Shady Slim Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 the question is self explanatory what do we think are the best singular plays in nfl history i was thinking about this while washing the dishes to me the saints' onside kick in the superbowl comes to mind immediately just because of how damn ballsy it was but that's just the first hot take and i'm sure if i thought about it longer i'd think of a different answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefs_5627 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Dunno where it fits all-time but one of the craziest runs I've ever seen: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lancerman Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Probably the helmet catch because of what was at stake and how many little components were in it. Then defensively probably the Butler interception for similar reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OBJ catch is up there in terms of most impressive athletic achievement. Probably feels less special because we've all been force fed it 80 times every sunday.

Probably feels less special because we've all been force fed it 80 times every sunday. The year OBJ made that catch was the same year a college receiver literally caught a ball downfield behind his back with his arm bent. OBJ's catch was pretty, but it was hardly the most impressive athletic play ever. It just looked really nice. Like I seriously think 90% of that is Collinsworth saying that is one of the best catches he ever saw. This play literally happened the exact same year.

That catch was also on SNF so everyone saw it. Reminds me of the hit Steve Atwater put on Christian Okoye on MNF. People only remember that because it was in primetime. No one talks about the dozens of times Atwater got ran over by The Nigerian Nightmare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wackywabbit Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I actually think that Favre pass has to be the correct answer. Needing a TD to win from that far away, 12 seconds, no timeouts, great movement avoiding pressure and buying time, taking a hard hit from behind, delivering a PERFECT pass and a fantastic catch and toe tap on the other end. I haven't seen anything else on that level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lancerman Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 If we are going all of football and not just the NFL you probably need to consider the Flutie Hail Mary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
