The multiple holdings play at 7:08 is like a dream sequence in a movie. Such a surreal play.

Who’s here after the lions won their first ever Super Bowl in the year 2076

The ref @11:30 is great. The crowd started booing, so he actually explained why it was a penalty for kick out of bounds. Not many, if any, do that these days.

I love how if any one of these plays failed, these plays would be called the dumbest plays in nfl history lol

[liamgriffin]

McAfee's onside kick recovery is probably one of my favourite plays of all time. The whole play was his idea, not only making the call to do it but also the idea of him returning his own kick

[geoff]

That Ravens holding play had me rolling 😂😂 I can't imagine how confused those Cinci defenders were

[IAmAHuman]

“Harris says I’m gonna play this cuz I can”

Loved hearing a professional announcer yell “OHH that was SICK”

[MJKing]

Every time I see the broncos, as a panther fan, I can’t shake super bowl 50 out of my head...

That Rams punt return is the greatest execution of a trick play I've ever seen. It's still hard to figure out how it was drawn up.

I will say… sport and team wise… Gurley was being selfless… fantasy football wise (I had him on my team)… WHAT THE HELL MAN!?!?

[evilmountain]

0:50 I feel like I rarely see people mention this, but the old scoreboard for FOX NFL games brings back memories

[justbecause]

If I had a cent for every Packers kick off taken out of bounds, I'd have more cents than Bill O'Brien

[niccolonico]

That punt return at the end is so underrated. You can tell he's the only player on the field who realizes the situation. Even before the weird bounce he's jogging towards the ball. Then when he realizes the ball didn't go out, he subtly changes direction and keeps jogging. It's not until he sees that no Saints players are looking at him that he really puts his foot on the gas. And then he's gone.

Most of these plays are either intelligent, athletic or _sneaky_. This play has all 3. Not to mention an NFL record.

Who else here after Gurley scored the "accidental" touchdown

[chghfd]

00:58 Happiness and frustration collide when your both a fan of the team and needed 6 points to win your fantasy match that week.

[Football_Films]

4:24 If that is Deion Sanders commentating I think it is, the Falcons used to do a "get the ball to deion" whenever there was an interception. The falcons would always lateral the ball to sanders on an interception

[SnakeySniper]

7:25 “there will be holding *probably* called”
Every Bengals player literally getting hugged there lmao

[prenntg]

Can we talk about how McAfee’s kick was almost exactly 10 yards? He didn’t kick it any further than he had to

[SelfReminder]

I still think 7:15 is one of the coolest plays I’ve ever seen, when it happened I remember watching it over and over trying to watch everyone individually 😂
