OT: My Top 10 Improbable Endings To NFL Games

[NJCardFan]

Based on last night's crazy ending to the Vikings/Saints game, here are my top 10 improbable endings to games all of which I saw as it happened. They are in no order, just my top 5:

Stafon Diggs scores a 61 yard TD to beat the Saints as time runs out:

There you have it. These are the craziest ones I can think of.

Good one's Ronin but I did list the Desean Jackson TD against the Giants. How about this?

Cameron Wake walk off safety:

Keep them coming.

A lot of good ones here.

One of my favs Tebow TD to DT in OT

Tim Tebow's OT Strike to Demaryius Thomas in the playoffs:

 

[Mitch]

For me, Larry Fitzgerald's OT answer to Aaron Rodgers' Hail Mary was top 3.

 

[Daniel Edwards]

The Holy Roller resulted in a rules change the next year. Loved the SD Chickens' reaction in the stands.

Steve Smith's walk off TD to beat the Rams in double OT:

xc_hide_links_from_guests_guests_error_hide_media

 

[NJCardFan]

For me, Larry Fitzgerald's OT answer to Aaron Rodgers' Hail Mary was top 3.

Here you go but the reason why this doesn't make my list is because the TD was a foregone conclusion at that point. Had Fitz scored on the 78 yard play that would have been in my top 5 but it doesn't make it any less great:

I didn't forget this because in my original post I was posting games I actually watched so I didn't list this but this is an all time classic:

[Buckybird]

Ummmm the Hail Mary?

I still say Drew Pearson pushed Nate Wright down to make the catch. A few years back I met #88 at a company function & ask if & of course he denied it, followed by a huge sarcastic smile lol

How that guy isn’t in the HOF & Lynn Swann is I have no idea

The Fail Mary:

How about the Beisel/Morey punt block to beat the Cows?

PP21 99 yard punt return for a TD to beat the Rams in OT(where has this guy gone?):

This qualifies as an improbable win. Saints down by 7 with no time left. Deep pass and 3 laterals later they score a TD only to have John Carney miss the extra point:

Poor Browns:

I’m old enough to have watched this one. Recall it as being pretty dull (7-6 Raiders) prior to Franco’s Immaculate Reception.

Glad to see this one in the list. What a nutty ending.

What team is that? They look like the Cards, but they made a play on STs so I don’t recognize them....
