2:03:02 Music City Miracle
Known as the "Music City Miracle" this instant classic featured the Tennessee Titans in their first playoff game since the franchise moved from Houston. What made this game so spectacular was the ending, with only 16 seconds remaining in the game Buffalo took a 16-15 lead. However, on the ensuing kickoff Frank Wycheck threw a cross-field lateral to Kevin Dyson. The play caught the Bills by surprise and gave Dyson an easy walk in touchdown for the win. The play is still seen as one of the most controversial in NFL history, some claiming the lateral to be an illegal forward pass.

R.I.P Steve McNair

+Chase Oakley that's not a joke he's actually dead
wtf Steve is dead? ????
Yeah dude, he died 7 years ago. Shot by his girlfriend.
Rest in Peace Frank Wycheck for making the music city miracle come true
That's what the ownership gets for benching Flutie.
They would have won with flutie
why they played "Robo-sack" after a throwaway game against indy is beyond me
Benching Flutie and not trying to waste more time. They had a first down at the 23 with no time left. Run the ball, spike it then kick the game winner. This never happens.
poor lil midget :( imagine if they wouldve made the superbowl he'd be the media darling.. he wouldnt have taken that safety or got himself sacked 5x in the 1st half
that was terrible squib kicking they were even lined up 4 it might as well kick it out of bounds...
I remember my dad saying, "they should take a knee and center the ball. If Tennessee wants to use their timeouts, let 'em. But don't leave any time." Turned out he was right.
right. enough time to kneel and spike with 3 seconds or less in my opinion.
Taking a knee loses yards. The kick was barely good to begin with.
No, you want to leave SOME time in case you commit a penalty or something goes wrong, you get another chance to kick.
@@dolphinsneu Fine. Then run a play and spike it with 7 seconds left if you're that worried about a bad snap. But don't kick it with 20 seconds left. Because they left so much time, the Bills could not afford to just squib the ball up the middle. The Titans still had a timeout and only needed a fg to win. I remember thinking it was crazy to kick with 20 seconds left.
Buffalo had no timeouts.
For all of you coming down here to complain it was a Foward lateral, it's not. They have tested it many times even doing a laser point test and confirmed it was clean. Now scroll back up and enjoy the game.
hamza habibi BS, the same testing company that proved there were 20 shooters of JFK, and that found Bigfoot taking a dump.
@@CJinsoo bruh
@@CJinsoo the ball leaves his hand and then goes backward, you can see it if you watch the white line in conjunction with the ball. I don't think there's any question.
Literally not one person on here said it was forward.
@@anthonycaruso3688 yeah idk what to tell you man i wrote this in 8th grade
That Eddie George and Steve McNair combo
***** I could've sworn i type that in
Hi
🔥
How many Super Bowl wins between the two?
who else skipped to the end lmao

thank you
That made it much more easy to see the good plays
legend
Other sport governing bodies remove all the stuff we want to see; you upload it for us and point out all the best moments
thanks now I can do it on phone
Steve McNair was definitely one of best quarterbacks in NFL history! He left us too soon! May he rest in peace!
His girlfriend killed him and then killed herself.
super .. super underated!?
@@itbelikethat6579 it's really cuz of fisher. Hes just not an air it out type of coach and never has been ever. Hes an old school pound the rock all game long and play defense. Had steve been with an offensive minded coach he would have had much much better stats passing wise
1,000% AGREED. Steve McNair should be in the Hall of Fame.
Not even close to being a hall of famer..He's not even in the top 50 of QBs ..look at stats and winning percentage...you are out of your mind ..He had a 50% completion range..maybe an average QB at best..terrible passer..I like steve , I lived in Paris Tennessee, watched him his whole career..But he not even close to HOF QB...went to SB once ..and lost ...case closed...
Titans fans will never forget Steve McNair's "hut HUUUT hut" cadence.
Yes! I miss those days I was crazy enough to tell everyone around me to shut up during games because "I need to be able to talk to Steve!" Great player.
And yes, free Hong Kong.
His voice was a lot higher than I thought it was.
He seriously had one of the best hard counts of all time!
Titans will always be my favourite team, got McNair to thank for that
Same here
I miss the old Titans, McNair/George/Bullock/Wycheck..
It sucks now a days.. their team isn't what it use to be and I don't think it ever will be again.
Jason McClure Mason/Kearse/Matthew's/Dyson 😥
he is dead
love you gann
Javon Kearse is one of true greats
His cousin is a great "niche" player too - there's no one in the NFL today that is better at man to man coverage against Tight Ends than Jayron Kearse #27 of Dallas, formerly of Minnesota. He's a "freak" in his own right - 6ft4 with about a 7ft wingspan but he can really move his feet. Bet he was a lock down defender on the basketball court also.
Great sign "Another Buffalo Choke"
Shawn Lilo I’m a Bills fan but I gotta say, that’s pretty clever
Whatever miami heat bandwagon jumper
In '93 the Bills come back from a 35-3 deficit vs the Oilers, 6 years later that same franchise comes back and does this
Wrong. It happened in the 1992 Playoffs. And besides that, this was sweet revenge, different kind of franchise or not.
January 3rd, 1993
Nope. The calendar said that, but I go by the NFL year. And it was, infact, the 1992 PLAYOFFS.
The calendar year it took place though was in fact 1993.
Did I not just say that, d-bag? Learn to read, moron.
Ha at 2:00:42 the commentator said "There's the miracle." Sorry announcer, but you were a little bit early on that call!
2:03:10 “I’d take my chances on a return”
Final last words.
20 years ago today: One of the best plays in NFL History! The lateral from Frank Wycheck to Kevin Dyson was amazing! The best moment in Titans History! “There are no flags on the field! It’s a miracle, Tennessee has pulled a miracle!”
And you are a Mo---------RON
I remember rooting so much for this Tennessee Titans team during this run, especially (as a Dolphins fan) that they beat the Bills and the Jaguars (who absolutely crushed us). Plus, this team seemed to have a little magic, and came so close, even when they were down 16-0 down to the Rams in the SB.
My wife's friend's wedding started after the game. I offered to help decorate the church while the game was playing. The church had no TV but I found a radio that had the game. It was fascinating to listen to the audio without watching what happened. Great radio broadcasting i
Thanks for posting this.
Hooray NFL. Finally. These games are your best and ultimate advertising/promotion for your league. Strange your so reluctant to use them.
Today is the 20 year anniversary of The music city miracle...never get tired of watching it. Go Blue!
This is sweet, please continue!
When football was football. Thank You so very much for posting this wonderful classic NFL game. I LOVE IT.
I've been binge watching a lot of these classic games lately. They key thing with this one is remember what "lateral" means. The ball doesn't HAVE to go backwards. It just can't go forward. And I think after watching this over and over it's pretty clear...it didn't.
1:27:50 Johnson is a statue behind the line. Flutie's mobility would've made all the difference in this game.
Yep would have been an easy win!
@@bocagoodtimes1460 been saying this for years. Rob was not ready for this pressure and he sucked big time. Wade should have told Ralph Wilson to stick it. I'm the coach I'm starting Doug.
Had it already, but this is soooo pretty! Thanks.
seriously NFL I like you guys posting famous games like this. Keep it up!!
Finally full NFL games on CZcams legally without having to worry about them being taken down
1,000% AGREED.
Yep. Couldn't agree more.
Biggest mistake Buffalo made: Starting Johnson over Doug Flutie... I miss Patrick and Theisman on SNF.. McGuire was a cook.
McGuire didn't like the Titans
This game wouldn't have been close if Flutie starts. The Bills defense dominated the Titans offence. I think they would have won by 14 points or more. Ralph Wilson forced Wade to play Johnson after he played good in a meaningless game the week before. Bad decision, I would have told Ralph I'm the coach with all due respect our best chance to win is with Flutie.
@@usmc6004 That is right. Ralph kind of put Wade in a bad spot. Wade did get a ring finally at least. I think the Bills would of won by two or three scores for sure.
Flutie had his shot vs Dolphins one year before in the 98 playoffs. He was sacked fumbled and lost game! The Bills lost to Titans because of special teams! Rob Johnson put Buffalo into position to win this game. Rob did his job! Flutie failed one year before! Why don't people get it!!!!!
game 6 of the 86 WS and this. always and forever will bring a tear to my eye. been a mets fan and oiler fan all my life.
I remember living in Washington State at the time of this game and me and my family were from Nashville TN born and raised.. we had moved to Seattle WA and were stoked we finally had a team from our city..I was ten years old at the time and I remember having had church obligations to attend so my dad told me he would record the game.. I remember being so nervous but excited to watch the game on rerun. When I came home I was analyzing my parents faces but they played a good poker face and were not about to spoil the conclusion to the game..long story short.. i remember almost crying at the end of it... he told there would always be next year and just when I was about to throw the remote at the TV... the music city miracle happened... me and my little brother were jumping around for joy and I remember being completely in the present moment.. i remember the smile on my parents faces.. especially my dads..such a good time that was!
The Bills have to be the most munsoned team ever as far as heartbreaking playoff losses
R.I.P Steve McNair...oh Bruce Smith was an animal back in the day.
I honestly can't even imagine being in the stadium at the time. Absolute chills just from looking at it 17 years later on a computer
these r the best thank u
The Music City Miracle is the greatest finish in playoff history. Remember those Titans.
Frankly this was karma biting the Bills for benching Doug Flutie for Rob Johnson cause of one game.
w
snapple top facts
this was karma for the comeback when the titans where still the oilers
damn straight! about time I heard someone else say it
Skolney 100%. I forgot Johnson’s history, he wasn’t even a 1st round pick-yet the Bills gave a 1st and a 4th for guy with no track record and a 4th rounder? No wonder the front office wanted to show how smart they were and save their arses. You play to win-not to cover your arse!
Flutie curse was born this day....
You see such a higher level of intensity. I want this kind of football back
The angle at 2:05:21 is the best one. Not sure why they don't show that one more often
@HEMi Detailing(open): Move it back to 2:05:15, for context sake.
Yeah, I thought it was definitve. Look at where Wychek's hand is when he releases it and where the returner is when he catches it, not their bodies. It was a lateral, barely.
@@gordons-alive4940 agreed. This was a touchdown. Coming back to this one, I always thought it was a forward pass, but it was on the line a lateral pass.
From where it left his hand, to where he caught the ball it was basically on a straight line. Didn't look forward.
Starting at 2:05:16, watch the trajectory of the ball (which is the only thing that counts, not where either of the players' body or feet are): as it travels, the video clearly shows it getting closer to the 25-yard-line. Which means it is traveling BACKWARDS. Not much, but doesn't need to be. As long as it's not traveling forward, it's a lateral. They got the call right. Sorry, Wade
Not only did I see this live. Not only was I convinced that it was a forward lateral (and am _still_ convinced that if they'd called it that it wouldn't be overturned, but it's no longer obvious to my biased eyes that it was a bad play). But I remember being a WCW fan... well... kind of... okay, they had the unopposed first hour so I'd tune in to them at 8 before switching to WWF Raw at 9... and where are they? Buffalo. Who's still a real life friend of Frank Wycheck? Jeff MF'ing Jarrett. Who walks out in front of the new-and-deproved-nWo? Double J with his Frank Wycheck jersey. You can't plan heat like that.
I have to watch this at least once a year
I was 19 and worked at a grocery store. I watched this game in the breakroom and went back to work thinking it was over after the Buffalo field goal. Still hurts as a titans fan that i missed their greatest moment ever 🥺
Thinking of the last playoff appearance of Buffalo until now January 2018 against the Jaguars brought me here.
Crazy to think the Bills still havent made a playoff return since. I feel for Buffalo.
Thank you it's tough
+John Thompson well they are coming around
What's even more crazy is multiple bills fans and Wade Phillips refuse to take off the bills rose colored glasses still believing it's a illegal forward pass.
The instant replay shows a irrefutable truth its a freakin lateral.
Mythbusters should prove the obvious truth its a lateral so persons will finally give up the damn lie up that it's a forward pass.
It's beyond sad
I don't, this was revenge for the Titans from when the Bills made that comeback in AFC Championship
*Wild Card
A great game to watch on the first weekend of training camp.
This freaking place was ROCKIN’ GOODNESS GRACIOUS NASHVILLE. Listen with Earbuds or air pods...simply wow!!!
People think it was a forward pass didn't listen to the commentators. They explained it perfectly if just listen what they said and then watch the replays.
Hey MO. Ron the commentators have no clue . It matters where your feet were when you threw the ball not where the ball is
. Since when has it mattered where the ball was in a passing situation . Where are the feet ?
Forward lateral without question . I wanted THE TITANS to win but I am not an idiot
33:27 Eric Dyson foreshadowing the superbowl LMAO
You so right
Wow it almost looks exact
kevin, but yeah-
Happy Anniversary Music City Miracle
This game was an emotional rollercoaster for me.
Steve McNair was taken away from us too early. R.I.P
RIP STEVE MCNAIR💯💯
Thank you NFL.COM
This game took place before I was born, so it's cool to finally see the whole thing.
2:02:13 "Does Wade Phillips look like a genius?" "Yes he does..." Boy that didn't even take two minutes before that didn't age well.
LOL! This was total karma. This was one of the dumbest moves in sports history.
RIP Frank Wycheck And Steve McNair……Also RIP Bruce DeHaven Ralph Wilson And Keion Carpenter……
Yall doin the lords work with these full games
Devion Can I get an Amen! Ohhh lawd have mercy Praise JESUS! Amennnnn!!!!
I'm so happy they put this on CZcams I thought I could never see it cuz I was born in 2003
Y'all the realest for this one
Buffalo Fans....The NFL did a computerized analyst on the lateral pass & it showed the ball went slightly backwards there for the refs got the call right.
Buffalo Bills what's it like to be a buffalo? Does grass taste nice?
Oh, the nfl did it. Case closed. Lol. The mental gymnastics some people allow themselves to do.
The problem with the computer simulation is that it misrepresented where Wycheck was when he threw the ball and how he threw it. It depicted him throwing the ball with his his arm fully extended and perpendicular to his body. It also depicted him as being further up the field than he actually was. The simulation proved nothing because it was incorrect.
There had to be indisputable evidence to overturn it, and there wasn’t any
All I’m gonna say is Underrated AF
R.I.P., Steve. He would have been 50 today. Been gone for 14 years😢😢😢😢
It was a lateral
thats why it stands...
100%. No question. ESPN sports science did a break down on it. It was absolutely a lateral.
Nah Bullshit, they stole this away from us!!!
YoungMoneyThugz It's not even a debate. It's been definitively proven that it was a lateral.
you dont need ESPN sports science to tell you its a lateral.... it was very very clear that the ball is going backwards... ESPN sports science has no credibility.
Ralph Wilson ordered Rob Johnson to start because Doug Flutie was old and Rob Johnson was young, and he had a vision for Rob Johnson to be the next franchise guy (like Jim Kelly). He didn't care if Flutie gave them a better chance of winning; he wanted Johnson to be their guy.
What a crazy game! I didn't become a Titans fan until the next year, but I wish I had been sooner, especially since they haven't been back in a Super Bowl since this!
Man, memories. The 1999 postseason was something special.
RIP Frank Wycheck just got the news today
The Flutie curse has ended!!! And what's really mysterious is Buffalo defeated Miami by a score of 22-16. The same score they lost this game!
?
Whoop there it is!!!!
There are no words...
wait, They didn't go for 2?
there are optical illusion tests and then there's this game.
Never seen that before, amazing ending.
Andre Reed was the man back then he was one of my favorite wide receivers to watch
Why would you kick an extra point after that play? It was 21-16 Titans... You go for 2-Point conversion and make it a 7 point game. If Buffalo scored on their final kickoff return (Although it was highly unlikely, although so was the Titans) all they had to do was make an extra point and they would've won instead of tying it... Bad coaching decision but also a great play call on the Miracle.
it's the 90s. they were a bit behind. you can also ask why would the Bill's kick on 1st and 10 with whole 20 secs left. kneel. spike. fg on last play.
Brian Clark Fair point. Also, you’re right, the Bills should’ve ran a play and then spiked with seconds left. Some things coaches do just flabbergast me. Than again I’m an armchair critic who would decide his time management based off of Madden lol
IRONY : Bills return to the playoffs for the first time since 2000, on the road facing an AFC South team
Darn great video quality for 1999
Etc Hosts Def cause it’s from ABC. Their quality always seems better for some reason
I remember watchin this happen
And now, the closest they get to a miracle is 10 points
LOL 😂
this game is the reason why jeff fisher managed to keep a job for 17 years after
MJP that is the year that crumpler fumblld inside the 10 yard Line... and the Ravens won.. Jeff Fisher is an overrated coach still imo... am I'm a life long Tennessee fan
Not his fault no one on the Rams has any talent. Wait, actually that is his fault he drafted them. Never mind then
This was the NFL at it's glory years
Titanup!
Everyone, this is every NFL game that will be uploaded on CZcams. Thank you and have a nice day
www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000672345/article/nfl-reveals-youtube-upload-game-winners
Thanks!
+MeloGamingYT No problem buddy :)
idiotic bills....could of ran down the clock....kicked the FG
Wade Phillips HC, what do you expect
*could have
I believe it was fourth down
My thoughts exactly watching the game!! It was 1st down and the clock was stopped. They could have simply taken a knee and spike it with a few seconds left. Game over...
I know it's and old comment, but Tennessee had 3 timeouts. (Bills should have forced them though.)
One of the best plays in NFL history.
Great game with a great ending.
Bills would've won with Flutie starting.
Bill's should have won this game.
Definitely a lateral
Whoomp there it is!
I love that the NFL actually has wholr classic game broadcasts on their CZcams channel. I mean it was inevitable because other CZcams pages had started doing it
Bills haven't made it in the playoffs since #MusicCityCurse
The reason buffalo lost is because they gave the Titans to much time!
Yeah 16 seconds was too MUCH
+Ndudi Enwereuzor yeah if it was a 22-15
then the miracle would be a tie with 0:01 for another kick td
+Ndudi Enwereuzor 😂
I mean technically you're correct
Just know that Tennessee would have done the exact same thing if they only left 1 second on the clock. This isn't basketball
I remember this was watching this game before my hot date those were the days
Remember the titans never gets old.
If the bills would've won this game the jaguars would've went to the super bowl
Jeffery Hendrix and then jaguars would of won the super bowl
Derek Lott Oh my god no. The Rams were unreal that year. I could care less about either team, but those Jags were not beating that Rams team.
The grammar of you guys lol
If Del Greco didn’t choke on his first half field goal attempts to help put them down 9-0 at halftime, the Titans would probably not have needed a touchdown at the end of the game, and instead only needing a field goal to win the game.
when wade phillips is your coach, you're gonna have a bad time.
just like cam newton
gucci mane clone true
+gucci mane clone what?
Excuse Keenan leave me alone
Faxx
BEST PLAY OF ALL TIME ! !!!!!!!!!!
