference championship biggest upset of all time lol. I do love the music you guys use. It gives me goosebumps and flashbacks to all these games. What I was doing in those days before I got ready for them. You guys do get work

As a Lions fan, that Cowboys loss in 2014 against the Packers was revenge for the refs gifting them that wildcard game the week before
My friend, a Lions fan, thanked me (Packers fan) for taking out the trash. Said the Cowboys deserved it.
While the Packers loss in the next round was revenge for the refs overturning Dez Bryant's catch.
@@shauncameron8390 and then the Seahawks loss in the Super Bowl was revenge with Wilson throwing the puck at the goal line.
the cowboys didnt lose that game. refs cheated for the packers once again just like they did in 2010 and recently giving lafleur 3 consecutive undeserved first round byes
@@bachtuna What I always love about the "Dez Caught it" play is how there would have been over 4 minutes left in the game. That's an insane amount of time in today's game. I'm 95% certain the Packers would have scored on their next drive.
The fact that dez’s was more of a catch than a lot of the other questionable catches after his play in that game.
The packers out of bounds catch being called good had me shook 💀
@@MrV41N never said it was a catch just said it was more of a catch than some of these.
The fact that packers earlier in the game dropped a catch, and it was called a catch. Then reviewed it and it clearly hit the ground before even touching the player, yet refs still called it a catch, which led to a packers field goal. Only for them to call Dez actual catch not a catch lol
Really enjoyed this list. Learned a lot too and I feel like I generally know about all the great playoff matchups too. I'm not saying I agree with all the rankings which are subjective but this was thorough.
Hopefully we Get a Top 10 Most Devastating Conference Championship Losses of All-Time
**Billy Cundiff has entered the chat**
Hope so too..the losses are even more devestating the closer you get to the superbowl
yes please
seahawks packers will be on here and maybe pats vs broncos
They already did a video on that
The 2019 ravens getting blown out at home was the second most heartbreaking moment ever for me as a fan. It was the single greatest football team I have ever watched. They dominated almost all the winning teams in the league and won 13 straight. Dominated both sides. They got arrogant and didn’t take the titans seriously. That team would’ve dominated the superbowl
The most insane part is that the same thing happened to the Ravens in 2006 as well. That team was on another long winning streak with a defense with 6 future Hall of Famers on it that rivaled their 2000 defense for crying out loud. Not to mention the best offense they ever had in the Billick Era. Just like the Titans, Baltimore didn't take the Colts' defense seriously which gave up the most rushing yards in league history during the regular season. Just like Earl Thomas, Corey Ivy ran his mouth and got run over by Dominic Rhodes. Those were two of the greatest teams I've ever watched, and the same thing happened in nearly identical circumstances.
I gotta say, as a long time Chiefs fan it's really interesting to watch this (and the wildcard round video) in March of 2023, after KC just won their 2nd super bowl in 4 years. Prior to 2018, the NFL playoffs were a recurring disaster for KC, from several divisional round losses when KC was the AFC #1 seed, to wildcard losses that had bizarre, "curse"-like qualities to them. It helps keep in perspective how truly special these past few years have been for KC, because it hasn't always been so. So many people feel certain that KC is the next great dynasty and that Chiefs fans will stay drunk on success for several more years, but even though all the pieces appear to be in place and on paper that looks true, there have been plenty of dynasties stopped short for various reasons. Whether our Mahomes-led Chiefs go on to become the first franchise to win 10 or more super bowls, or they win one or two more, or Chiefs fans 15 years from now tell their kids about the 5-year glorious stretch at the beginning of Mahomes' career that resulted in 2 lombardi trophies...nobody really knows...but what I do know is that having your heart ripped out repeatedly before reaching success makes the latter so much sweeter.
Yep before Mahomes got their it was ugly, 2013 huge collapse at Indy, 2015 terrible clock management at pats, 2016 lose to a Steelers team that didn’t score a TD, 2017 blown lead at home vs Marcus Mariota.
As a pats fan born in 97 I can say enjoy it even if git goes for 20 years like us it gets bad again
2 in 4. The GOAT had 3 in 4 and your crybaby Kermit QB never beat Brady in the playoffs. When Kermit the brat is whining about his toe playing against a 44 year old quarterback playing on a torn MCL. Your QB will never be better than 2nd or 3rd place and he has to pass either Manning brother first before he can move up. You barely beat Brady’s backup on a stacked 9ers team for sb 1. So stop acting like KC is a dynasty or mahomes is the goat. You’re not there yet.
@@milesbrown7345you can tell you were born in 97. Because no pats fan that remembers before Brady say that. Or that can use their head. The Patriots had a better run than any FRANCHISE in a 20 year span. No franchise can say that. It took a dynasty and a semi dynasty for the Steelers to get to 6. Brady got 6 in New England and 7 total. Educate yourself. No patriot alive should be ungrateful even if we never win another. But you’re a child I get it.
As a titans fan I’m surprised the 2000 game between Tennessee and Baltimore didn’t make the list that was devastating for us
I have to agree not to mention they struggled mightily the following season and it took them another season to get back on track. THAT was a tough loss
You paid us back in 2020. Derrick Henry laid waste to an all-time season.
That game was one of the hardest hit games I’ve ever seen.
It blows my mind how the NFL just continues to pump amazing narrated videos out.
How is Saints vs Buccaneers is not on there it was heartbreaking loss for me especially Drew Brees final game.
Kind of surprised that Jets-Patriots 2010 wasn't mentioned here. New England was 14-2 that season, Brady would go on to win the first ever unanimous MVP, and they had blasted the Jets 45-3 on National TV just a few weeks prior. This game also marked the 3rd straight season that New England failed to win a playoff game while Brady was rostered, the longest such stretch of the Brady-Belichick era, and they wouldn't win another Super Bowl for 3 more seasons after that.
Anyone else shocked Red Right 88 didn't make the list?
Why would the Jets announcer be calling game with 10 minutes left 😂 💀
What about in the 2003 divisional round when my Panthers ended the "greatest show on turf" in double OT??
that's what I was thinking. The Rams didn't have a winning season for 13 years, missed the playoffs 12 years in a row, and it got so bad the team left St louis.
Yes was very shocked that game wasn't on the list. That definitely did end that era for the Rams. And I think at the time, it was only like the 2nd or 3rd ever playoff game that went to double overtime!
That Dez catch, I'm still shaking my head over that. And I'm a 9ers fan
you just gotta get used to the refs cheating for the packers every year. fortunately the 49ers are good enough to overcome the cheating most seasons lol
@@bachtuna The Cowboys shouldn't have been in that divisional game anyways. The refs gifted the Cowboys their playoff win over the Lions the week before.
@@Tyrunner0097 the lions aren’t an actual nfl team. They couldn’t beat most college teams. Nobody cares what the lions should of won. That was their best season in team history just making the playoffs 😂😂😂
@@bachtuna Thats irrelevant to the point and a pretty retarded statement about the Lions. Cowboys werent winning that game regardless if Dez caught it or not.
@@ericpadilla2454 packers cheated with the refs so we’re immediately disqualified and lost the game. You saying the R word also shows your a beta male virgin who got bullied growing up 😂
"Raiders fans, we apologize in advance." You should apologize to the Patriots. 2001 was called correctly, 1976 wasn't. Gotta love the homer announcers in the 2001 clip too.
Minneapolis Miracle HAS TO BE on this list!!
The Vikings EVER going to GET ANY Credit? The Rams loss was 6x worse for Saints: Was at home and in the NFC Championship Game.
@@jimnfl7134 And the Rams got away with blatant pass interference
@@DNSKansas that was REVENGE for cheating in Bountygate.
Nah, it sucked, but not really that devastating. The 2017 Saints weren't winning the Super Bowl that year.
- Saints fan
@@aRBy125 Worse teams have won so you'd never know
Too much recency bias. Devastating to me means more than just the loss, but what it symbolized. One of the forgotten games of all time should be on this list...49ers/Cowboys from 1972. Most remembered by folks old enough as "The other playoff game after The Immaculate Reception". Dallas coming back from 28-13 down...Roger Staubach's first signature Captain Comeback moment...and that loss, with San Francisco trying to enact payback after two NFC title game losses the previous years, sent the 49ers in to a tailspin the rest of the decade. Took a couple of guys named Walsh and Montana to get them out. I'd also have Houston/Denver from 1991 AND Houston/KC in 1993 as one combined spot. Warren Moon's Oilers were such underachievers and for all the talk about the blown lead against Buffalo in the 1992 wild card, losing a 15 point halftime lead in Denver and blowing a completely winnable game against Marty Schottenheimer of all people after winning 11 straight games never gets mentioned enough. Those two games summed up who they were perfectly.
I never realized how sad the chargers are as a franchise man they have some painful losses
Saints vs Vikings 2017 divisional hurts so bad
I love listening to the disappointment in the Radio Calls....hilarious
Marlon McCree fumbling the game winning int against the Patriots when the chargers were 14-2, had MVP LT. If that's not on this list, you don't know football
Agreed. That weekend featured the Top 2 seeds in the AFC suffering devastating losses at home after dominating all season. Some say the NFL was conspiring against the Ravens and Chargers in order to have a Brady-Manning AFC Championship Game.
I screamed at the TV for him to get down after that pick, and wasn't remotely surprised at what happened when he didn't.
24:12
@@Tyrone181 i honestly commented at the beginning because I just assumed it wouldn't be on here. Chatgers hella get disrespected
The best lesson I've ever learned in football is "any given sunday". Any given Sunday you can make history, any given Sunday you can lose.
Usually divisional games aren’t that good, but this was fun to watch
Last year all 3 were amazing
NFL really got me watching the un-skippable 15sec adds then hit me the a 5 sec back to back. I’ll only watch them for you NFL, because I love football.
Brother they're a billion dollar company you can skip the ads lol
Awesome video
I miss having the Chargers in San Diego.
They forgot the 1987 49ers loss to the Vikings. Everybody was shocked on that one.
Totally agree!
Took Bill Walsh's GM title away.
Arguably the greatest 49ers squad to that point.
@@sigmanu435 I think so too.
Surprised that the 2019 divisional game between the Texans and the chiefs didn’t make the list. That was the last year the Texans have been relevant and losing the lead and eventually the game in one quarter after being up 24-0 had to been tough on Texan fans
I mean you could say that whole weekend on the AFC side was devastating.
Good one. Yeah that Texans game was over. Who knows what happens with Watson if they win that game
10: Eli and the Giants went on to beat Tom Brady and the Patriots for the second time in five years

This a good showing of the refs deciding games and changing entire men’s careers 😂😂
It really says something about old football that going up 10 with 10 minutes left elicited the announcer to call the game for the Jets. Nowadays we wouldn't even say that with 2 minutes left.
Because the 2 point conversion wasn’t invented until 1994. Defenses were much tighter too. I
Less chances to score with harder hits.
@@gambitacio Two point conversions are totally irrelevant to a 10 point lead.
@@markwalker8846 How the hell is a two point conversion irrelevant in a comeback situation? You *do* watch this sport, right?
@@markwalker8846 It’s relevant when it’s 11 pts for a win, with one less possession.
@@herecomesaregular8418 Because 10 points is a TD, XP, and a FG, which is exactly what happened to tie. If it were an 11 point lead, 2 point conversion would be relevant.
The Colts loss to the Steelers WAS devastating for a year but they came back and finally won the Super Bowl the following year in dramatic fashion. The Jets losing to the Steelers in 2004, now THAT was a devastating loss. Packers losing to the Niners last season as well
I think the Pats-Jets game from 2010 should be at least an honorable mention. With the exception of 07, that was the best chance to win a ring in that 10 year period where it never happened.
It was devastating but the Jets were a very good team that year and were pretty much the only competition they had in the AFC besides Baltimore .
No it wasn't. 2007 was lol
Im a Bengals fan and I feel like we might make this list after Sundays game vs Bills
Bills fan here,Def gonna be a good game. Whoever makes less mistakes wins. Much respect to the team and fannbase tho
Steelers fan and I think y'all are gonna win. Burrow has a moxie that is closest to Tom Brady that I've seen in a while.
I have the Bengals beating the bills they're overrated they almost lost to a 3rd string qb
And to this day, the officials of the NFL can not agree on what a catch is. Dez Bryant caught that ball no one will ever be able to convince me otherwise.
Tuck rule has gotta be number 1. Patriots turned into the greatest dynasty ever and the Raiders are still in the mud.
I know you can't have every one mentioned (and nobody seems to remember how brutal the Giants '89 divisional OT loss to the Rams was) but two missing games really need to be on that list. One is the 1980 AFC Divisional playoff between the Browns and Raiders, as it was a brutally cold winter game with a devastating finish, and also happened on the same day as the 1980 Falcons vs. Cowboys game that's on this video, so the two would go hand in hand. The other that needs to be on this list is the 1987 Divisional Playoff where the best team in the league, the 13-2 San Francisco 49ers somehow lost to the 8-7 Vikings, when Anthony Carter caught 10 passes for over 200 yards, and Joe Montana, with Rice, Taylor, Clark, Jones, Craig, and Rathman, along with his Hall Of Fame O-Line , had the rare terrible game and got beaten soundly at home. Essentially, the same 49ers team would win the next two Super Bowls (getting revenge against the Vikes along the way) and barely came up short in the NFC title game the year after that. When you look back on it, the four 49ers seasons between 1987-1990 saw them go 51-12, and they might have won 4 Super Bowls in a row those years other than the great upset the Vikes performed in '87, and the Lawrence Taylor caused 4rth quarter fumble by Craig in the heartbreaking 15-13 loss to the Giants in '90. Yeah, I'm aware they still would have had to win some more games in '87 and '90, and Buffalo and Washington weren't slouches, but the 49ers would have been the best team in every game they played. The 2000 Titans and the 2007 Cowboys also had some pretty devastating defeats in this category, among a few others that also didn't get mentioned. Heck, the 1979 defeat of the Cowboys by the Rams in Dallas in Staubach's final game when Billy Waddy scored that late 50 yard TD was pretty devastating too, although not for those of us who hated the Cowboys.
Devestating was the term, right?
How is it devestating if you win the next two league crowns?
The poster clearly means devestating based on what the loss meant for the seasons to follow.
Their de-facto..oh by the ways, afterward, posts-example: Team X did not win a playoff game for so-many years after losing, etc., show what they mean by devestating.
Not a Cowboys fan at all but Dez caught it
Even if he did the Packers still win that game
I'm not a fan of either team and I agree.
@@daniellewis5474explain
@@daniellewis5474 lol sure buddy
And yet it was not and they lost. How did the next games go when they met again in the playoffs? As always with these two teams in the last couple of decades, the better team won that game.
23:24 - THE #88...put some respec on dat right der!!! Pearson all the way baby!! I'm glad the NFL finally woke up and put my man in the HOF!! Anyone wearing #88 for ANY team in the NFL....know you are stepping into the realm of Pearson greatness!!
I love all the mic’d up stuff
The 04 Jets against the Steelers should be on this. 3 straight missed game winning field goals? That’s as bad as it gets
If the Tuck rule didn’t exist, the patriots wouldn’t have become the dynasty that we have known.
Only woulda meant one less ring and better draft position for the following season.
@@jrad410bledsoe comes back
@@beastly2231 No, Brady had already proven himself over Bledsoe at that point. Belichick went back to Brady after the afc title game and he’s always gets rid of a player early.
@@jrad410 There are plays that change the course of history - Immaculate Reception, The Catch, Malcolm Butler. No one knows what would've happened had the refs actually made the correct call in 2001, but it likely doesn't end with the Pats producing the greatest dynasty in NFL history.
I remember watching the Bills Chiefs game, I was so tired after work and I kept falling asleep, I remember seeing us score the 13 sec left touchdown and the ESPN app saying the game was over and we won. I was so happy, I passed out with the game still playing and I started having one of those “half asleep, half awake” dreams where you wake up feeling like you were living a nightmare or weird, bad dream. I kept having some kind of nightmare we got blown out and lost the game. So I woke myself up to prove myself that it was just a dream that we lost so I could stay asleep.
It wasn’t a dream. We were in OT and I remember waking up and refreshing the app over and over to see if it was an error. I went back to watch the game and I literally still cannot process the emotion I had to them winning. I to this day cannot enjoy that legendary game because of the denial I had because the ESPN app decided to call the game before it was over.
I love how the raiders beat the patriots with a controversial call and the patriots did the same thing to them 25 years later.
The Pats got screwed far worse in that game than the Raiders did in the tuck rule game. The refs made so many bad calls almost all in Oaklands favor.
Was the Bills Chiefs loss really devastating for Bills fans? I feel like they were the underdog and every fan finished the game with the utmost respect for Allen / Mahomes. And the Bills are still as much a contender now as they were then
Yes it was devastating. Had a chance to finally.beat your nemesis and blow it in 13 seconds? That sucks.
@@aaronjackson9385you also have to factor 1 seed Tennessee had already been upset so they were also 13 seconds from hosting the AFC Championship Game
Love the honorable mention for the '76 Raiders/Pats game. The 70s Pats were a legit team, with HOFers like Tippett and Hannah, but they just couldn't get out of the AFC. They're the bridge to that 85 Pats team that Squished the Fish
Looking forward for the devastating losses in the conference games its alot of them
Man those old chargers teams deserved a ring so bad
Dez Bryant caught that ball.
Just last year the Buccaneers gotta be haunted by that loss. They probably repeat if they beat the Rams.
They were clearly the inferior team the Rams just kept handing them opportunities.
@@gbrow1604 Rams errr but Bucs also we’re banged up. Godwin, AB, Wirfs all out and 3 players got hurt during the game. That blitz call at the end killed em
Chiefs lose on first drive ot game against Tom Brady: sorry, but rules are rules, should've stopped him, lol. Bills lose on first drive ot game against chiefs: this is so unfair, we'd better change the rules for you.
This is not a good list. You had a Cowboys/Falcons game at #3 that has absolutely no historical significance, and is a game most football fans have never heard of. You also somehow left off 4th & 26, literally one of the most painful defeats I've ever seen.
The 4th and 26 was bad, but I don't think it compares to some of the games on the list.
Shutup
I appreciated them talking about it. Always interesting to hear about big games you weren't alive for
Tuck Rule Game started the trend of technically correct, but obviously wrong calls
Yep. But even though the correct call was made by the rule book that day, the rule was eventually removed.
@@vincentmazzola2887 yeah it was a terrible rule
The problem with your statement is that it wasn't even technically correct. There are a few photos that show Brady with both hands on the ball while Woodson's arm is still coming down. Brady was finished tucking the ball, and therefore, even by the rules of the time (which everyone agrees sucked), it was still a fumble.
@@R8rRen good point
Some of those clips made me miss watching games called by Dick Enberg. He was always my favorite, aside from Pat & John.
9 years later and Dallas fans still crying about Dez catching it
I'm not a Cowboys fan and I def think he caught it. The part most people, including Cowboys fans, overlook is the fact there were still 4 minutes left in the game, so it wasn't a guaranteed win.
He did catch it. I am a Giants fan. Create a V-shape with your arm and put a football above it. Not possible to touch the ground.
Well they haven’t won anything since 95 so can’t blame em
You have to remember, this was the same officiating crew that denied Calvin Johnson a game winning TD against the Bears in 2010 on the exact same call. It sucks for Cowboy Nation but its the right call.
@@michaelhession2105 The NFL admitted years later that it should have been a catch
All jokes aside I really think Dez caught it lol
That was complete fuck job and I don't even care about the cowboys anymore. I don't care for Aaron Rodgers as a player but as a person he seems like he's pretty cool. But then again I don't care about the NFL at all but that was a F job.
What difference does it make whether Dallas caught it or not? Romo would have blown the game for Dallas no matter which way the call went.
@@CKO92 Ay look this ain’t even my division let alone conference so I ain’t got no real hat in this fight 🤷🏾♂️ lol
@@tiderbean I feel you.. only cat that still got some of my attention is Mahomes, other than that this league a wash
Dez most certainly caught it. Back then you had to “perform a football move” after the catch to be considered a completion. Dez was reaching out to the goal line (football move) trying to score the TD.
That Jets announcer was celebrating a guaranteed win with a 10 point lead with 10 minutes remaining in the game???
Charlie Steiner said that with 4 minutes left actually. But he would have been right if there weren't a roughing the passer call just after the 2 minute warning.
Where are the Cleveland Browns in the 1980 AFC Divisional against the Oakland Raiders? The "Mistake by the Lake" game.
Never forget that Terry Bradshaw was the original TB12.
poor Dez, looked like a damn catch
Honestly I'm sure he's just saying Jerry just signed the f****** check I don't give a f***.
This video is so fun and awesome
Do this but instead with super bowls I would love to see that.
Dez Bryant needs to remember that he must maintain possession of the ball throughout the entire process of contacting the ground!
*must
MUST
Dez Bryant 😔
Love this list. Minneapolis Miracle and Red Right 88 could have been included, but good choices.
Dez definitely caught that ball! Reds really have cost teams huge games! Can’t blame them for everything but to say they don’t have a serious effect on the game is a understatement
Nope! He didn’t catch it. The rule was kind of new back then so most didn’t understand it. If that Dez play happened right now everyone would know it was a drop the second it happened
@@davidlarsen-tj4tncan you explain why that would be ruled not a catch? I'm only a casual NFL fan. To my viewing, he caught it, took a couple steps, hit the ground. Yes, the ball shifted, but he held it against his helmet, then let it go and sort of "re-caught" it after. If he had possession when the ball broke the end zone line and was down before the ball "came out," how isn't it a catch? Thanks for any clarification; I'm genuinely curious!
@@davidlarsen-tj4tn according to the rules as per 2014, 2 or more steps with control and hip, elbow or knee down before the ball hits the ground. Dez took 3 steps with control and had had hip, knee and forearm down before the ball popped up. So according to 2014 it was 100% a catch in more ways than 1.
@@tfriscethe guy is acting dumb, it was a catch according to the rules but the refs ruined it.
GO BENGALS
FIRST
I love watching the cowboys choke 😂🤣🎉
Chiefs v. Texans was pretty good too as an honorable mention. Texans up 24 pts at 10:00 in the 2nd but Chiefs score 28 pts in those remaining 10m.
Dez didn’t catch it
Go Big blue!! Like this comment if you like the giants!
Even if they ruled it a catch let’s not pretend Rodgers doesn’t match down the field to win the game
0:29
I pretty much stopped watching the playoffs after this game. That's how fed up I was with the Giants back then 😂.
