No disrespect to early greats like George Halas, Knute Rockne, Pop Warner, and Alonzo Stagg, but what did head coaches DO before Paul Brown? He pioneered film study. He created the playbook. He introduced the platoon system. He invented the face mask! P.S.--I love your MST3K thumbnail.
@@robertlevine2827 Well Halas FOUNDED the NFL. Pop Warner created the single and double wing formations, the three-point stance etc. Here's what Stagg did courtesy of wikipedia: Ends-back formation (1890)[40] Reverse play (1890)[30][40] 7-2-2 defense (1890)[41] First indoor game (1891)[40] First book on football with diagrams (1893; with Minnesota's Henry Williams)[40] First intersectional game (1894)[40] center snap (1894; John Heisman and Walter Camp claimed to have invented it in 1893)[42] onside kick (1894; possibly contributor)[42][43] huddle (1896)[6][40] quick kick (1896)[42] Short punt (1896)[44] Spiral snap (1896; contributor alongside Walter Camp, George Washington Woodruff and Germany Schulz)[42][45] line shift (1897)[43] placement kick (1897; Stagg believed Princeton used it earlier)[42] lateral pass (1898)[6] tackling dummy (1899)[6][46] unbalanced line (1900)[43] Notre Dame Box (1905)[44] varsity letters (1906)[6] Statue of Liberty play (1908)[47] uniform numbers (1913)[6] T formation (contributor)[48] forward pass (contributor alongside Eddie Cochems and Walter Camp)[42] man in motion[6][43] sleeper play[43] quarterback keeper[48] delayed buck[49] linebacker position[49] hip pads[49] numerical designation of plays[6] padded goalposts[6] end-around[6] Remember everything in football had to have an origin. Including the first guy who came up with the idea of let's throw this pointy ball (and I imagine there's an innovator for the ball too) and say if we catch it, that means he gained yards.
He's a great one. To change up his whole personal style and go from hated to absolutely loved, and two time SB champion - gotta give it to Coach Coughlin. I know we NY Giants fans love him.
Honorable Mention: Giants at Packers in the 2011 Divisional Game. The 9-7 Giants won 37-20 and beat MVP Aaron Rodgers and the season 15-1 Packers in Lambeau Field. The 2011 Packers became the first team in NFL History to go 15-1 and lose their first playoff game.
Man. That game was such a bummer. That was the best team I’ve ever seen. The offense was lightning. Rodgers threw 45 TDs to just 6 INTs. That was (offensively) the best team I ever saw. But they rested starters and were rusty against the Giants and blew it. Real bummer.
That game put me in a depression for weeks, and it was made much worse when NY went on to win the Super Bowl. Never had I felt so low at anytime in watching sports.
@@Steve_Hunts96 did anyone notice a pattern there?. The Giants went on the road again in the playoffs beat everyone for the nfc championship had to go to Green bay to play the Packers won that game and then went to superbowl 46 and beat. New England. It was like a repeat of four years before that
I still remember how loud the boos were while watching that game on TV. The boos from Packers fans were so loud that it practically drowned out the commentary. The Packers played atrocious in that game. The Giants always seemed to catch the elite teams on a bad day.
Neither deserve to be scapegoats. The Sox blame it on a single players error, but they had a complete game to make it right. The Bills were shut down, out coached and put the pressure on an average kickers shoulders. Norwood was grudgingly forgiven in buffalo, Buckner was not so lucky. I'm sure they both needed plenty of therapy
You could tell the team players from the ones that weren't teammates by how many padded Norwood on the head afterwards and how many walk past him like he was a bum. The team walked in there together they can walk out together
As a fan of both teams on the other side of both of those, neither deserve the blame they get. In 1986, Buckner even if he fields that ball, he doesn’t beat or get the ball to first to beat Wilson. The game was already tied, people make it seem like they were ahead and that was going to end the Series. The Sox already choked that game away. With Norwood, that kick wasn’t in his range. The game shouldn’t have been left to that. Poor clock management and execution put it there. Yes, both could have made the plays and we wouldn’t even be discussing it, but to blame them entirely is wrong in my opinion. That being said, two of my favorite sports moments ever.
@@Milkman-xp3nj That was an upset but a majority of the country that weren't sportswriters wanted the Titans to beat us so that KC could win its first AFC Championship at home.
I remember the 1990 Giants. I remember that they, along with San Francisco, were the only two unbeaten teams after Week 10. In Week 11, they met on Monday night and San Francisco won that game by a score of 7-3. They were a premiere team all season and the only injustice here was that they were seven point underdogs in the Superbowl. All that proves is that the bookmakers frequently don't know what they are talking about. In the history of the game, the favorites are only 55% against the spread. That year, the Giants had two other teams in their division with ten wins that they had to play twice. The worst team in their division was the 5-11 Cardinals. The Bills only had the Dolphins to contend with in their own division, and they played the 1-15 Patriots twice. The strength of schedule rankings had the Giants with the fourth most difficult schedule, and the Bills with the 12th most difficult schedule, yet they both finished 13-3 after the regular season. The Bills had a few blowout victories over relatively weak teams, which padded their offensive stats. The Giants didn't have blowouts because they were the #1 ranked defensive unit in the NFL. You couldn't score on them, so they didn't need to put up monster offensive numbers to win games. The 1990 Superbowl was just another case of odds makers being blown away by offensive theatrics and not paying attention to how individual players on the field matched up to one another. The game shouldn't be on the list of greatest upsets, in my opinion, because it wasn't an upset at all. The Giants did to the Bills what they did to everyone else all season, which was mostly stop their offense. Norwood's field goal attempt wasn't a chip shot like so many people pretend it was. It was a 47 yard attempt, which was considered the upper limit of his range. In his career on grass fields, he was one of five in field goals over 40 yards.
The Giants had a true backup QB and an old fullback starter because Rodney Hampton got hurt in the playoff game vs the Bears. So people rightly thought the Giants offense was far far inferior to the the Bills, compared to vice versa.
@@ywc19 the Giants held the Bills to 17 points just a few weeks before and by this time Hostetler had proven that he was more than capable of filling in for Simms. The Giants didn't exactly light up the field when Simms was out there either. There is no way in this world they should have been ten point favorites facing that defense.
Denver fan weighing in: yes that game should be on the updated list. 2012 was the best of the peyton manning teams (top 5 offense and defense). denver had crushed the ravens in baltimore during the regular season and was on an 11 game win streak. Add in all the big plays from that game....easily on the list
Yeah but this is old and I'm headed it but yes I've been waiting 2 and they took the top 10 coaches that didn't belong in college off now I forgot the name of that Oilers coach please somebody remind me
It's crazy to me to think someone could look at Paul Brown, a guy whos existence helped create 2 franchises, was one of the winningest coaches of all times, won so many titles no matter the league, won so many coach of the year awards no matter the year. The audacity someone back then could look at him and go "yeah, high school coach." That will forever be one of the biggest upsets of all time against the Eagles given how fixed that was to make him look bad.
It is history, but I think it helps us, today. Don't sell out the mavericks, and the geniuses. P. Brown created the modern NFL, in his head. He didn't give up. Personally, I put him up there with Copernicus, Einstein, and MLK. The dude saw things that we couldn't see.
Amen. And I'm tired of Otto Graham not even being considered when it comes to the GOAT QB conversation. As he has SEVEN Championship rings and led the Browns to the Championship game in every single season of his career. There's a reason he's on the All-Time team. Dude was way ahead of his time and is one of those guys from that team - the other is Marion Motley - who was a monster of a fullback and, like Jim Brown, all three of these guys would have been great in ANY era. Especially Motley, a guy who was the size of a modern linebacker with speed like Jim Brown. Teams would be tripping over themselves to draft/sign a guy like that.
0:00 Super Bowl IV. 3:53 The 1987 Vikings-49ers Divisional Game. 6:46 Super Bowl XXV. 10:44 The 1987 Commanders-Cowboys Monday Night Football Game. 13:51 The 1996 Jaguars-Broncos Divisional Match. 17:05 Super Bowl XXXII. 20:30 The Cleveland Browns' first-ever game in franchise history. 23:48 Super Bowl XXXVI. 28:32 Super Bowl XLII. 32:37 Super Bowl III.
Thanks for the list, but it was Cleveland's first NFL game. They existed for four years prior to joining the league. Let's not erase nearly half of the career of the great Otto Graham.
Scott Norwood's missed kick was longer than any field goal he had ever made. Hr put all he could into it, and it had plenty of distance, but he lost the accuracy with the extra effort.
It's actually pretty incredible to think about how much the AFC had to overcome to garner respect ... imagine an upstart professional football league today taking a run at the NFL ... I know its a whole lot different today compared to then but still ... pretty crazy
IIRC ABC carried the AFL games in the '60s (CBS had the NFL, again IIRC; NBC got the contract for the AFC in the '70s and ABC got MNF.) Anyway... I always enjoyed watching the AFL games more than the NFL, especially when they had the Chargers playing. The amount of passing (vs the NFL) was just crazy and the games were much more exciting. Of course in the '60s you only got to watch your local team (Bears for me; they sucked after '63 until the '80s) and there weren't doubleheaders until after the merger.
Another honorable mention: Jets at Patriots 2010 Divisional Playoffs: Rex Ryan and the 11-5 Jets lost to the Patriots in their second matchup of the season 6 weeks prior 45-3. Then they march into Foxboro and beat MVP Tom Brady and the 14-2 Patriots 28-21. It was the only time that the Pats have not won a Super Bowl after finishing the season 14-2.
I was at that game with 7 buddies, and we were all dressed in JETS green! We took so much abuse before, and during the game...until the we won. Those patriot fans walked out of that stadium like Zombies 🧟♀️! Nobody gave us a chance
Most of these illustrate the fact that great defense almost always trumps great offense, and yet every year people drool over the high-flying offenses.
In this NFL I still agree for the most part that defense wins but.... Given the rules and how the games played these days and the athletes I'm not saying offense wins the Superbowl but it's VERY VERY hard now days for a defense to win rings. Not impossible in fact I believe defense will win the Rams the Superbowl this year 2022 but the game now favors offense over defense
You all may think the Giants team from Super Bowl 42 wasn't all that good, but keep in mind they were the best road team in the NFL winning 11 straight road games including all 3 playoff games and the Super Bowl which they were the road team for that.
I just hate that Drew had his worst game after a record breaking season. I give props to your team having their best game after stinking it up against the Packers.
@@stuartb9323 and we did it twice lol. I know my giants need work. But if we never win another game. I can say eli got two rings and he got them from brady!
@@frankjones5770 Oh Yes!!! I felt like my team won the Superbowl when the Giants beat them those two games. I was surrounded by patriot fans at a SB party for the 18-1 game. Wearing a Namath jersey of course...oh that was so sweet. Thank you Frank, and your Giants!
@@stuartb9323 lol i was at work. Just finished. Was in the break room for the final minutes. It was so glorious. I have an annoying cousin that loves them and it felt so good to shut him up. I didn't even rub it in. Lol. Just let the win speak for me lol
Even though I´m a die hard Colts fan, the two Superbowls, where The Giants beat the Patriots stand as my favorite Football memories, with Peyton´s amazing comeback against The Patriots in 2009 a close third. Winning the Superbowl over the Bears was sweet too, but it was against an opponent I knew we couldn´t lose to (they had Rex Grossman on QB, for Christ sake!), which made it feel less special. Watching the Patriots lose, just always made me feel good! Now with Brady finally gone, I hope they have some terrible years ahead of them.
@@jamesnelson5618 Manning carried the Colts for most of the decade; their D consistently sucked. Brady played on a very good/great team his entire time. Manning is GOAT #1.
@@indy_go_blue6048 he need 5+ Rings just to become one if he's doesn't get foiled turn the ball over at that point so there maybe Record that he has that no other QB won't surpassed or broken however it doesn't mean he came far to become Goat of Goats of American major Sports on any position as Brady unless he Earn 5+ Rings then Yes so therefore He still all time Great legends as I believe.
It's funny how what the Patriots did to the Rams the Giants ended up doing to them in super bowl 42. In both cases an unconventional, physical defensive plan helped carve the way to victory, built upon an earlier season meeting in which the team that won the SB lost the regular season game.
The lore goes back even further if you include Bill, dude basically had that gameplan for the Bills when he was DC for the Giants, he had to be sick to see it bite his ass not once but twice.
Lions have not won a Playoff game since 1991 season. 30 years, 2022 will make it 31 years if they don't make the playoffs and win a game. Presently the Jets hold the longest streak of not making the Playoffs, at 11 seasons. If they don't make playoffs in 2022 that will make 12 seasons (or is it 10/11? I forget).
Hank Stram was classic boys !! ....Also 4 my Vikes " Best WIN EVER as a fan was 1987 vs SF !! " The Anthony Carter Game " CLASSIC !! I was just 24 on that day ! Beautiful time to be young !
2005 Divisional Steelers (11-5) vs Colts (14-2) should have been on this list as well as the 2006 Divisional with the Patriots (12-4) vs Chargers (14-2), both games had missed critical field goals (Mike Vanderjagt and Nate Kaeding respectively).
@@dawsonindustries You're wrong to hate on Vanderjagt. If Bettis hadn't fumbled on the Colts 1-yard line while P was running out the clock, he wouldn't have even been in that position. Vdj was one hell of a good kicker. He made all of his XPs and was 25/28 in FGs and 7/8 on FGs of 40+ yards in '05. Vdj had a big mouth and Indy needed a scapegoat for the loss; Mike made a good one.
@@indy_go_blue6048 The real truth behind that game was that the run-first Steelers came out of the gate throwing the football, and Ben Roethlisberger was actually and surprisingly outplaying Peyton. Steelers led 21-3. A Troy Polamalu interception should have ended the game at 21-10. But he fumbled the ball and recovered it. The Colts challenged it with no expectation of winning, but the refs made an AWFUL call on the review, (worse than any call the Steelers benefited from in the Super Bowl Vs. Seattle 3 weeks later), and this scenario was the only reason the game was even close. The goalline scenario where Bettis fumbled, Ben tackling Nick Harper by the shoelace, the Vandergat miss, none of it even should have happened, but it did! Oh and Nick Harper, the guy who almost took the Bettis fumble to the house who was tackled by the shoelace, he was stabbed in the leg a week prior. emotional play for everyone involved, absolutely legendary
That was a pretty big upset but idk about number 1 cus it was just a divisional game. That should prolly be somewhere 5-10. Not just the fact cus it was big upset but the Titans handily beat the Ravens. Ravens had no chance from start to finish. I’d rate it as top 5-6 upset of all time personally.
@@michaelhession2105 I'm not a Ravens fan but they seem to do better when they're underdogs in 2000 they wasn't the favorites the Titans were. 2012 they wasn't a favorite the broncos were 13-3 and the top defense in the AFC and a really good offensive and I believe they were underdogs against the Patriots in the AFC championship game and against the 49ers in super bowl. 2008 the Ravens we're under dogs went on the road and beat two division winners including the 13-3 Titans before they lost to the Steelers and AFC title game. But when the Ravens are the favorite it doesn't seem to work out well for them. In 2006 the Ravens were 13-3 with the top defense in the league and they lose at home to the colts who had the worst Rush defense in the league. And 2018 they get dominated at home by the chargers in the playoffs the same charger team that the Ravens dominated in los Angeles I think in like week 11. And then in 2019 the Ravens were 15-1 and a 9-7 Titans team come in and dominate you.
@@pp3k3jamail The Chargers game was in Week 16, the reason LA beat us was that they had basically played us 1 week later. Not to mention the Titans game in 2019 was against their old Defensive Coordinator.
Listen I know the Vikings won that game, but saying that Joe Montana’s age is catching up with him right before he goes on to win two straight super bowls has gotta be one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard 😂
I was in grade 9 when youtube was started, I graduated at 17 and my lil bro was born. For him, youtube has always been there, I find it easy to tell him to "youtube it" when I'm talking about something, and sure enough it's there. None of this watching sports channel endlessly waiting for the guide to say "top 10" of something LOL
@Harry Engel Absolutely. I am a big offensive lineman proponent for the Hall each and every year, and I felt there were 3 LT's of absolute stunning quality in that era. It went Jones, Ogden, and Boselli. If there ever was an era where the best 3 LT's should go into the hall, Boselli helps make that argument. His domination against Smith in the playoffs is where you should start with his profile. It says a lot that when the Texans started as a franchise, they attempted to pick him up despite what would be a career ending injury. You just dont get players like that.
@Harry Engel Yes, definitely. Nothing's ever certain in the NFL, but the Broncos would have had a VERY good chance at a three-peat. They picked a bad day to have a bad day. It's greatly to their credit that they came back and reached their potential in the following two years. If Elway hadn't been 157 years old and had stayed on one more year, a four-peat would have been very possible...they went from 14-2 to 6-10 when he retired.
People sometimes wonder why the Jets-Colts game was such a big deal, but these teams were in two entirely different LEAGUES just a few years earlier. It would be like the XFL being allowed to play against the NFL and a few years later they're winning the Super Bowl against impossible odds. The AFL wasn't supposed to be winning anything. They were a whipping boy for the NFL to show its mastery of the game. It was kind of like the NFL said, "Okay, we'll let you in on our little fun. But we hope you know your role." That Jets-Colts game changed pretty much everything. Now it's not the NFL and AFL, it's the NFL with the NFC and AFC as conferences. Teams on equal playing ground, a complete league. That's what the Jets-Colts game did. When one game changes an entire league, that's special.
@@melanielazare9 No it's a crime that those scabs didn't get a Super Bowl ring. If Dan Snyder had 2 cents of brains or if his public relations guy did, he'd make a grand spectacle of it and honor those forgotten Skins.
"We went to New England and beat them earlier in the year" 24-17......"nobody thought they could win." Yeah that 7 point victory earlier in the year must have been more conclusive. Than any other one score victory that I've ever seen.
He said that they did it in the cold. The Rams were a passing team. He was thinking that if they could win on the road in the cold by 7, they would destroy them in a dome stadium.
I had heard that in 1987, Redskins made sure to have a way to contact the guys they cut in training camp, so they would have players who at least had some familiarity with the team's system and each other.
Their mention of the Niners being upset got me thinking of their dominance in the past where they were 5-0 in the superbowl and now in 2024 they’ve been in three subsequent super bowls and I almost feel bad for them to an extent because they’ve lost each one of them in heartbreak at the end of each of those games. And in the prior two against the Chiefs it almost makes you reflect on all the games for so many years where Joe Cool calmly took them down the field to win like clockwork. And in these past two it’s like they have gotten to experience the inverse where they have to face the ice cold comeback guy who snatches away the close battles from them even when they’ve played really well the entire game. Just interesting how different time periods can adjust what a franchise and its fan base experience
I definitely agree. This is a very niche stat but after winning there 5th Super Bowl the 49ers had a Super Bowl point differential of +99 and could’ve been the first team to reach the +100 point mark but since they’ve lost there last 3 appearances they could still do it but now the Cowboys are closer to that mark.
Bob "Ralph"Baker was a linebacker for the Jets. He is from my hometown of Lewistown, PA. He and my dad childhood friends, and still are. Ralph came back to Lewistown and was a high school teacher and football coach. He still lives in the area.
Brown beating the eagles in 1950. That's what I love about football. No one believes in them but you can't tamper with the play. On the field they forced everyone to respect them. That is what I love about this game.
I like the 73-0 NFL Champ Game. What people don't realized is, it was really COLD!!! The field was frozen, all ice. One team manage to get proper foot wear for such conditions. The other team was wearing the same old cleats. So ice skating around. So the team with the better footwear, who could get a footing and run, etc. WON!!!
They were a 2nd-year expansion team, 9-7, going up against a 13-3 team. There was no respect at all for Jacksonville for that game. Everyone thought they got lucky against Buffalo and they were going to get destroyed by the Broncos.
Honourable mention Seahawks vs patriots Super Bowl XLIX 2015 Don’t forget in 2014 Super Bowl champions were Seahawks everyone was rooting for Russell Wilson, Marshawn Lynch, Bobby Wagner, Earl Thomas, Richard Sherman, Doug Baldwin, Michael Bennett, Kam Chancellor, K.J. Wright
As a Patriots hater, seeing the Patriots undefeated season go down in violent flames was the greatest moment of my life from the Entertainment side. I laughed, and laughed, and laughed, and laughed.
Honorable mention from this past post-season (2021-22): Niners, who had managed to sneak into the playoffs in the last week of the season, defeating the Last Dance Packers in Lambeau Field. An absolutely stunning outcome that nobody expected.
Can someone explain 28:05 to me? Does that mean head to head matches? How can you be 10 games above or below .500 in a season fewer than 20 games long?
Joe Gibbs’s best coaching was in 1987.... he won the Super Bowl that year with the best team (not one player crossed the picket line under Gibbs’s request); with a QB he was going to trade at the beginning of the season but said no that he had a feeling he would win it for them and a QB who was only named the starter at the start of the playoffs; and took a bunch of guys off the street and won all of his replacement games including the one against the Cowboys who had all but one of the regulars. Hell of a coach.
Giants beating the Bills is not that big of an upset. Giants were a great team especially on defense. They had just beat the 49ers who were the best team in the league three years running. Beating the 49ers in the nfc championship game was a bigger upset. Giants Bills turned out to be one of the greatest super bowls but I think Bills vs. 49ers would have been an even better game.
I am not a Patriot's fan by any stretch, but; in that Super Bowl against the Giants (when NE was 18-0), you can see Holding (just put RUclips on .5 or half Video Speed) on 2 at least (two) Giants linemen when Manning is running around looking for Tyree. When it's 3rd Down and 5 yards to go (1:16 on the clock), just look at the 2 Patriots squeezed between #'s 60 & 69 (at 30:47). #60 clearly holds and #69 does an excellent job of obstructing the view (after #60 already held Richard Seymour, #93 the Pat's best defensive lineman). Then, if you go further (in Slow Motion) of the first missed Holding calls, you can clearly see the Giant's #66 Holding the Patriot's #98. This was ridiculously fixed for one of the Manning's to win a Super Bowl. Remember, Archie and his son Peyton hadn't won any Super Bowl's yet. The Ref's were watching Manning, not the linemen that were clearly holding a superior Belichick Defense (especially on that 3rd Down). This was a poorly officiated ending, plain and simple.
Davis playing thru a migraine is one of the gutsiest things I’ve seen. You don’t understand a migraine headache until you have one. They’re completely debilitating. When he said he can’t see he wasn’t joking. The pain is unreal.
the Giants should have beat the pats in week 17 that same year...….one big play and 2 personal fouls cost them....they were up 4 points late if I remember
ill never forget watching that thinking as a Giant fan...what a fckin game! imagine this is our Super bowl? we all laughed as Giant fans.. but that was the spark
@@artofficialintelligence2875 I remember that game as well and it turned out to be a war!. And I thought to myself if the Patroits met these guys in the superbowl that New England was gonna be in trouble!!!!!.
The former AFL teams only won 7 of the first 31 Super Bowls. (Chiefs, Jets, Dolphins twice and Raiders 3 times). Since then they’ve won 10 of the last 23. (Patriots 6, Broncos 3 and Chiefs). The Bills, Titans, Bengals and Chargers are all still looking for their first Super Bowl win.
Scott Norwood is a human being. Scott Norwood has a family that loves him. Scott Norwood was a good kicker. Scott Norwood was great at his job, and won many football games. Don't send hate to Scott Norwood.
John Elway had one hell of a career going to 3 Super Bowls losing them and going to back to back Super Bowls and won 2 of them that right there is the perfect Hollywood ending in NFL history
#3 and #2 are similar in that both the Patriots and the Rams and the Giants and Pats played each other during the regular season and both lost close games. Both teams walked away from those games thinking that if they played them again, they could win. Both the Rams in 2002 and the Pats in 2008 would have won those Super Bowls if it wasn't for the first match where the "underdog" gained confidence.
And the game in Thanksgiving of 1962 when the previous undefeated Packers lost to the Lions. That was as I may recall the only time Vince Lombardi lost a game as heavily favored.
Ooofff that '96 Bronco game still hurts. I can remember standing there at the end with some of my family and friends and being like, you gotta be kidding me!!!!! Ahhhh the memories of winning and losing, that's what builds character and devotion. You can have your heart broken over and over but when you finally win ain't nothing as sweet. That's what makes a true fan is being there the next pre-season going okay let's get it it's a new season. Gotta say the NFL has been a huge part of my families history that I wouldn't trade it for anything. Those are the memories that I still cherish!!!!!!!!
Jeff hostetler beat hof qb jim kelly in the superbowl. A game the giants were considered underdogs. Cant be topped? Hostetler's only claim to fame was narrowly beating a heavily favored bills team stacked with hof talent: bruce smith, andre reed, james lofton. Bruce smith and jim kelly. The giants are typical sb underdogs who mastered the art of defying the odds in the big game winning 4 of 5 superbowls they played in
To me, the eagles were favored. Remember that same eagles team blew out a powerful defense in the NFC championship game. Patriots barely won against the other top defense in the league
@@cobracmr4 Bruh, after that final play, I didn't even realize it was over. I was like "watch the refs somehow give him something." Then the announcers started calling it and I sat there stunned for a second.
Grrrrr!!! That was ridiculous. How the heck did we lose that game? Against a journeyman QB who wasn't that good, and went moving around the NFL after the SB.
The biggest story of Super Bowl 3 was Jets DC Walt Michaels & D-Line Coach Buddy Ryan beating the Colts Offense. Namath was an ace that ppl don’t understand due to stats. He basically had a 4 year career due to injuries & was a passer as good as any who ever played the game.
I remember that Packers and Broncos Bowl game. I placed several bets on the Broncos as soon as they won the AFC. Didn't care if it was San Fran or Green Bay. In hindsight, I could've been broke.
Add 2020 Jets vs Rams. The Jets were 0-13 and eliminated from the playoffs, while the Rams were 8-4 and they were trying to clinch a playoff berth. The Jets beat the Rams 23-20, and the Jets led 20-10 in the half. The Rams were top 10 in the league in offense and defense, and the Jets were ranked 32nd in offense and 30th in defense. Also the Jets lost to the Seahawks 40-3 last week.

Remember everything in football had to have an origin. Including the first guy who came up with the idea of let's throw this pointy ball (and I imagine there's an innovator for the ball too) and say if we catch it, that means he gained yards.

Sad thing is that this was uploaded in 2008
U mean the Jets actually had a good team at one time?.
If this was a newer list, no question that would be on there
@@michaelweizer7794 with SANCHEZ?!?!?
The jets had a fantastic defense that year
Honorable Mention:
Giants at Packers in the 2011 Divisional Game. The 9-7 Giants won 37-20 and beat MVP Aaron Rodgers and the season 15-1 Packers in Lambeau Field. The 2011 Packers became the first team in NFL History to go 15-1 and lose their first playoff game.
Man. That game was such a bummer. That was the best team I’ve ever seen. The offense was lightning. Rodgers threw 45 TDs to just 6 INTs. That was (offensively) the best team I ever saw. But they rested starters and were rusty against the Giants and blew it. Real bummer.
That game put me in a depression for weeks, and it was made much worse when NY went on to win the Super Bowl. Never had I felt so low at anytime in watching sports.
I laughed that whole game
@@Steve_Hunts96 did anyone notice a pattern there?. The Giants went on the road again in the playoffs beat everyone for the nfc championship had to go to Green bay to play the Packers won that game and then went to superbowl 46 and beat. New England. It was like a repeat of four years before that
I still remember how loud the boos were while watching that game on TV. The boos from Packers fans were so loud that it practically drowned out the commentary. The Packers played atrocious in that game. The Giants always seemed to catch the elite teams on a bad day.
Scott Norwood and Bill Buckner: Two amazing players remembered for a single blunder in a single big game...
Neither deserve to be scapegoats. The Sox blame it on a single players error, but they had a complete game to make it right. The Bills were shut down, out coached and put the pressure on an average kickers shoulders. Norwood was grudgingly forgiven in buffalo, Buckner was not so lucky. I'm sure they both needed plenty of therapy
We can now add Nelson Cruz to that list.
@@DaveAnchovies At least neither of them go the Mitch Williams treatment.
You could tell the team players from the ones that weren't teammates by how many padded Norwood on the head afterwards and how many walk past him like he was a bum. The team walked in there together they can walk out together
As a fan of both teams on the other side of both of those, neither deserve the blame they get.
In 1986, Buckner even if he fields that ball, he doesn’t beat or get the ball to first to beat Wilson. The game was already tied, people make it seem like they were ahead and that was going to end the Series. The Sox already choked that game away.
With Norwood, that kick wasn’t in his range. The game shouldn’t have been left to that. Poor clock management and execution put it there.
Yes, both could have made the plays and we wouldn’t even be discussing it, but to blame them entirely is wrong in my opinion.
That being said, two of my favorite sports moments ever.
Titans 28 Ravens 12
AFC Divisional Playoff 2019
The World's Biggest Fan too soon :(
I liked that one but because I'm a Chiefs fan I have to go with the super bowl 31-20 after being down 20-10 and no one had us winning
@@Milkman-xp3nj Who cares, besides Ravens Fans?
@@Milkman-xp3nj That was an upset but a majority of the country that weren't sportswriters wanted the Titans to beat us so that KC could win its first AFC Championship at home.
Tyler Prince that wasn’t really an upset tho bc the chiefs were the favorites
I remember the 1990 Giants. I remember that they, along with San Francisco, were the only two unbeaten teams after Week 10. In Week 11, they met on Monday night and San Francisco won that game by a score of 7-3. They were a premiere team all season and the only injustice here was that they were seven point underdogs in the Superbowl. All that proves is that the bookmakers frequently don't know what they are talking about. In the history of the game, the favorites are only 55% against the spread.
That year, the Giants had two other teams in their division with ten wins that they had to play twice. The worst team in their division was the 5-11 Cardinals. The Bills only had the Dolphins to contend with in their own division, and they played the 1-15 Patriots twice. The strength of schedule rankings had the Giants with the fourth most difficult schedule, and the Bills with the 12th most difficult schedule, yet they both finished 13-3 after the regular season. The Bills had a few blowout victories over relatively weak teams, which padded their offensive stats. The Giants didn't have blowouts because they were the #1 ranked defensive unit in the NFL. You couldn't score on them, so they didn't need to put up monster offensive numbers to win games.
The 1990 Superbowl was just another case of odds makers being blown away by offensive theatrics and not paying attention to how individual players on the field matched up to one another. The game shouldn't be on the list of greatest upsets, in my opinion, because it wasn't an upset at all. The Giants did to the Bills what they did to everyone else all season, which was mostly stop their offense.
Norwood's field goal attempt wasn't a chip shot like so many people pretend it was. It was a 47 yard attempt, which was considered the upper limit of his range. In his career on grass fields, he was one of five in field goals over 40 yards.
The Giants had a true backup QB and an old fullback starter because Rodney Hampton got hurt in the playoff game vs the Bears. So people rightly thought the Giants offense was far far inferior to the the Bills, compared to vice versa.
@@ywc19 the Giants held the Bills to 17 points just a few weeks before and by this time Hostetler had proven that he was more than capable of filling in for Simms. The Giants didn't exactly light up the field when Simms was out there either. There is no way in this world they should have been ten point favorites facing that defense.
Great points and I bet G men that day also if you look at Norwood field goal attempt the laces were facing him
Honorary mention: Ravens vs. Broncos (2013 AFC Divisional Round) -- that is a definite ticket of one the greatest "forgotten" playoff games ever
jags broncos......I didn't even watch Brunnell win that one because I didn't think he had a chance
I’m a ravens fan, one of the greatest games I’ve ever watched
Denver fan weighing in: yes that game should be on the updated list. 2012 was the best of the peyton manning teams (top 5 offense and defense). denver had crushed the ravens in baltimore during the regular season and was on an 11 game win streak.

It's crazy to me to think someone could look at Paul Brown, a guy whos existence helped create 2 franchises, was one of the winningest coaches of all times, won so many titles no matter the league, won so many coach of the year awards no matter the year. The audacity someone back then could look at him and go "yeah, high school coach." That will forever be one of the biggest upsets of all time against the Eagles given how fixed that was to make him look bad.
It is history, but I think it helps us, today. Don't sell out the mavericks, and the geniuses. P. Brown created the modern NFL, in his head. He didn't give up. Personally, I put him up there with Copernicus, Einstein, and MLK. The dude saw things that we couldn't see.
@@Redmenace96 NFL Films did a video on top game changers and he's listed at Number 1! Which just shows how many people agree with your viewpoint too.
While you’re correct about Paul Brown, the naysayers said that in 1950. Years before the accord this accolades. The Bengals came to exist in 1965.
Amen. And I'm tired of Otto Graham not even being considered when it comes to the GOAT QB conversation. As he has SEVEN Championship rings and led the Browns to the Championship game in every single season of his career. There's a reason he's on the All-Time team. Dude was way ahead of his time and is one of those guys from that team - the other is Marion Motley - who was a monster of a fullback and, like Jim Brown, all three of these guys would have been great in ANY era. Especially Motley, a guy who was the size of a modern linebacker with speed like Jim Brown. Teams would be tripping over themselves to draft/sign a guy like that.
As a Philly fan, the 02 NFC Championship against the Bucs has my approval. My 11 year old heart is hardened to this day.

Matriculating. They do tend to over use and misuse that word alot.
Scott Norwood's missed kick was longer than any field goal he had ever made. Hr put all he could into it, and it had plenty of distance, but he lost the accuracy with the extra effort.
It's actually pretty incredible to think about how much the AFC had to overcome to garner respect ... imagine an upstart professional football league today taking a run at the NFL ... I know its a whole lot different today compared to then but still ... pretty crazy
IIRC ABC carried the AFL games in the '60s (CBS had the NFL, again IIRC; NBC got the contract for the AFC in the '70s and ABC got MNF.) Anyway... I always enjoyed watching the AFL games more than the NFL, especially when they had the Chargers playing. The amount of passing (vs the NFL) was just crazy and the games were much more exciting. Of course in the '60s you only got to watch your local team (Bears for me; they sucked after '63 until the '80s) and there weren't doubleheaders until after the merger.

Most of these illustrate the fact that great defense almost always trumps great offense, and yet every year people drool over the high-flying offenses.
Offense brings in crowds, defense brings home rings
Entertainment better than victories
In this NFL I still agree for the most part that defense wins but.... Given the rules and how the games played these days and the athletes I'm not saying offense wins the Superbowl but it's VERY VERY hard now days for a defense to win rings. Not impossible in fact I believe defense will win the Rams the Superbowl this year 2022 but the game now favors offense over defense

Winning the Superbowl over the Bears was sweet too, but it was against an opponent I knew we couldn´t lose to (they had Rex Grossman on QB, for Christ sake!), which made it feel less special.

It's funny how what the Patriots did to the Rams the Giants ended up doing to them in super bowl 42. In both cases an unconventional, physical defensive plan helped carve the way to victory, built upon an earlier season meeting in which the team that won the SB lost the regular season game.
But pats didn’t stop there they won 3 with brady
The lore goes back even further if you include Bill, dude basically had that gameplan for the Bills when he was DC for the Giants, he had to be sick to see it bite his ass not once but twice.

Lions have not won a Playoff game since 1991 season. 30 years, 2022 will make it 31 years if they don't make the playoffs and win a game. Presently the Jets hold the longest streak of not making the Playoffs, at 11 seasons. If they don't make playoffs in 2022 that will make 12 seasons (or is it 10/11? I forget).

2005 Divisional Steelers (11-5) vs Colts (14-2) should have been on this list as well as the 2006 Divisional with the Patriots (12-4) vs Chargers (14-2), both games had missed critical field goals (Mike Vanderjagt and Nate Kaeding respectively).
To this day I can still see Bill Cowher, Jerome Bettis, Peyton Manning, and Tony Dungy all saying "He missed it" in four completely different ways!
@@dawsonindustries You're wrong to hate on Vanderjagt. If Bettis hadn't fumbled on the Colts 1-yard line while P was running out the clock, he wouldn't have even been in that position. Vdj was one hell of a good kicker. He made all of his XPs and was 25/28 in FGs and 7/8 on FGs of 40+ yards in '05. Vdj had a big mouth and Indy needed a scapegoat for the loss; Mike made a good one.
@@indy_go_blue6048
The real truth behind that game was that the run-first Steelers came out of the gate throwing the football, and Ben Roethlisberger was actually and surprisingly outplaying Peyton. Steelers led 21-3. A Troy Polamalu interception should have ended the game at 21-10. But he fumbled the ball and recovered it. The Colts challenged it with no expectation of winning, but the refs made an AWFUL call on the review, (worse than any call the Steelers benefited from in the Super Bowl Vs. Seattle 3 weeks later), and this scenario was the only reason the game was even close. The goalline scenario where Bettis fumbled, Ben tackling Nick Harper by the shoelace, the Vandergat miss, none of it even should have happened, but it did! Oh and Nick Harper, the guy who almost took the Bettis fumble to the house who was tackled by the shoelace, he was stabbed in the leg a week prior. emotional play for everyone involved, absolutely legendary

That was a pretty big upset but idk about number 1 cus it was just a divisional game. That should prolly be somewhere 5-10. Not just the fact cus it was big upset but the Titans handily beat the Ravens. Ravens had no chance from start to finish. I’d rate it as top 5-6 upset of all time personally.
To me its the worst loss in Ravens history.
@@michaelhession2105 I'm not a Ravens fan but they seem to do better when they're underdogs in 2000 they wasn't the favorites the Titans were.
2012 they wasn't a favorite the broncos were 13-3 and the top defense in the AFC and a really good offensive and I believe they were underdogs against the Patriots in the AFC championship game and against the 49ers in super bowl.
2008 the Ravens we're under dogs went on the road and beat two division winners including the 13-3 Titans before they lost to the Steelers and AFC title game.
But when the Ravens are the favorite it doesn't seem to work out well for them. In 2006 the Ravens were 13-3 with the top defense in the league and they lose at home to the colts who had the worst Rush defense in the league.
And 2018 they get dominated at home by the chargers in the playoffs the same charger team that the Ravens dominated in los Angeles I think in like week 11.
And then in 2019 the Ravens were 15-1 and a 9-7 Titans team come in and dominate you.

@Harry Engel Absolutely. I am a big offensive lineman proponent for the Hall each and every year, and I felt there were 3 LT's of absolute stunning quality in that era. It went Jones, Ogden, and Boselli. If there ever was an era where the best 3 LT's should go into the hall, Boselli helps make that argument. His domination against Smith in the playoffs is where you should start with his profile. It says a lot that when the Texans started as a franchise, they attempted to pick him up despite what would be a career ending injury. You just dont get players like that.
@Harry Engel Yes, definitely. Nothing's ever certain in the NFL, but the Broncos would have had a VERY good chance at a three-peat. They picked a bad day to have a bad day. It's greatly to their credit that they came back and reached their potential in the following two years. If Elway hadn't been 157 years old and had stayed on one more year, a four-peat would have been very possible...they went from 14-2 to 6-10 when he retired.

People sometimes wonder why the Jets-Colts game was such a big deal, but these teams were in two entirely different LEAGUES just a few years earlier. It would be like the XFL being allowed to play against the NFL and a few years later they're winning the Super Bowl against impossible odds. The AFL wasn't supposed to be winning anything. They were a whipping boy for the NFL to show its mastery of the game. It was kind of like the NFL said, "Okay, we'll let you in on our little fun. But we hope you know your role." That Jets-Colts game changed pretty much everything. Now it's not the NFL and AFL, it's the NFL with the NFC and AFC as conferences. Teams on equal playing ground, a complete league. That's what the Jets-Colts game did. When one game changes an entire league, that's special.

And in the prior two against the Chiefs it almost makes you reflect on all the games for so many years where Joe Cool calmly took them down the field to win like clockwork. And in these past two it’s like they have gotten to experience the inverse where they have to face the ice cold comeback guy who snatches away the close battles from them even when they’ve played really well the entire game. Just interesting how different time periods can adjust what a franchise and its fan base experience
I definitely agree. This is a very niche stat but after winning there 5th Super Bowl the 49ers had a Super Bowl point differential of +99 and could’ve been the first team to reach the +100 point mark but since they’ve lost there last 3 appearances they could still do it but now the Cowboys are closer to that mark.
16:55 SKEEEEEUUPPPP
Wow 19 points favorite in the Super Bowl , i would take the underdog everytime
What about the 2010 wild card where the Seahawks beat the Saints?
This originally aired in 2008.
@Costa Zambaras still a great upset, stop hatin

Bob "Ralph"Baker was a linebacker for the Jets. He is from my hometown of Lewistown, PA. He and my dad childhood friends, and still are. Ralph came back to Lewistown and was a high school teacher and football coach. He still lives in the area.
Brown beating the eagles in 1950. That's what I love about football. No one believes in them but you can't tamper with the play. On the field they forced everyone to respect them. That is what I love about this game.
I like the 73-0 NFL Champ Game. What people don't realized is, it was really COLD!!! The field was frozen, all ice. One team manage to get proper foot wear for such conditions. The other team was wearing the same old cleats. So ice skating around. So the team with the better footwear, who could get a footing and run, etc. WON!!!
2007 was WILD and Crazy Year in Sports, Movies, and Music.
Superbowl 44 Saints beat Colts. Saints were a huge underdog.
YES.
Ayyyyy ima saints fan thx for saying
duane jessup your an idiot
Saints were not huge underdogs dummy
This was made in 2008
My cousin played for the Browns during the strike....I remember watching him catch a touchdown pass on TV in one of the games!
That's actually pretty cool!
15:02 Jagwads? Funny thing to call a team that went into Buffalo the previous week and beat them in what turned out to be Jim Kelly's final game.
They were a 2nd-year expansion team, 9-7, going up against a 13-3 team. There was no respect at all for Jacksonville for that game. Everyone thought they got lucky against Buffalo and they were going to get destroyed by the Broncos.
Honourable mention Seahawks vs patriots Super Bowl XLIX 2015
Don’t forget in 2014 Super Bowl champions were Seahawks everyone was rooting for Russell Wilson, Marshawn Lynch, Bobby Wagner, Earl Thomas, Richard Sherman, Doug Baldwin, Michael Bennett, Kam Chancellor, K.J. Wright
Jeff Hoffstedler was Nick Foles before Nick Foles was Nick Foles.
Now you can add Ravens and Titans to the list :p
No matter where I am, no matter where I go, I cannot escape the terror of “wide right”
Colts fan. '05. I can commiserate.
except for "wide left".
Seeing this comment when I’m seeing it, just thought I should check on you and see if you’re OK.
As a Patriots hater, seeing the Patriots undefeated season go down in violent flames was the greatest moment of my life from the Entertainment side. I laughed, and laughed, and laughed, and laughed.
Than I feel sorry that you live a pathetic life. 6 rings, buddy, COUNT EM!
And the real reason you're a Hater because they Cheated 🤣🤣👍.
Honorable mention from this past post-season (2021-22): Niners, who had managed to sneak into the playoffs in the last week of the season, defeating the Last Dance Packers in Lambeau Field. An absolutely stunning outcome that nobody expected.
Can someone explain 28:05 to me? Does that mean head to head matches? How can you be 10 games above or below .500 in a season fewer than 20 games long?
If you have 10 more wins than losses, it’s considered being 10 games above .500. 13-3 is 10 games above .500
12-2 team vs 2-12 team for example
The legacy of Super Bowl III lives on to this day
True!!
If you remember back when the jags came to the league they where given high draft picks. That was a really good team. Just young.
28:31 The Giants over the Patriots in Super Bowl 42
That's what i say!!!
The most obvious fixed game in NFL history, along with SB 46
Dude got out of prison ..beat the cowboys. Then went back to prison. I need to buy his jersey
Is that Winnie the Pooh narrating that little bit about Broadway Joe at 33:58?!
Yup the same voice actor.
Joe Gibbs’s best coaching was in 1987.... he won the Super Bowl that year with the best team (not one player crossed the picket line under Gibbs’s request); with a QB he was going to trade at the beginning of the season but said no that he had a feeling he would win it for them and a QB who was only named the starter at the start of the playoffs; and took a bunch of guys off the street and won all of his replacement games including the one against the Cowboys who had all but one of the regulars. Hell of a coach.
Giants beating the Bills is not that big of an upset. Giants were a great team especially on defense. They had just beat the 49ers who were the best team in the league three years running. Beating the 49ers in the nfc championship game was a bigger upset. Giants Bills turned out to be one of the greatest super bowls but I think Bills vs. 49ers would have been an even better game.
I am not a Patriot's fan by any stretch, but; in that Super Bowl against the Giants (when NE was 18-0), you can see Holding (just put RUclips on .5 or half Video Speed) on 2 at least (two) Giants linemen when Manning is running around looking for Tyree. When it's 3rd Down and 5 yards to go (1:16 on the clock), just look at the 2 Patriots squeezed between #'s 60 & 69 (at 30:47). #60 clearly holds and #69 does an excellent job of obstructing the view (after #60 already held Richard Seymour, #93 the Pat's best defensive lineman). Then, if you go further (in Slow Motion) of the first missed Holding calls, you can clearly see the Giant's #66 Holding the Patriot's #98. This was ridiculously fixed for one of the Manning's to win a Super Bowl. Remember, Archie and his son Peyton hadn't won any Super Bowl's yet. The Ref's were watching Manning, not the linemen that were clearly holding a superior Belichick Defense (especially on that 3rd Down). This was a poorly officiated ending, plain and simple.
Dang, the first person I ever hear to get the same migraines as me is a Broncos legend. 18:57 Me during a test when this happened.
Travis i dont get them anymore but i will never forget my first.
Davis playing thru a migraine is one of the gutsiest things I’ve seen. You don’t understand a migraine headache until you have one. They’re completely debilitating. When he said he can’t see he wasn’t joking. The pain is unreal.
Super Bowl 52 should be on here but I think this was done a while ago
Yes it was no one gave the Eagles a chance
Hard to consider it a huge upset when the Eagles had also been a dominant #1 seed as well.
@ReturnoftheBrotha it was a an upset nobody though philly would win that sb
the Giants should have beat the pats in week 17 that same year...….one big play and 2 personal fouls cost them....they were up 4 points late if I remember
ill never forget watching that thinking as a Giant fan...what a fckin game! imagine this is our Super bowl? we all laughed as Giant fans.. but that was the spark
Agree, but they got their revenge where it really counted. The superbowl- twice
@@toma.4808 Yankees and Patriots: The Evil Empires!
Red Sox and Giants: The Evil Empire Killers!
@@artofficialintelligence2875 I remember that game as well and it turned out to be a war!. And I thought to myself if the Patroits met these guys in the superbowl that New England was gonna be in trouble!!!!!.
Giants beating the Pats in 2008 was bigger than the Jets in 69
The former AFL teams only won 7 of the first 31 Super Bowls. (Chiefs, Jets, Dolphins twice and Raiders 3 times). Since then they’ve won 10 of the last 23. (Patriots 6, Broncos 3 and Chiefs). The Bills, Titans, Bengals and Chargers are all still looking for their first Super Bowl win.
As are the Lions, Falcons ('65 expansion team) and Rams of the old NFL.
Big glaring omissions were the 95 Colts beating the Chiefs and the 86 Patriots getting to the Super Bowl.
85 Patriots the game was played on January 26 of 86
Scott Norwood is a human being. Scott Norwood has a family that loves him. Scott Norwood was a good kicker. Scott Norwood was great at his job, and won many football games.
Don't send hate to Scott Norwood.
John Elway had one hell of a career going to 3 Super Bowls losing them and going to back to back Super Bowls and won 2 of them that right there is the perfect Hollywood ending in NFL history
Elway can thank Terrell Davis. To bad they ran him into the ground. He was one of the best of that time frame
If you guys want to do a new Top 10, just do top 10 fullbacks of all time. I mean, c'mon, fullbacks are people too.

@@donalddeluxe6407 Well, I guess. I would say he was a little bit of both.
This list is great but giants beating unbeaten patriots is biggest upset of all time
no sb 3 is bigger
#3 and #2 are similar in that both the Patriots and the Rams and the Giants and Pats played each other during the regular season and both lost close games. Both teams walked away from those games thinking that if they played them again, they could win. Both the Rams in 2002 and the Pats in 2008 would have won those Super Bowls if it wasn't for the first match where the "underdog" gained confidence.
A game I went to the 2011 13-0 Packers losing to the Kansas City Chiefs handing them their only loss of the regular season
Lol that was the one highlight of the Year for the Chiefs and I will never forget it
And the game in Thanksgiving of 1962 when the previous undefeated Packers lost to the Lions. That was as I may recall the only time Vince Lombardi lost a game as heavily favored.
Ooofff that '96 Bronco game still hurts. I can remember standing there at the end with some of my family and friends and being like, you gotta be kidding me!!!!! Ahhhh the memories of winning and losing, that's what builds character and devotion. You can have your heart broken over and over but when you finally win ain't nothing as sweet. That's what makes a true fan is being there the next pre-season going okay let's get it it's a new season. Gotta say the NFL has been a huge part of my families history that I wouldn't trade it for anything. Those are the memories that I still cherish!!!!!!!!
Number 2 eagles with a backup QB beats Brady number 1 giants and that will never ever ever be topped
lol pats was only 5 points favorites in Superbowl 52 against eagles I wouldn't call that a upset .
Jeff hostetler beat hof qb jim kelly in the superbowl. A game the giants were considered underdogs. Cant be topped? Hostetler's only claim to fame was narrowly beating a heavily favored bills team stacked with hof talent: bruce smith, andre reed, james lofton. Bruce smith and jim kelly. The giants are typical sb underdogs who mastered the art of defying the odds in the big game winning 4 of 5 superbowls they played in
To me, the eagles were favored. Remember that same eagles team blew out a powerful defense in the NFC championship game. Patriots barely won against the other top defense in the league
david ellsworth what ? That has nothing to do with it ! You’re quoting the spread. Literally to time defending champions versus team full of back ups
*18:04* dayum!!! I have never felt so bad for someone in my life!!! That hit took the wind out of me!! And I'm watching all the way from RUclips!!
I know this film came out before that, but when the Eagles beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl, I cried tears of joy.
Yah I mean I knew the Eagles were great but I didn't think they'd win but it was insane when they did. That superbowl was perfect
@@cobracmr4 Bruh, after that final play, I didn't even realize it was over. I was like "watch the refs somehow give him something." Then the announcers started calling it and I sat there stunned for a second.
@@LegendaryDorkKnight bruh right?!
@@LegendaryDorkKnight we all did..
Grrrrr!!! That was ridiculous. How the heck did we lose that game? Against a journeyman QB who wasn't that good, and went moving around the NFL after the SB.
The biggest story of Super Bowl 3 was Jets DC Walt Michaels & D-Line Coach Buddy Ryan beating the Colts Offense. Namath was an ace that ppl don’t understand due to stats. He basically had a 4 year career due to injuries & was a passer as good as any who ever played the game.
Anyone know if the nba has something like nfl films?
NBA TV has something called NBA open court. It's a round table discussion with a group of legends.
I remember that Packers and Broncos Bowl game. I placed several bets on the Broncos as soon as they won the AFC. Didn't care if it was San Fran or Green Bay. In hindsight, I could've been broke.
Disappointing that Superbowl 52 isn't on the list but I think this is an older series of clips.. no matter solid choices
video was made in 2008
the Eagles were the #1 seed in their conference 🙄
@@NZT77 that is true but going into both games they were considered weaker then both the Vikings and the Falcons.
@@zachcollier7092 yeah not suprised still a great video though
Superbowl 52 wasn't that big of an upset. The Eagles were top seed in the NFC. They had a great team.
Add 2020 Jets vs Rams. The Jets were 0-13 and eliminated from the playoffs, while the Rams were 8-4 and they were trying to clinch a playoff berth. The Jets beat the Rams 23-20, and the Jets led 20-10 in the half. The Rams were top 10 in the league in offense and defense, and the Jets were ranked 32nd in offense and 30th in defense. Also the Jets lost to the Seahawks 40-3 last week.
