Kind of funny hearing them talk about the 2013 NFC Championship as being the "last time the 49ers were good", and then they just casually make another Superbowl appearance after the 2019 season. And then the 262nd overall pick absolutely balls out and takes them to ANOTHER conference championship in 2022. They're a pretty blessed franchise.
@@brendanmayhew6280 The Minneapolis Miracle happened after this episode aired, genius. It shouldn't be on here because it didn't happen yet! Use your head for once!
The weird thing about the Immaculate Reception is that there actually isn't a mystery. If you watch the complete un-cropped footage, it's pretty clear that Tatum hit the ball away without Fuqua touching it and Harris clearly picked up the ball before it hit the ground. The way the NFL cuts that play, they make it seem more vague than it was, because they want to build mystique around the play. It's a miraculous play, but the refs absolutely called it correctly (eventually).
This list is a disgrace. #1 shouldn't even be in the Top 5, and they left off the greatest playoff finish ever, which is Frank Reich beating the Oilers and leading the largest playoff comeback in NFL history.
The clutch 4th down throw against leagues best defense. Then the long kick return followed by a bomb by trubisky, then Pedersons timeout when Parkey nailed the kick, only for him to double doink it on his second try lol def a great
Both times the Cards and Packers met in the playoffs, the Seahawks and Packers playoff game, and now the Bucs and Packers playoffs. The Packers have had bad luck in the playoffs
Good list. But one finish I thought belonged was the Minneapolis Miracle. You dont have moments like that where the game was damn near over and you have a finish where if you’re a football fan you believe that a hidden power allowed Marcus Williams to launch himself too early and leave Diggs with a walk in TD to seal the game. Also Im a Falcons fan so I think that should be number 1
@@matthewdaley746 Yes it really was a shame how they played in the Championship. But still the moment was so refreshing for the city that they damn near celebrated it. And its still talked about. And it doesn’t help when the Saints lose like that with the Falcons watching. 🤪
I like this list, if for no other reason than I didn't know that it was legal to put The Immaculate Reception anywhere except #1 on every list ever. I love The Immaculate Reception, even though I'm a Raiders fan, I can't help but enjoy the impossibility and broken physics of it. It will NEVER be duplicated. It's just.... I don't know, refreshing?? to see it not immediately put #1.
Why do people forget the real controversy of that play. At that time, it was not a legal catch if two offensive players touched the ball consecutively (No tipping directly to a teammate). Now it was a bang-bang play, but it still looks to me like the ball bounced off Frenchy Fuqua (A Steelers player) directly to Franco Harris without the Raiders player (I believe it was George Atkinson) touching it in between the two. That would make it an incomplete pass.
@@craighenry2351 Actually, the rule (1972 rule book, Rule 7, Section 5, Article 2, Item 2-c) was slightly different than that: _Any forward pass (legal or illegal) becomes incomplete and ball is dead immediately if pass is caught by any A player after it has touched ineligible A player or second eligible A, and before_ any _touching by B._ (emphasis added) So, if the ball hit both Jack Tatum and Frenchy Fuqua, the order it touched them in is irrelevant - Franco's catch is legal (well, assuming the ball didn't touch the ground before he had possession, which is the other controversial part). I've watched every available angle of that play a thousand times, and I'm 98% sure the ball hit Tatum and 95% sure it didn't touch the ground before Franco caught it, but I can't get rid of those few percentage points of doubt.
all of Russell Wilson's picks in the 2014 nfc championship were when he was target Jermaine Kearse, and Kearse is the one who catches the game winner. Irony
To this day, I'll always say that the Packers/Seahawks game and that comeback is the main reason why they changed the onside kick rules, which makes it virtually impossible to recover an onside kick nowadays.
I think the rule it really changed was allowing the defense to score on a 2-point conversion. The only reason Russ threw that ball up for grabs is because there was no downside. The play would have been dead if Green Bay picked it off. Starting the next season the defense could run a fumble, INT, or blocked kick back for 2 points.
@@matthewdaley746 Two spots on this list had teams that didn't make it to the super bowl (#10 and #7), what's to stop them from putting on the game that had 4 lead changes in the final 5 minutes of the game? And ending on a walk-off touchdown in regulation, not overtime
@@theleightowskiteam5003 Probably, that it was more about the defensive player showboating, and, it backfiring, fatally, than it was about the particular offensive player.

This one might have to be combined but the Minneapolis Miracle along with the Rams no pass interference call both against the Saints would be a great addition to the list.

@@matthewdaley746 Good point, you can't exactly have the Dez catch without that 2014 wildcard game . I just remember that game so well because the words I said afterwards were" f you Jerry Jones, how much did that call cost?". I do think caught it but that pure karma coming back to bite em. Too this day I still don't trust the Refs in jerry world, this weekend added to that with the"fumble". The one thing I disagree on your list is the 1998 vikings would have beaten Denver in the SB. That offense was too explosive to not shred the Denver's Def.
@@nexuseagles6279 I respectfully disagree, throughout the season, the Vikings couldn't stop the run, at all, plus, Dennis Green had a terrible problem of coaching not to lose.
The 2013 NFC championship game. The glorious game that broke Kaepernick and ended his career. The NFC championship game the next year was even better in my opinion. But “the catch” was just a normal rudimentary touchdown play that would barely make a highlight reel today.
In typical fashion when it comes to anything related to the Tennessee Titans, they didn't give the Music City Miracle the respect it deserved. For context, it was the 1999 season. It was the first ever season of the Tennessee Titans with that name (the previous two seasons they were the Tennessee Oilers). It was the first NFL postseason game played in the state of Tennessee. A lot of storylines in this game that give the Music City Miracle more significance.
The only thing I hated about that game was that it had to happen to Warren Moon. I loved him since he and Spyder Gaines destroyed Michigan in the Rose Bowl.
A complete lack of defense was the common thread in all of them, the skill of Aaron Rodgers was no match for a defense that would repeatedly let him down.
The first thing I think of when I hear about the Music City Miracle is the late Tim Russert's line, "The Music City Miracle was a crime, perpetrated on the streets of Nashville" SHOULDA STARTED FLUTIE HE'S IN THE CFL HALL OF FAME FOR A REASON
It was the perfect example of why owners and managers should not be involved in the coaching decisions. Take this with a grain of salt, but I heard Wade Phillips was pressured to start Rob Johnson because of the massive contract they had signed him on earlier. Doug Flutie was clearly the better player and leader. His only "flaw" was being short.
1992 AFC Wildcard was the greatest. C'mon man y'all always jip the Bills. Also honorable mention goes to Delhomme to Steve Smith in 2003 over the greatest nerf on turf. Another GREAT playoff shocker....
The 2004 divisional playoffs. Carolina at St. Louis. Double OT game with a walk-off touchdown to Steve Smith. Not even mentioned in the entire video. Sad.
True story my nephew and mother-in-law were at my house watching the game and my die hard Steeler fan mother in law disowned her grandson who was a broncos fan until they got eliminated by the pats
Note: These are not the Top 10 NFL Playoff finishes. Some of them are (The Catch) and some of them do not belong (Tebow pass in wildcard game). For example, where's the John Montana to John Taylor touchdown to cap 49ers last minute touchdown drive against the Bengals in Super Bowl 23 - Tebow's pass is above that?
Listen to the category at the beginning. It is clearly stated that only playoff games are included. The reason? There is another list for top ten Super Bowl finishes.
@@craighenry2351 There is nothing that makes a distinction between playoffs and the Super Bowl in the title "Top 10 Playoff Finishes" nor the description "Today's list brings together the ten best playoff finishes in NFL history. This episode originally aired in 2016." The playoffs traditionally include the Super Bowl in team, coaches, and players statistics for record purposes: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_National_Football_League_head_coaches_by_playoff_record. So if only the wild card, divisional and conference championship rounds were only considered, then the written description for the video should be revised accordingly. But this still would not be a top 10 list as there are many more game-winning plays from conference championships that would dominate the list before something like the Tebow sudden death OT touchdown pass in a wildcard game - Maybe I would think differently if it were a regulation time Hail Mary pass like the Cowboys' Hail Mary against Minnesota in 1975 NFC Championship Game. But there would still be yet more - Bart Starr's QB sneak in the final seconds of the 1967 'Ice Bowl,' the Steelers Immaculate Reception against the Raiders in the 1972 playoffs, the Raiders' Sea of Hands touchdown play in the final minute a 1974 playoff game against the Dolphins and more...I would even go for a San Diego overtime field goal in the 1981/82 AFC playoffs after one the greatest divisional round playoff games in NFL history. Maybe there is just a recency bias on this Top 10 Plays list?
How is the Oakland Raiders beating the three previous super bowl appearing, two time defending champion Miami Dolphins, in the "Sea of Hands" game not #1, much less not even in the top 10?
I know this would piss off saints fans and have Ram fans forced to defend there team but...... The NFC championship game from 2018 ending. Literally I have not forgotten about that aweful miss which cost NO a super bowl appearance. I don't think a single person will forget ever it. I didn't watch SB 53 because the match up seemed fixed and that call
I was so happy the day the Seahawks beat the Packers. I grew up in Wisconsin and I loathe the Packers so when they choked it was like Christmas for me.
In the #1 game on this list the Seahawks first points came on a fake field goal during which the holder (the punter, Jon Ryan) threw a TD pass to rookie offensive lineman Garry Gilliam (who played TE in college). Also, Russell Wilson was 0-4 with three interceptions (one of which bounced off of the receiver's hands) when targeting Jermaine Kearse before OT. On the sideline, he predicted that the game winner would go to Kearse.
The obvious complaint is the Hail Mary not even on the list. 46 years later and the term for that pass, coined that day is still in use. It should be #1 on that list, with arguments from the Catch and the Immauculate Reception. Maybe the fact that it was in a divisional playoff game had something to do with it, but remember something. That catch and win propelled the Cowboys as the first ever Wildcard team to make it to the Super Bowl, one they lost by four and were throwing into the end zone for the win at the end of the game. That play may be the deciding factor as to why Drew Pearson is finally where he deserves to be, in the Hall of Fame. I guess this list is made by another Cowboys hater. I will say good mention to note that the Catch didn’t end that game. It is funny, as a noted Cowboys fan I was watching in my dorm room at Ohio State, with my roommate also being a Cowboys fan, when several people broke into my room dogging us. They immediately went silent when Pearson nearly took it to the house 1 play later. As to the ensuing fumble, the grasp and control rule was in effect then and there was a question as to whether it should have been called. That was the second of Danny Whites 3 straight NFC championship games and was his best shot at a win. He deserved better. As far as the Immaculate Reception, the real controversy was that the rule at the time was that two offensive players could not touch the ball consecutively (-No direct tipping to a teammate). There is still, to this day, a question as to whether Frenchy Fuqua or George Atkinson touched that ball immediately before Franco. I still think it was Fuqua, but I was OK with it at the time as the Steelers were just starting their dynasty and I didn’t despise them, then. Now, the only team I hate at the same level are the Eagles, especially the Buddy Ryan Eagles.

In typical fashion when it comes to anything related to the Tennessee Titans, they didn't give the Music City Miracle the respect it deserved. For context, it was the 1999 season. It was the first ever season of the Tennessee Titans with that name (the previous two seasons they were the Tennessee Oilers). It was the first NFL postseason game played in the state of Tennessee. A lot of storylines in this game that give the Music City Miracle more significance.
17:22 the reporter getting so irritated at sherman lol
He's a fucking big mouth. I don't blame anybody for avoiding that attention magnet. Another one of my top 10 reasons I quit watching pro ball.
No bills vs oilers the greatest comeback ever should’ve been 1
That was a Game that was so, bad, a team wound up moving as a result, there aren't many Games that can claim that unique distinction.
The only thing I hated about that game was that it had to happen to Warren Moon. I loved him since he and Spyder Gaines destroyed Michigan in the Rose Bowl.
I said the same thing and now that I think back....2003 Panthers Deholmme to Steve Smith against the greatest show on nerf was a GREAT one too.
It warms my heart that 3 packers losses are on here.
A complete lack of defense was the common thread in all of them, the skill of Aaron Rodgers was no match for a defense that would repeatedly let him down.
It warms my heart that the Packers got revenge in 2019. #FuckSeattle
@@Steve_Hunts96 It warms my heart that the Seahawks are going to be doomed by their lack of defense once the Playoffs roll around.
35:32 - Does anyone know the name of that song? Or where I could find it???
This list needs an update Rams vs Saints 2019 NFCCG and Saints vs Vikings divisional playoff game should top the list period
As a Seattle fan I actually loved Kaepernick when he was good. Then, when he and the team went to s**t, I just laughed at both.
They could put this year of 2023 season and 2024 playoffs in the mix with an updated version
Tampa going through 3 top ten defenses and 3 road games to get to the super bowl at home, definitely gotta be on an updated list
My Cardinals 2 spots for a horrible team they were exciting to watch for a bit.
The first thing I think of when I hear about the Music City Miracle is the late Tim Russert's line, "The Music City Miracle was a crime, perpetrated on the streets of Nashville"
SHOULDA STARTED FLUTIE
HE'S IN THE CFL HALL OF FAME FOR A REASON
It was the perfect example of why owners and managers should not be involved in the coaching decisions. Take this with a grain of salt, but I heard Wade Phillips was pressured to start Rob Johnson because of the massive contract they had signed him on earlier. Doug Flutie was clearly the better player and leader. His only "flaw" was being short.
Also could have had Dallas at Atlanta playoffs after the 1980 season
Brady/mahomes afc championship game needs to be on this
1992 AFC Wildcard was the greatest. C'mon man y'all always jip the Bills. Also honorable mention goes to Delhomme to Steve Smith in 2003 over the greatest nerf on turf. Another GREAT playoff shocker....
13 seconds would be added if this were updated
I don’t know where though
The 2004 divisional playoffs. Carolina at St. Louis. Double OT game with a walk-off touchdown to Steve Smith. Not even mentioned in the entire video. Sad.
Steeler Colts 2005 division game was the most insane fucking thing I’ve ever seen. My number 1 pick. Greatest game I’ve ever seen.
Tebow mania, and Linsanity what time to be alive. 😂
Kind of incredible how one weekend this past January made this video incredibly outdated
Hmmm. After last weekend, this needs a serious update. Buffalo at KC, Rams at Bucs, Cincinnati at Tennessee and SF at Green Bay.
How is the 2007 NFC Championship Game at Lambeau where the Giants won not on here?
I hit another even likes number.
Great videos but im salty they smash all those cakes and watermelons!!
True story my nephew and mother-in-law were at my house watching the game and my die hard Steeler fan mother in law disowned her grandson who was a broncos fan until they got eliminated by the pats
Guess you can add the 2021-22 Divisional and Conference title games to this list. All 6 games.
needs to be updated to include "13 seconds"
I was at the immaculate reception game and the ball did not touch the ground
Note: These are not the Top 10 NFL Playoff finishes. Some of them are (The Catch) and some of them do not belong (Tebow pass in wildcard game). For example, where's the John Montana to John Taylor touchdown to cap 49ers last minute touchdown drive against the Bengals in Super Bowl 23 - Tebow's pass is above that?
Listen to the category at the beginning. It is clearly stated that only playoff games are included. The reason? There is another list for top ten Super Bowl finishes.
@@craighenry2351 There is nothing that makes a distinction between playoffs and the Super Bowl in the title "Top 10 Playoff Finishes" nor the description "Today's list brings together the ten best playoff finishes in NFL history. This episode originally aired in 2016." The playoffs traditionally include the Super Bowl in team, coaches, and players statistics for record purposes: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_National_Football_League_head_coaches_by_playoff_record.
So if only the wild card, divisional and conference championship rounds were only considered, then the written description for the video should be revised accordingly. But this still would not be a top 10 list as there are many more game-winning plays from conference championships that would dominate the list before something like the Tebow sudden death OT touchdown pass in a wildcard game - Maybe I would think differently if it were a regulation time Hail Mary pass like the Cowboys' Hail Mary against Minnesota in 1975 NFC Championship Game. But there would still be yet more - Bart Starr's QB sneak in the final seconds of the 1967 'Ice Bowl,' the Steelers Immaculate Reception against the Raiders in the 1972 playoffs, the Raiders' Sea of Hands touchdown play in the final minute a 1974 playoff game against the Dolphins and more...I would even go for a San Diego overtime field goal in the 1981/82 AFC playoffs after one the greatest divisional round playoff games in NFL history. Maybe there is just a recency bias on this Top 10 Plays list?
Tim Tebow with his 5 minutes of fame in the 2011 playoffs
POV: You’re here because Tebow is back in the league 😂
16:34
Richard Sherman was so good he failed to repeat a superbowl
The playoffs is certainly more important than marriage
Man the NFC west owns the Packers in the playoffs. Especially Arizona in close games
You play to win the game!! It's simple.
How is the Oakland Raiders beating the three previous super bowl appearing, two time defending champion Miami Dolphins, in the "Sea of Hands" game not #1, much less not even in the top 10?
I know this would piss off saints fans and have Ram fans forced to defend there team but...... The NFC championship game from 2018 ending. Literally I have not forgotten about that aweful miss which cost NO a super bowl appearance. I don't think a single person will forget ever it. I didn't watch SB 53 because the match up seemed fixed and that call
I was so happy the day the Seahawks beat the Packers. I grew up in Wisconsin and I loathe the Packers so when they choked it was like Christmas for me.
In the #1 game on this list the Seahawks first points came on a fake field goal during which the holder (the punter, Jon Ryan) threw a TD pass to rookie offensive lineman Garry Gilliam (who played TE in college). Also, Russell Wilson was 0-4 with three interceptions (one of which bounced off of the receiver's hands) when targeting Jermaine Kearse before OT. On the sideline, he predicted that the game winner would go to Kearse.
When I saw their shameful celebration, I knew they were either winning the SB in a blowout, or, losing in a nail-biter.
11:18 Wow a 2 yard rush. There is the indisputable evidence that the Colts running game was really good that year (which it very obviously wasn't).
That Game was the indisputable evidence that the Patriots being cheap would eventually catch up with them, their receiving corps stunk as a result.
1 is still the greatest playoff game ever
I'm surprised Super Bowl XLIX wasn't on this list
Did you even watch? They said super bowls wouldn’t be included twice
22:55 lol
Playoffs , Playoffs, Don't talk about Playoffs, I just want to win a game!!!!!
I don't care...who you play.
I can’t believe Tebow won against the Steelers
I can, despite winning two SBs, the Ben Roethlisberger Steelers have a terribly nasty habit of playing down to the level of their competition.
True
@@natalieturner532 They tried to beat the Patriots every single Game, they just couldn't.
The obvious complaint is the Hail Mary not even on the list. 46 years later and the term for that pass, coined that day is still in use. It should be #1 on that list, with arguments from the Catch and the Immauculate Reception. Maybe the fact that it was in a divisional playoff game had something to do with it, but remember something. That catch and win propelled the Cowboys as the first ever Wildcard team to make it to the Super Bowl, one they lost by four and were throwing into the end zone for the win at the end of the game. That play may be the deciding factor as to why Drew Pearson is finally where he deserves to be, in the Hall of Fame. I guess this list is made by another Cowboys hater.
I will say good mention to note that the Catch didn’t end that game. It is funny, as a noted Cowboys fan I was watching in my dorm room at Ohio State, with my roommate also being a Cowboys fan, when several people broke into my room dogging us. They immediately went silent when Pearson nearly took it to the house 1 play later. As to the ensuing fumble, the grasp and control rule was in effect then and there was a question as to whether it should have been called. That was the second of Danny Whites 3 straight NFC championship games and was his best shot at a win. He deserved better.
As far as the Immaculate Reception, the real controversy was that the rule at the time was that two offensive players could not touch the ball consecutively (-No direct tipping to a teammate). There is still, to this day, a question as to whether Frenchy Fuqua or George Atkinson touched that ball immediately before Franco. I still think it was Fuqua, but I was OK with it at the time as the Steelers were just starting their dynasty and I didn’t despise them, then. Now, the only team I hate at the same level are the Eagles, especially the Buddy Ryan Eagles.
romo and jason garrett at the end, oh god don't remind me
How is the 81 playoff game between the dolphins and chargers not on here. Its only considered one of the greatest games ever played.
They always find a way to talk about TIM TEBOW
