9:43 Stafford showed ALOT of heart throwing that pass to win it, I remember seeing that hit in slow mo with sound...and he took a SERIOUS hit.
His left shoulder was separated, for anyone that didn't know.
So glad he's on a good team
In the words of Chris Rose, "in typical Browns fashion..."
@@EssexAggiegrad2011 finally
The best game nobody watched
"In typical Browns fashion."
and typical "Cowboy" fashion...
Dalton Hill .Detriot Lions,are you listening?
Yuppp
This year will be better though. If the 0-16 Browns can tie the 13-3 Steelers, we have a shot to win at least 6 or 7
@@TheVideoGametuts I'm not a browns fan, but the browns have a pretty good team this year. I'd say that they'll go 7-9 or even 8-8.
Here's an oddity. A number of years ago (I'm pretty sure it was Chargers and Raiders) the game was tied with little time left. A field goal was attempted by the Chargers but was missed. However, there was a false start by the offense. As a false start is pre-snap, the defense cannot decline the penalty. The penalty actually gave the Chargers another shot at the field goal from 5 yards further out and this time the field goal was good. How often does a penalty benefit the team that committed the penalty?!
That could be a future video idea...
true rarely happens but it does. But that usually is based on luck, not the penalty. If they had made the initial field goal the penalty wouldn't have benefited them as it wouldn't have counted. So just luck.
I'm pretty sure the Lions won a game this way (against Atlanta maybe) in an overseas game.
There are quite a few nuances with penalties like this that can end up benefitting the wrong team. A few weeks ago Tampa Bay was driving at the end of the first half, threw a ball that was picked, but the interception didn't count because the defender interfered. However the return on the interception (even though it didn't count) ate time off the clock. Tampa Bay who had saved a timeout only had time left to attempt one hook and ladder play, rather than potentially two plays that could have setup a field goal.
Special teams has a number of penalties that can potentially force a repunt/rekick with worse results despite the defense committing the foul. Some poor rookie punter got pasted twice in a row in Dallas earlier this year and was forced to punt a third time with a net loss of yards due to the way refs currently officiate running into vs roughing the punter.

Matt Stafford is a beast for coming back into that game.
Stafford's a tough S.O.B., he's taken more hits than most QB's.
Imagine wanting $100 million so bad you’d play for the worst NFL team and get your body and mind absolutely destroyed for the rest of your life lol
@@carlmustard4841 what? Thats the going rate for any franchise quarterback. If Stafford went to free agency (assuming he wasnt tagged) he would have arguably made more $ than staying with Detroit.
dgreek7 You know what they say about assuming.
As a Bears fan I’ve always admired Stanford. I always felt like if he had a tiny bit of a better team that he’d be a champion. He’s a tough sob and has had next to nothing to work with at times. Sure he had Johnson but on the other side their defense was terrible at that time along with their o line.
The most impressive thing for the Lion's play at 9:47 is that stafford threw that pass with his non-throwing arm dislocated. If you want additional footage from that play you can hear Stafford yelling "it's out! It's out! My shoulder's out" As he runs to the sideline after throwing the game winning touchdown. Amazing.
@Luke Skyballer and he steals from the poor also lmao
@@mrraven7445 the poor don’t need money they never had it
Nah, he threw the winning pass with the same arm that he threw the previous pass to the endzone, after which he popped his left shoulder after being hit. Still took massive balls to play with a popped shoulder, no idea how he did it, and to throw a winning TD. Amazing.
@Luke Skyballer Ooops, I did, didn't I. Maybe it's time for me to actually start wearing my reading glasses.
Ignore me. I clearly can't read properly
I love watching these compilations cause in the ticker you can see Cleveland actually doing decent from time to time
Hey welcome to 2020!
FALSE HOPE

Browns looking like a real team this year
Amen Brother
1:46 "In typical Browns fashion... OFF SIDES!"
So nobody remembers when Cleveland was playing (I think it was the chiefs) and Dwayne Ruud took his helmet off to celebrate too early and got hit with a penalty that put the (chiefs) in field goal range? That should be on this list!
True. It was the most Browns way of losing a game. I think Morten Andersen kicked the winner for them
@TheWhiteWhale I'm not a fan of the Chiefs, but that seemed to be a trend during the seasons of Dick Vermeil as a coach for y'all. The playoff game vs the Colts in the 2003 season comes to mind. The first six campaings for the Colts ended with points on the board (5 TD's, 1 field goal)
Absolutely. It's not a list unless that one is on there. That truly was a game-losing penalty.
The color commentator knew it right away without benefit of a replay,
Yep, i remember, assumed that'd be #1 on this list. Still think of it every time i see players taking off their helmets
Browns always find a way to lose...
Chesscom Support that’s so true
Chesscom Support lol
🤣
They are 0-15 so
Chesscom Support yepp
6:40 the moment that broke Antonio Brown's brain.
Daniel White The moment where I cried because I knew the drought would go on
burfict needs to be banned from the league. that hit coulda broke a dude's neck. he even tries to defend saying it was shoulder. guess what, HE DIDN'T HAVE THE BALL. YOU CAN'T HIT SOMEONE THAT DOESN'T HAVE THE BALL.
HamBurger it’ll be over soon my Bengal brother. The chosen one has arrived
I told a Steeler-fan buddy of mine _before the game_ that despite starting back-up QB McCarron, Cincinnati's biggest problem was Burfict & Pacman. Sure enough, those 2 idiots stepped up and delivered for Pittsburgh. I just turned the TV off and took a walk on the beach.
Ben Warner I hope 🤞
In 1962's second week, Pittsburgh beat Dallas 30-28 on a safety which no Steelers' player could be credited with. The Steelers were given a team safety when the Cowboys were called for holding in the end zone.
I read about that! What was even worse was that Dallas, trailing 21-14 at the time, had apparently thrown a miracle 99-yard TD pass to tie it, before they were given the safety to make it 23-14 at the time.
Antonio Brown has never been the same since that hit
A classic 'no evidence for this' comment.
@@powerboon2khe legit has brain damage
Almost every lions game should be in here

Defense wins Championships philosophy went out the window that day.
stinkbandit if they aren't good defenses then that doesn't matter
Except that was a regular season game....
Funnily enough, the '07/'09/'11 Saints and Giants were three of the four worst defenses to win a SB, thus being exceptions to the rule.
you don't think the defense in 2007 or 2011 assisted in either win? interesting that you get your football knowledge from a sack of potatoes.
I might be wrong but I thought the play was instantly dead if there's a fumble picked up by a teamate in the final 2 minutes so why is that a penalty?
As a chiefs fan, Dee Ford jumping offsides costing us the game to the patriots to play the rams in the SB haunts me to this day
The Burfict hit haunts any bengals fan glad we was able to win our playoff game last season.
Could've been offensive false start.
So penalties decided BOTH sides. Fitting for the worst Super Bowl ever
-A Saints fan
How do feel now about Toney…..lol
6:41 the hit that officially broke AB's mind.. sad
AB was still a complete ass before that hit if we're being honest
He should have won an Emmy for that performance
Now he's a Super Bowl champion. LOL!
Welcome to football, Antonio Brown. You should have known that football is a violent sport before signing the contract.
It was so good seeing him get hit that hard. It looked like an unavoidable and clean hit. Pissed Harris was flagged
3:10 thank you for finding older clips (before hd) with good quality it’s nice to actually see the play
I'm surprised the Browns were only on here twice.
They should have been on here for Dwayne Rudd taking off his helmet with :00 to play and the resulting Unsportsmanlike Conduct penalty giving the Chiefs a field goal in Week 1 of 2002.
gor9027 thats because the games are never close enough to be decided by a penalty lol.
Killerican they have so many close games they always play up to their opponent
Most of the times they loose without the need of a flag
And the Chargers were the one to WIN the game. Chargers have the same luck as the Browns
One of the worst ever was in the CFL at the grey cup in 2009. Saskatchewan Roughriders were up at the end of the game, Montreal missed a field goal, but Saskatchewan had too many men on the field, Montreal kicked again, and won 28-27.
I love how you included the famous "Matthew Stafford vs Brady Quinn" QB battle.
I remember watching the Steelers/Bengals. Bengals had that game in the bag and destroyed it all in 10 minutes with back-to-back flags.
Burfict
And then some dumbass pushed the Steelers coach.
1:04 dot worry. you got the ring.
I love the look on Pete Carolls face at the end of the Super Bowl loss to Patriots. Its the look of a man about to win but got too cute and full of himself.
He wasn't getting cute. It was 2nd and goal from the 1 but he only had 1 TO left with 28 seconds and NE was in goal line defense. If they stop Lynch he uses his last TO and then it's obvious pass plays on the final two downs/ If he throws incomplete on 2nd down he still has a TO left to run on 3rd without it being so obvious. I don't like the pass play call but throwing the ball was not that bad of a decision, he shouldn't have thrown it over the middle. He should have faked it to Lynch and have Wilson roll out and either run it in himself or toss it to a TE or throw it away.
@@80steen44 - Running game was no good? Two running plays from the 1 would be too risky?
@@mrsatire9475 When you put the ball in the air only 3 things can happen and two of them aren't good. Like I said, if they wanted to throw on 2nd down, I get it. But lining up in shotgun to tell them you're going to is stupid. At least let them think Lynch is involved up close. You fake it to him and the entire NE D will crash down, then Wilson is free to run it in or toss it to a TE
@@80steen44 - You must be responding to someone else.
I can't stop binging on your content! One big trip down football memory lane.
0:52 You can hear Brian Billick clapping his hands aggressively like he's coaching
6:40 wasn't just the hit on AB. It was also unsportsmanlike conduct on one of the other Bengals (Pac Man Jones? I'm not sure) that added another 15 yards.
Both PacMan and Burfict were p.o.s anyways. Couldn't happen to two better a-holea
Yeah, there was a secondary penalty that happened.
Either that or the Bengals shoot themselves in the foot at the end of their games against the Steelers so much they're blurring together.
Not going to lie, I've so conditioned to seeing the Buffalo Bills do something stupid, I really expected this first clip to be something they did. Hurray. We aren't always the dumb ones lol
What a great video, I enjoyed watching this. Thank you
3:15 He is spared from being in those kicker choking jokes with the likes of Scott Norwood, Gary Anderson, Blair Walsh, and Lin Elliott
Wide right.
Don't forget Billy Cundiff.

That news ticker at 8:05 though
You don’t have to believe it, but in reality, it was true. The Browns were 6-3 at that point before dropping 6 of their next 7 games. It happened to the Lions too in 2007.
@@deeyin616 They narrowly missed the playoffs that year... it was the best Browns season I had ever witnessed, sad.
BRUH
3:00
Pete Carrol wasn’t aggressively chewing his gum… that’s a surprise
That is the most irritating thing on Earth, I swear. I feel sorry for anyone in his immediate vicinity. I would want to shake him until the gum popped out of his mouth. I have to close my eyes every time he comes on the screen, because I can't stand seeing him chew his gum (literally). I have misophonia, and I can just imagine what it sounds like being next to him, and it makes me anxious. Plus, I can't stand him to begin with, so there's that.
I LOOOOVVVED the Offensive Pass I call against Hothead Steve Smith!!! Truly a GREAT receiver, but at times very undisciplined. That one at the 5:00 mark of video COST HIM AND RAVENS!!! LOL
5:20 should have stepped out of bounds....
Lol, I think that is literally the dumbest thing I've seen a football player do on the field:)
Miles Shaw I laughed my ass off
@@Audiomancer We have seen that time and time again in football.
@Bug Latname haha this time is was the wildcard!!!!!!!!!
@Bug Latname me too man
I’m a huge Bengals fan. I hate when they lose, even though I should be used to that by now. Although that Steelers playoff game was the greatest I have ever seen. It was an emotional elevator that stretched from heaven to hell. The rivalry between these teams is vicious and it was shown in spades from this matchup. Just an incredible experience that brought out the passion of the players and the fans to the forefront of the NFL.
Hey, 4 years later football fan, you guys are definitely on the uplook! great future in store for that team
I'm marrying a Bengals fan from Pittsburgh, of all places. She's "convinced" me to root for them.
@Luke Skyballer and then the AFC championship happened for the Bengals.
Keep the content coming great videos
5:38...the signal for illegal foreard pass looks like wafting a fart.
Huge fan bro ! Keep up the good work
At 8:10 I can't believe it it said the Cleveland browns we're in sole possession of being in 1st place
😂😂😂
Lol
Let it sink in that they still missed the playoffs.
Yes, that didn't really happen. There's something wrong with your computer!
😂😂
2:10 wasn't a game losing penalty. That hold absolutely prevented Romo from getting sacked in the first place
@GordonGaming No, it didn't. That hold literally saved Romo from being sacked with zero on the clock (and no timeouts even if there was). If they didn't hold, they definitely lost. By holding they maybe get away with it, maybe they don't. Without the hold, Romo goes down and the pass never gets thrown in the first place. They didn't lose because of the hold, they had a chance to win because of it.
It still hurts to watch that AB hit, especially with the knowledge of what it did to him.
What did it do? A lot of player took worse headshots than that, and aren't like that. AB is a bad sport, and a total diva. That's all. He threw his career away on his own.
The lions and browns game in here was insane, he hurt his arm and still won👏🏼
5:18 I loves the way he tried to kick that tho
Great video!
this guy makes great videos
2:40. BONEHEAD Bennett strikes again!
Happy thanks giving every one hope you have a great day 😀
5:21
So THIS is what a flashback feels like. I remember watching this as a Hawks fan being so confused as to what the heck they were doing! Oh, good times.
2:00 i like how that one fan just ran away
Anybody familiar with the Dwayne Rudd helmet toss? Kansas City vs. Cleveland.
Yep - I remember that game well. Sad part, am BOTH a Browns fan & a Chiefs fan!!!!
When I use to play a little football, I loved going off sides 😂😂😂
There's something about Cowher and his jaw being angry/upset that brings great joy to my life and makes me smile.
I read that ‘’Losing Penal Ties’’😑. It looked to me initially like there was a space.
Kerning fail, AKA 'keming'.
The Browns pass interference in the endzone call was a typical screw the Browns call. Everyone is fighting for the ball and this is never called on a Hail Mary unless very obvious. Nothing obvious here except it is obvious the refs wanted the Browns to lose.
Now you gotta include the Lions game today
kenneth1803 yea lol
And the redskins vs saints
They only got the block because of offsides.
Yea and the penalty from being offsides allowed the Vikings to run the clock down to zero. It made them lose the game.
Swagi has more swag than you they would have lost either way lol
None of these will ever beat the tale of ole’ Dwayne Rudd 😂😂
You can add the unnecessary roughness penalty by the Bengals from the AFC title game to this.
came here just to say this lol
need part 2 after that cardinals-rams game
What about when Detroit got a "facemask" setting up the famous hail Mary for Aaron Rodgers
yeah where is that one
Exactly one of the best but its not on here
Who wants to be reminded that the front shoulder collar is part of the face mask?
@@petepoindexter4645 because it was a horrible call
Because it wasn't a legit penalty and the refs stole the game from the Lions like they always do.
Why is he yelling at the ref? If you are gonna yell, yell at the player that did the penalty
The lucky thing for the Bengals defense back them is that AJ McCarron seems to be a cool headed man. Me on his shoes, I'd kick their you know what for costing the game
1:16 he yells they got him then the announcer says it lol
When I used to play football back in the day my coach always told me to just watch the ball
3:50 that guy looks like my principal
The Bengals vs. Steelers was the best, because not only was it a playoff game that Marvin Lewis just can't win, but it was also a twofer with two consecutive penalties on one play.
juggalo1 bruh he hit AB in the head..... That's the rule, no head hunting like you bumgals do to Steelers all of the time
That game was a rollercoaster
reminds of that one segment "C'mon Man!"
4:33 Greg Gumball: Penalty marker is down!
Why is 5:59 in this video? The penalty didn't make the Saints lose the game?
Edit: oh the Giants guy also did a facemask grab, they were both grabbing facemasks :/
Do a when they got the safety video
He already has one look it up
Gemini Man maybe another one then 👍🏻
Mr Fragels ya
Gemini Man subscribe please
Mr Fragels kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
The Jags- ravens game from a few years ago had a game losing penalty if you make a part 2
I always laugh at the saints Seahawk clip, pretty much just bc I’m a hawks fan, plus the way the saints player threw that is just hilarious looking😂
You can add Buffalo having 12 men on the field to this list.
Yep sadly:/
haha
You forgot the one from the Browns-Chiefs game where the Cleveland player got a last-second penalty for throwing his helmet because he thought the play was over, and the Chiefs won the game with a FG on the next play...
When the Cleveland Browns are involved, YOU JUST KNOW they're gonna screw it up!
People forget the Browns used to be a dynasty. How far we have come...
Joseph Fernando If it makes you feel better us Browns fans will NEVER FORGET. Boneheaded bastard made Leon Lett look like a Harvard valedictorian. Opening day too I believe. Not only did he remove, ie spike his helmet for the flag... But he didn't get the tackle he was celebrating and the Chiefs were running down the field while his back was turned.
Dwayne Rudd is his name I think.
@@JSSTyger One of the all-time great dynasties in sports.
Along the lines of the Giants example in the video - Cowboys @ Redskins in 2006, Redskins blocked a game-winning FG attempt, and during the return the Cowboys committed a facemask penalty. Added to the finish of the return, the penalty moved the Redskins into FG territory and allowed them to make the game-winning kick instead.
4:19 that ref looks like he’s boutta cry lol
(2:42), Super Bowl 49 Doesn't Surprise Me And Just Makes Me
Laugh,
agreed haha
Yes, that false start made me laugh too ... WWE kind of laugh
In the bucs-saints clip at 10:15 it looked like the defender pushed him out of bounds. I thought illegal touching was only called if the receiver went out of bounds on their own, maybe I’m wrong I’m not a football rule junky
Nope-- illegal touching means that if you're the receiver and you go out of bounds, whether on your own or as a result of a force-out (why they let defenders force receivers OB and don't call it as interference, I have never understood), then it's illegal touching if you come back and catch it. By that rule, then, if a defender forces a receiver OB, then the pass would have to be an incompletion or a free interception, because the receiver cannot touch it after being OB.
It is legal for a defender to shove a receiver out of bounds because the QB still has the ball in his hands and was out of the pocket (the tackle box). If the QB was still in the pocket (between the tackles) then Illegal Contact would be called. But since the QB was outside the pocket, then Illegal Contact would be negated.
Why would people dislike these videos. Their the best!
This deserves an update with what happened between Cincinnati vs Tennessee yesterday
2:51 Ne getting a lucky ring haha
MattnCam0408 “lucky” dude they had already gotten the W even if they got the safety that would only be two points.
Add today’s Vikings lions game lol
john ban
He wouldn't have blocked it unless he was offsides
Exactly ^
N Jackson yea I know \__(•.•)__/
Shit up
john ban i
My first question I thought of when I saw the screengrab was what is a penal tie? Something like a penal ring?
stafford holy shit a beast
Idk what Graham was complaining about, that’s plain as day. He may have “sold” it, but that doesn’t mean that he didn’t push off.
No u are totally right, it was clearly the right call, but I still hate people who flop like that, its just annoying lol. My view also might be biased by the fact that I usually watch basketball not football, and in basketball flopping is a very different story. But if that is what they are going to do to make sure the refs know, then ok. I just hate people who do that.
I remember watching a lot of these haha
Some of these plays aren't completely related to the loss such as the one at 2:10, if he didn't hold him he probably would of got back and sacked the QB and prevented the throw in the first place. Also at 4:21 if he didn't pass interfere the DB he probably wouldn't of even of caught that game winning TD, same with the one at 8:00. They def could of gone a different way but nothing as big as the others
Bring on the dramaaaaa! lol
Did no one seem to notice at 6:14 that both the ball-carrier and the punter had a hold of each other's facemasks? Woulda led to offsetting penalties and not put the Saints in FG range...
Looks like another one to add to the list (Christmas weekend 2020)
8:16 total flop lmao
jazon345 that’s the point dumbass
Relax lmao. Just laughing at how silly it was.
Don't you love the commentators praising him for flopping?
That was a Lebron James flop
Andrew Johnson nah dude Shaq 😂
8:36 - 10:00 isn’t it a penalty to go back on the field the next play after the trainers come out on the field to get you? Maybe I misheard that rule or it’s not a rule, but pls help me understand
It's not in this video, but before the next play started (Culpepper was the QB on the field for the Lions) the Browns called a timeout, and Stafford was then allowed to come back into the game.
Mike Hazen ok thanks for clarifying.
It's not a penalty to stay on the field after the refs call time out for an injury but you need to go off the field for one play or your team will be charged with a timeout but because the Lions were charged a time out Stafford can stay on the field for the next play.
The Lions were charged a "4th timeout" because they didn't have any timeouts left. This meant that Stafford still would've had to sit out a play. But before they ran the next play, Cleveland ended up calling a timeout, and Stafford was then able to return. Culpepper was actually out on the field at QB before Cleveland called the timeout.
That play around 3:56 could also be added to a “biggest flops” video
Referees making good calls
That Steve Smith push-off is still less than every single play for DeAndre Hopkins
I was looking for a comment that mentioned that
The defender sold it so hard
Now do part 2 when the Lions lost due to that offsides penalty
TrickshotUniverse
They wouldn't have blocked it unless he was offsides.
This may be the most ads I ever seen in a video ! But, if that's what it takes to get this great content, bring it on.
That Stafford play will go down as one of the greatest plays in NFL history. The fucking GUTS it took to do that.
3:58 that looked so fake lol
It was he missed and took a dive. Number 20 was already diving. He couldn't stop his momentum and maybe grazed the kicker. But no way should that of been called. Not in a game. Not in a time like that
@@steelenigma17 It's a part of the game and that's something you need to deal with. Going down when just being grazed is a real weapon in the Kickers limited arsenal. Unlike every other positions, kickers are not meant to be hit so even in grazing hits they try to sell something.
Thought I was watching soccer smh
terrible calll
@@sirbreadstick there’s actually a rule against kickers trying to force penalties but it’s rarely called especially now(possibly removed tbh I don’t follow the rule book that closely) basically a no flop rule but again rarely ever called
3:54 Lebron James style flop lol
Michael Crennan dude, he's the kicker, and he got hit on his kicking leg. What do you expect him to do?
RenegadeDavid Not do a Shakespeare worthy twirl-and-fall?
@@dellerly9324 - What? He barely got touched, spun around and fell on purpose. I understand drawing penalties, but that was absolutely pathetic.
THIS IS THE BEST F WORD CHANELL
I remember that Cowboys and Redskins game like it was yesterday. That one hurt.
The Packers Hail Mary against the lions should have been in here
Ben Dreher that wasn't pass interference and they confirmed that shit so nah
Um not really dude
Or sorry not PI I meant a face mask call you're technically allowed to grasp the face mask just as long as you let go right away, which is what happened at best
I totally agree
Austin Stein Hence why Rodgers' helmet was half across his face? Idk man. Sure, it was a close one, but you can't review penalties anyways. A call is a call. To me, I honestly believe that it was a face mask, but it's too close to call. I guess that since his helmet was legit halfway through his face, they got a face mask call,
Sure, it gave the Packers a chance, but shame on the Lions for playing a lateral defense and not a Hail Mary defense, LMAO.
Someone want to explain how any body could jump off sides at 2:42 it's literally a qb kneel on the 1 yard line
The qb couldn't simple kneel, because the qb would have taken possession from the center on or behind the goal line. He had to move the ball forward so that it was completely out of the end zone. If he had knelt and any part of the ball where he knelt was in contact with the imaginary vertical plane of the goal line, then it would have been a safety. Knowing that the QB had to try to advance the ball, the defense tried to anticipate the snap, to perhaps get the safety or to force a fumble on the exchange from center. It was their only chance to win.
I mean, its Michael Bennett what do you expect?
@@owenwhitehouse4050 i feel like Bennett intentionally did this... sort of as a f* you to the coaches for the pass... Didn't he already have the ring from the year before? *shrug*
