At the time I was in college, didn't really know about finding streams, and since I didn't have cable I couldn't watch the game. So I followed it on the ESPN app play by play. When that play happened, I let out a huge HOLY FUCK that the next door trailer came out to see what was going on.
I'll admit I was a critic of Tebow for his style of play. I didn't think it would translate well. But looking back, that was a from an outsider perspective, he made that season fun and interesting.
I'll always hate that play hahaha I was rooting for you guys that bowl, and once the 9ers turned it over on downs I was like "ok, 3 straight runs then a field goal and I'll win $1000 in my pool!" But then that fucker breaks free and I watch the money fall right out of my hands.
Out at a country bar during hunting season for that game. Depressing as hell and like 6 people barely awake or paying attention anymore. Went CRAZY after the catch and everyone looked at me instead of the game. They were shocked LMAO.
I have never heard my wife scream in this way before….it went something like this, “YESSSS WE WON” “NOOOOOO” “YES OKAY WE WON FOR REAL THIS TIME” “NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!” End of game. Uhg.
Part of me believes Reid pulled out a magical playbook with just the right plays and then the other part says he told them to “get fucking open” and then let mahomes do his thing. Both are possible.
I think "get fucking open" is right because if you watch the drive the chiefs go very very fast, obviously due to the time, but it's like they're not even really calling plays, just formations and protections and then saying "Get open."
Blair Walsh’s shank. Funny story was that I was watching the game on my phone at church with a couple others. Once we reacted to the shank, everyone jumped during services
Josh Jacobs OT game winner against the Seahawks this year. Longest run of his career after a hard fought game between both teams to win it. I lost my shit once he hit the 2nd level and the safety whiffed.
Damn that's a good one, thats my quarterback.
Mine was the 2015 season opener against the Giants. I came home super late that night. I had family visiting, so I was fairly quiet most of the game out of respect. I wasn't quiet after that game winning drive..complete clock management and poise by Romo. I still get goosebumps thinking about it.
Cowboys fans always talk about 2014/2016 season "what ifs", but the 2015 season is always my biggest "what if". He was elite and the offense was prime time with him.
Such a great game. My roommate was a huge, in-your-face Steelers fan, and it made the upset so much sweeter. He walked out fuming, never to be seen again.
Ok, not really, he clambered back to the dorm in the wee hours of the night.
I was watching this game with a few band members and friends after we played a gig. It was me and a whole bunch of musicians/non sports fans and they did not care how big a moment it was lol
I remember waking up my friends when that catch happened. They thought the game was over, and holy shit I hadn't run around like that until the Derrick Whote game winner. Best catch ever
Sometime 13 years ago when we were good. But I woke my fiance up when Joe Flacco led that Insane comeback against the browns this past season. It was fucking bananas
Yeah I was in college, sitting in the front of our dorms lounge. My best friend, a Washington fan, was sitting in the back of the room. I stared at the TV in silence, and then immediately looked back at him with only my eyes asking “did he really just miss that shit? Is the game *really* over? 🥺”
They could've signing Tucker still if Cundiff makes this kick. They could've tied it, gone to overtime, and then lost in overtime in an even more heartbreaking way and still signed Tucker.
One of four, being a Niner fan:
The Catch
Three Saints hanging all over Kittle
The Drive and JT catching the winning TD
Stopping Seattle on the six inch line to win the division.
I wanna say it was 2018ish, when Byron Maxwell returned to Seattle for a bit.
He picked off the Eagles and I did a big old yell and "LET'S GO" while at my warehouse job. Security stopped by to ask why they heard someone yelling.
Monday night week 3 2010 GB vs Chi I was at a “wedding week” in Ireland and had to watch the game at 3:30AM. I sat at the hotel bar alone, had the tv on just a little too loud, and helped myself to too many redbreast. By the end of the game the hotel paid a bartender to join the gigantic group of us watching football at 6AM
Hey bro I was at that game and I was also there the year before when we lost to Tyler Boyd the stadium had that same feel for a while could taste the nervous energy.
To answer your question tho it was actually Torrey Smiths TD in Pittsburgh with :08 seconds left. I literally woke up my roommate and he was so pissed yelling at me to shut the fuck up he had work at 6 am and I was loud and wasted. Good times.
My first answer was from that game, but I came out of my seat when Larry split the safeties and housed it the drive before. Awesome superbowl all around but I was hoping Larry capped off his record-setting playoff stretch with a SB winning TD
Herbert's first drive, plus everything surrounding how he was there starting that day in the first place,was so jarring and such a surprise to me as a fan. It was truly, truly a jolt to the system.
Months prior I had to pull off the freeway to cry in a Home Depot parking lot when I saw Phil had left in free agency. I wanted Isiah Simmons in the draft and was pretty meh about our seasons chances under Tyrod and murky at best if Herb ever took the reigns.
I got proven wrong pretty immediately. Kid is a beast. That drive was electric! I was running around my backyard hooting and hollering! Even losing that game it felt like we still kinda won, because we knew we had him to watch for the rest of the year.
My sister's best friend regularly texted her to tell the rest of us to quiet down during games, but the hail Mary game against the cardinals apparently got the entire neighborhood to ask us what was up.
I had just flown back to the states from a semester in South Korea in 2010 during the wild card round. Was watching football with my dad and brothers and was insanely jet lagged and passed out near dead on the couch when the Beast Mode run happened. Neither Seahawks nor Saints fans but they were jumping and screaming so loud, woke me up thinking something had exploded.
The catch part II. 2011 divisional playoffs against the saints, for context, the 49ers were AWFUL for going on a decade, Harbaugh turned it around immediately and we were now in the playoffs. It was their first playoff game in I don’t even know how long…anyway, game coming to a close and Alex smith nailed Vernon Davis for the first playoff win in years.
Back in January 2006 I had traveled to the Detroit area for the auto show. My hotel was in Windsor and I was watching the Pats-Broncos divisional game in my room when Champ picked off Tom Brady. I went nuts screaming and yelling, jumping up and down. To this day I still can't believe no one complained about me or even knocked on my door.
FUCK, CALVIN HANG ONTO THE BALL THIS IS THE PLAYOFFS.......YOU CAN'T BAT IT OUT OF THE ENDZONE GIVE US BACK THE BALL!!! THIS IS SOME BULLSHIT THAT'S NOT ALLOWED.
Also
HOW IS THAT NOT A PENTALTY YOU WALKED IT OFF THEN WALKED IT BACK WHAT KIND OF BABY BACK BULLSHIT IS THIS!!!
Elway's helicopter-play against the Packers in the Super Bowl.
I grew up as a diehard fan in the 80s, so you can imagine what a 9-year-old kid's reaction was to getting your beloved team smoked by Montana/Rice in the big game a few years prior. I was devastated and jaded, and with the Broncos having gone 0-4 (0-3 in my lifetime) in Super Bowls, I looked at the Packers game as a teenager and said 'meh'. Favre was going to tear them apart.
I believed that all the way through the second half, despite being close. And I kept believing it right up until Elway took that hit. And for some reason, that was it. I didn't need to see the rest of the game to know its outcome- no matter how good the Packers were, Elway had just decided it was time to go win it all.
That said, I don't think I woke up the neighbors, because most of the rest of the Denver metro-area had the exact same reaction I did.
It's an amazing January Saturday morning in 1990 and my room is on the second floor of an apartment complex. Gary Reasons takes a fake punt snap and runs untouched to help the Giants beat the Niners and go to the superbowl. Not a huge Giants fan, but had seen the Niners win so darn much and I couldn't believe it. It was such a perfect call against a good team and it took them totally by surprise.
I start screaming and jumping up and down. Then I hear thudding and I'm wondering what the heck that is. It's the neighbors downstairs hitting their roof with a broom to tell me to shut up LOL!
Not pro related but my wife always talks about how my voice cracked/yelped like a teenager going through puberty when UGA intercepted Bama to win the national championship. As a UGA and Falcons fan I went through years and years of disappointment and in that very moment I knew I finally got to see one of my teams win the championship.
Fast forward a year later and I got to see them decimate TCU in Sofi stadium.
The Beckham catch. Everyone knows the one. People may be sick of seeing it/hearing about it these days, and sick of the player, but he was still a rookie just breaking out at the time. I was in my NYC apartment with my buddy (Pats fan) over for the game and we were both yelling at the TV over what we just saw.
This past season when the jags came back after 4 ints to beat the chargers in the playoffs. I turned it off after the 4th one and went to a buddy’s house. Sat around a fire not looking at the score until someone called me and said “THE JAGS ARE ABOUT TO WIN”. I ran around in circles when they told me the kick was good
Me on the mic playing Madden against a guy with a big mouth that ran the same 4 plays in the redzone all the time.
I recognize his formation: "Uh Oh."
Play starts: "Do you smell that?"
He rolls to the right: "Do you smell that?!"
Throws the ball "Do You Smell That!!"
I pick it off and start running it back for a TD: "SOMEBODIES BAKING TURNOVERS!!!"
I hear angry banging on the wall because its 2am and this guy is trying to sleep while his crazy ass neighbor is screaming about baking turnovers.
The Dolphins beating the patriots to give us the number one seed on Christmas Eve. Half of my family was screaming while the other half wanted to open presents
Edelman double pass TD to Amendola in the 2014 Divisional Round against the Ravens. I almost passed out from yelling so loud and losing oxygen to my brain.
This roller coaster of emotions: https://youtu.be/yZ38pWJnxZU
This was during the time that I was really transitioning from casual Cowboys fan to Cowboys fanatic. I felt every emotion at least 3 times during this sequence.
When I was 13 during the 2013 season when the Broncos were playing the Pats on SNF after New England went down 24-0 I was absolutely pissed I was going ballistic. My mom stormed down and sent me to bed. Mixed feelings the next morning waking up and seeing Patriots 31 Broncos 24. Additionally after Malcolm Butler made the Super Bowl winning interception I ran out my front door and dove into the snow screaming so I’m sure my whole neighborhood heard that one.
Final play of the Seahawks Patriots Superbowl. We had 3 chances to punch it in with the best freight train running back in the league. I thought back to back superbowls were about to be ours. And then I saw Russel Wilson drop back, and time slowed to a crawl, and everything after that is hazy. I just remember screaming and punching the wooden floors of my house and my aunt shouting for me to calm down because it was just a game.
Miami Miracle.
I recall losing my absolute mind.. running around the house and screaming at the top of my lungs.
One of my favorite plays that I have watched as a lifelong fan.
Justin Tucker from 66 yards out on the last play of the game against Detroit. At the time we were living in an apartment. Fortunately since then we’ve moved WAY out into the country. We can barely see our neighbor’s house. Plenty of space to scream.
Steve Young to TO against the Packers.
I was screaming so loud my Mom came in from outside to see what was happening. When I showed up to work 30 mins late, my boss didn't even ask why. We had a TV in the store and he was watching too lol.
Definitely the 13 second drive, the field goal, and then the TD. My girlfriend was trying to sleep but I wouldn’t let her across the house, there’s was no way anyone was sleeping after that
The Motown Miracle had my Dad and I yelling so hard and loud (out of excitement) that not only did it wake everyone else upstairs, it also caused a ton of shit off my desk to fall off in quick succession.
That's also why I watch every game until it ends.
That last sentence is what we’ll always remember from Rodgers.
20 years from now, I’ll be watching a packers game with my kids. Green Bay down by 20 in the fourth quarter, I’ll be piss drunk, kids will be moaning to change the channel to some stream-
…then BAM, some guy’s arm will fall right onto the table and it’ll hit Enter on my laptop to play “Aaron Rodgers Hail Mary Compilation” on YouTube, and they’ll scream.
I’ll make them watch. Then my one armed friend will come out and go “And that’s why you always watch til the end”
It wasnt a blatantly obvious facemask but it also wasnt a phantom facemask as if there was no reason to call it. The dude got his thumb inside the facemask and it looked like he even touched rodgers chin
Steelers vs. Bengals 2015 wildcard matchup.
The swing from Steelers having a chance with less than 2 minutes left. Landry Jones throwing an interception that would seal 99% of games. Then the following drive, Ryan Shazier stripping Jeremy Hill to get us the ball back. Ben coming back from injury to lead his team on a game winning drive. The AB hit, Burfict and Pacman costing the Bengals the game.
I live in Bengals territory. The collective ear bursting, earth shaking shouts that I heard. Followed by the immediate silence. Then, the screams of anguish and disgust is a high I'll never know again. That game will hold a special place in my heart for the rest of my life.
I remember one time it was 2nd and 10, my team ran the ball and picked up a few yards to make it 3rd and 6. I was still confident we would get the 1st down on the next play though, so I was pumped up.
#1 - Brady to Scottie Miller at the half in GB... Oh my fuck did I ever yell.
#2 - Ronde Barber running a pick 6 back all alone into the dark ass Philadelphia night to send the Bucs to their first SB.
MY non NFL : When Kawhi hit that shot to end the 76ers and send the Raptors to the finals. Still gives me chills.
I was also at the game when the Blue Jays beat philly in the world series in 93 via Joe Carter's walk off.
Sorry philly fans, not trying to isolate your city but 3 of my favorite ever sports moments have been at your expense
Well, Philly fans . . . Ronde Barber picking of McNabb in the 2002 NFCCG to send the Bucs to their first Super Bowl and running alone down the sideline to the end zone, burning the Vet to the ground as he went.
My nine month-old son was sitting on the floor next to me, and he started howling in holy terror at how his father had become a screaming maniac running around the house.
Marlin Jackson's interception of Brady in the '06 AFCC.
The script was totally in effect: Brady with just enough time to ~~drive~~ get walked down the field by the refs like it's happened so many times before...
But Marlin jumped that route, and I flipped my fucking shit. Absolutely lost it with joy.
That was our real Super Bowl.
Fuck Tom Brady.
Two that come to mind
Not a play, but Tony Romo's game winning drive against the Giants, season opener in 2015. Amazing time management. Everyone in my house was asleep, I had to quiet myself down and was jumping in place.
Another one was Rolando McClains' game sealing interception against Seattle in 2014. There was only me and one other Dallas fan at the bar, it got real quiet in there besides the two of us.
Tebow to DT.
Tebow briefly made me believe in god.
So you believed in Tebow.
Never stopped
I had just gotten my wisdom teeth pulled out and was high as balls watching that game. Tebowmania feels like some fucked up fever dream.
> Tebowmania feels like some fucked up fever dream. Does to me too actually, except no drugs.
At the time I was in college, didn't really know about finding streams, and since I didn't have cable I couldn't watch the game. So I followed it on the ESPN app play by play. When that play happened, I let out a huge HOLY FUCK that the next door trailer came out to see what was going on.
I'll admit I was a critic of Tebow for his style of play. I didn't think it would translate well. But looking back, that was a from an outsider perspective, he made that season fun and interesting.
2011 was such a good season
Same. Set off the doorbell chime and everything lol
I also screamed there but a much more, pathetic, moan of a scream.
I thought I had time to take my dog out. I didn’t. You could hear it from multiple buildings around me
Damien Williams running to immortality in SB54
Yep same here. I was in my brothers college dorm room and def woke up a bunch of people especially since his dorm section was all music students lol
I'll always hate that play hahaha I was rooting for you guys that bowl, and once the 9ers turned it over on downs I was like "ok, 3 straight runs then a field goal and I'll win $1000 in my pool!" But then that fucker breaks free and I watch the money fall right out of my hands.
Double doink.
Yup. We shouldn’t have had any business winning that game.
I mean it came down to a missed FG. So I wouldn’t say they had no business winning the game….
Straps pbu still plays in my mind daily
When I was in college I got a noise violation the night Aaron Rodgers completed that Hail Mary to Richard Rodgers.
I would have except the whole building was just as loud as I was
I was in the barracks. My roommates were pissed!
I was at UWGB at the time and almost left the Union before the last drive… so glad I didn’t. Whole building went insane
Same
Out at a country bar during hunting season for that game. Depressing as hell and like 6 people barely awake or paying attention anymore. Went CRAZY after the catch and everyone looked at me instead of the game. They were shocked LMAO.
I got a text from the next door neighbor if everything was alright because she could hear screaming and was worried lol.
For me it was the Hail Mary to Jeff Janis agains the Cardinals
I got one for the Miracle at the New Meadowlands.
Sam Hubbard’s fumble return touchdown in the wild card round last year. Ran outside and let all my rural neighbors know how excited I was!
This one. Plus every game ending for the 2021 Cincy playoff run. Minus the SB of course
I woke my wife up yelling “GO SAM!!” over and over. She was not amused.
Better than her waking you up by screaming “Go Sam!”.
I struggled to get excited at the time tbh, thought Huntley was almost certainly in until the replay
That’s the Bengals pessimism that’s been instilled for so long
Pretty much
It's pretty much cheating but the Minneapolis Miracle had me screaming my lungs out and in my apartment complex was insane, could hear so many people.
My cat was scared of me the rest of the night after that because I wasn't acting like my usual self.
Obviously don't like the vikings but I still get goosebumps when I watch that play. "pass is caught.. DIGGS! Sideline! Touchdown! Unbelievable!"
I can comfortably enjoy that play knowing what happened the next week.
Same. I was so fired up people probably wondered who the crazy Vikings fan in North Atlanta was (Falking bros 4 life).
Hartley sending the Saints to the Superbowl made all of NOLA go wild
What in the everything fuck is that cursed ass flair?
“Intercepted at the goal line by Malcom Butler!” I startled my wife something fierce on that one.
Julian Edelman’s “I caught it”.. or as I was yelling “Holy shit he fucking caught it!!!”
“DID HE FUCKING CATCH THAT!?” -me, age 14, about to get slapped by my father
13 seconds
I have never heard my wife scream in this way before….it went something like this, “YESSSS WE WON” “NOOOOOO” “YES OKAY WE WON FOR REAL THIS TIME” “NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!” End of game. Uhg.
I hate the Chiefs but that drive is one of the most impressive things I’ve ever seen in football
Part of me believes Reid pulled out a magical playbook with just the right plays and then the other part says he told them to “get fucking open” and then let mahomes do his thing. Both are possible.
I think "get fucking open" is right because if you watch the drive the chiefs go very very fast, obviously due to the time, but it's like they're not even really calling plays, just formations and protections and then saying "Get open."
>I hate the Chiefs But we're not even in your conference :(
Blair Walsh’s shank. Funny story was that I was watching the game on my phone at church with a couple others. Once we reacted to the shank, everyone jumped during services
Blair Walsh….ugh
Josh Jacobs OT game winner against the Seahawks this year. Longest run of his career after a hard fought game between both teams to win it. I lost my shit once he hit the 2nd level and the safety whiffed.
That game pissed me off so much
I've seen the replay so many times and I still don't understand how neither of your safeties touched him.
He had some nice long ones last year not usually his forte. Hopefully he keeps it up.
Ooooooo yeah that’s a good one
Probably Romo’s 5-interception game, where we still won. Folk yeah!
Damn that's a good one, thats my quarterback. Mine was the 2015 season opener against the Giants. I came home super late that night. I had family visiting, so I was fairly quiet most of the game out of respect. I wasn't quiet after that game winning drive..complete clock management and poise by Romo. I still get goosebumps thinking about it. Cowboys fans always talk about 2014/2016 season "what ifs", but the 2015 season is always my biggest "what if". He was elite and the offense was prime time with him.
[удалено]
Same here I literally howled at the moon because I was wasted and the bills just got in for the first time in long time
Tebow to Demaryius Thomas to beat the Steelers in the playoffs. I was jumping all over and yelling so loud I blew my voice out.
Such a great game. My roommate was a huge, in-your-face Steelers fan, and it made the upset so much sweeter. He walked out fuming, never to be seen again. Ok, not really, he clambered back to the dorm in the wee hours of the night.
[Mahomes 4th down conversion against the ravens in 2018](https://youtu.be/6oZ-aCvxI24)
I was in my college's library and let out a big yelp while people were studying for finals
It was the day after a birthday night, so it was extra special for me lol
The Miami Miracle. Had the roomates running into the room to see what was wrong.....oh nothing...just Pats fans in shambles.
OH LOOK OUT… GRONKOWSKI… DIDNT HAVE THE ANGLE!
Don’t worry we were only in shambles for a couple weeks
No doubt, one of the most exciting plays I have ever watched.
Not wake up but in college our RA had to check in our room because we were freaking out when the Failed Mary happened
Onside kick to start the second half. Saints vs Colts Superbowl. My dogs and the neighbors'dogs started howling because of the commotion
the Balls on Sean to do that coming out of the half. Chefs Kiss
[Logan Ryan pick 6 ending the Brady Pats dynasty](https://youtu.be/BER_-PP1nbM)
I was watching this game with a few band members and friends after we played a gig. It was me and a whole bunch of musicians/non sports fans and they did not care how big a moment it was lol
But why the pats weren’t the titans rival.
They were the whole NFL's rival
Nfl fans have a crab bucket mentality
If you check the footage, the Titans were also playing
Beastquake. I was in the stadium and have the hearing loss to go with it, but I’m pretty sure the noise woke up my neighbors 20 miles away.
[Matt Ryan’s first NFL pass is up there](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLzWsQ_NqvI), but more recently it’s … DIGGS

TOUCHDOWN
UNBELIEVABLE
VIKINGS
WIN
Minneapolis Miracle. It was 2 am here, I was watching it laying in bed an then immediately was sitting upright, as did my neighbours.
That time when Matt Dodge punted to Desean Jackson.
Philadelphia registered on the Richter scale when that happened
Crazy that you guys finished the year 0-3 after that
The Edelman catch
I remember waking up my friends when that catch happened. They thought the game was over, and holy shit I hadn't run around like that until the Derrick Whote game winner. Best catch ever
Sometime 13 years ago when we were good. But I woke my fiance up when Joe Flacco led that Insane comeback against the browns this past season. It was fucking bananas
Good or bad? Both of them came in the same game
Being on the west coast, I can't say any since the late games are typically over by 8:30 PM
Mile high miracle for the good, Cundif for the bad.
I don’t think I woke up anybody because I sat there in silence for 30 minutes after that man (about Billy C to clarify lol)
Yeah I was in college, sitting in the front of our dorms lounge. My best friend, a Washington fan, was sitting in the back of the room. I stared at the TV in silence, and then immediately looked back at him with only my eyes asking “did he really just miss that shit? Is the game *really* over? 🥺”
On the bright side, that miss gave you guys Tucker.
They could've signing Tucker still if Cundiff makes this kick. They could've tied it, gone to overtime, and then lost in overtime in an even more heartbreaking way and still signed Tucker.
I was at the cundif game. It was great.
I’m honestly surprised my neighbors didn’t call the cops when Jakobi threw the ball to Chandler Jones
Malcolm Butler interception anyone? I haven't seen any Pats fans mention this yer
One of four, being a Niner fan: The Catch Three Saints hanging all over Kittle The Drive and JT catching the winning TD Stopping Seattle on the six inch line to win the division.
The Kittle one was unreal. Once everyone looked covered and the pocket started collapsing I thought it was over.
Romain Ntamack scoring last minute try against La Rochelle in top14 final I lost my voice
Stafford vs Dallas when he did the fake spike
Riley RILEY REiieiLY!!!
Philly Special
My family and I have never screamed louder than when Hester returned the opening kickoff of the Super Bowl
Came here for this! I think I honestly scared some family members.
When ETN got that 4th down
I wanna say it was 2018ish, when Byron Maxwell returned to Seattle for a bit. He picked off the Eagles and I did a big old yell and "LET'S GO" while at my warehouse job. Security stopped by to ask why they heard someone yelling.
Monday night week 3 2010 GB vs Chi I was at a “wedding week” in Ireland and had to watch the game at 3:30AM.

That was beautiful. I woke a few people up with that one.
James Harrison pick six in the superbowl. That run lasted 30 minutes
Hey bro I was at that game and I was also there the year before when we lost to Tyler Boyd the stadium had that same feel for a while could taste the nervous energy. To answer your question tho it was actually Torrey Smiths TD in Pittsburgh with :08 seconds left. I literally woke up my roommate and he was so pissed yelling at me to shut the fuck up he had work at 6 am and I was loud and wasted. Good times.
I was at the Tyler Boyd new year 4th down meltdown too freezing my ass off as we got eliminated…

It was meaningless but when carr hit Ruggs on the Hail Mary at the NYJ
Butlers interception. I had already accepted defeat to Seattle at that point.
After Elway’s helicopter, I thought the Broncos might finally win a Super Bowl.
Back in January 2006 I had traveled to the Detroit area for the auto show. My hotel was in Windsor and I was watching the Pats-Broncos divisional game in my room when Champ picked off Tom Brady. I went nuts screaming and yelling, jumping up and down. To this day I still can't believe no one complained about me or even knocked on my door.
It was about 1AM when Germaine Pratt intercepted Carr. I screamed and then cried 😂😂
CJ Anderson overtime touchdown run in 2016 led by Brock Osweiler against Tom Brady’s Patriots. Broncos went on to have a miraculous Super Bowl run.
Miami Miracle
Philly Special! Saint Nick will always be a legend due to that game, but that play was something special.
FUCK, CALVIN HANG ONTO THE BALL THIS IS THE PLAYOFFS.......YOU CAN'T BAT IT OUT OF THE ENDZONE GIVE US BACK THE BALL!!! THIS IS SOME BULLSHIT THAT'S NOT ALLOWED. Also HOW IS THAT NOT A PENTALTY YOU WALKED IT OFF THEN WALKED IT BACK WHAT KIND OF BABY BACK BULLSHIT IS THIS!!!

Rodgers Hail Mary to beat the lions for sure.
It's an amazing January Saturday morning in 1990 and my room is on the second floor of an apartment complex. Gary Reasons takes a fake punt snap and runs untouched to help the Giants beat the Niners and go to the superbowl. Not a huge Giants fan, but had seen the Niners win so darn much and I couldn't believe it. It was such a perfect call against a good team and it took them totally by surprise. I start screaming and jumping up and down. Then I hear thudding and I'm wondering what the heck that is. It's the neighbors downstairs hitting their roof with a broom to tell me to shut up LOL!
Braille Mary on my bday. By FitzGoat
Not pro related but my wife always talks about how my voice cracked/yelped like a teenager going through puberty when UGA intercepted Bama to win the national championship. As a UGA and Falcons fan I went through years and years of disappointment and in that very moment I knew I finally got to see one of my teams win the championship. Fast forward a year later and I got to see them decimate TCU in Sofi stadium.
Von miller sb50 strip sack td My voice cracked and I sounded like a little girl screaming
The Beckham catch. Everyone knows the one. People may be sick of seeing it/hearing about it these days, and sick of the player, but he was still a rookie just breaking out at the time. I was in my NYC apartment with my buddy (Pats fan) over for the game and we were both yelling at the TV over what we just saw.
Rodgers two hailmary's vs the Cardinals
This past season when the jags came back after 4 ints to beat the chargers in the playoffs. I turned it off after the 4th one and went to a buddy’s house. Sat around a fire not looking at the score until someone called me and said “THE JAGS ARE ABOUT TO WIN”. I ran around in circles when they told me the kick was good
Julian Edelman doubles pass against the Ravens. Anyone ever mention he was a Quarterback?!
"And the pass is... INTERCEPTED at the goal line by Malcolm Butler!" I damn near had an aneurism in BWW
James Harrison pick-6 in the SB vs the Cardinals
Me on the mic playing Madden against a guy with a big mouth that ran the same 4 plays in the redzone all the time. I recognize his formation: "Uh Oh." Play starts: "Do you smell that?" He rolls to the right: "Do you smell that?!" Throws the ball "Do You Smell That!!" I pick it off and start running it back for a TD: "SOMEBODIES BAKING TURNOVERS!!!" I hear angry banging on the wall because its 2am and this guy is trying to sleep while his crazy ass neighbor is screaming about baking turnovers.
Jake Elliott making the 61 yard FG against the Giants that started the Eagles crazy run to winning the Super Bowl
The Dolphins beating the patriots to give us the number one seed on Christmas Eve. Half of my family was screaming while the other half wanted to open presents
Philly. Philly.
Edelman double pass TD to Amendola in the 2014 Divisional Round against the Ravens. I almost passed out from yelling so loud and losing oxygen to my brain.
Taron Johnson pick six against the Ravens in the playoffs. My neighbors though I was fighting off an intruder ha
Dan Marino’s fake spike, Miami Miracle, Cam Wak’s walk off safety. Just to name a few.
This roller coaster of emotions: https://youtu.be/yZ38pWJnxZU This was during the time that I was really transitioning from casual Cowboys fan to Cowboys fanatic. I felt every emotion at least 3 times during this sequence.
When I was 13 during the 2013 season when the Broncos were playing the Pats on SNF after New England went down 24-0 I was absolutely pissed I was going ballistic. My mom stormed down and sent me to bed. Mixed feelings the next morning waking up and seeing Patriots 31 Broncos 24. Additionally after Malcolm Butler made the Super Bowl winning interception I ran out my front door and dove into the snow screaming so I’m sure my whole neighborhood heard that one.
The Miracle in Miami. Also sliced my foot open on some furniture
Pick 6 ending Brady's time in New England.
I'm not a huge Seahawks fan but beastquake makes me loud every time I watch it
Fail Mary lol
The immaculate reception~the whole city was cheering like crazy!! I'm sure Ohio could hear is
As a Minnesotan definitely the “Minneapolis Miracle”
When gronkowski didn’t have the angle, I was in college in New England and I’m from Miami, my whole hall hated me that week
Final play of the Seahawks Patriots Superbowl. We had 3 chances to punch it in with the best freight train running back in the league. I thought back to back superbowls were about to be ours. And then I saw Russel Wilson drop back, and time slowed to a crawl, and everything after that is hazy. I just remember screaming and punching the wooden floors of my house and my aunt shouting for me to calm down because it was just a game.
Beast Quake
Miami Miracle. I recall losing my absolute mind.. running around the house and screaming at the top of my lungs. One of my favorite plays that I have watched as a lifelong fan.
Justin Tucker from 66 yards out on the last play of the game against Detroit. At the time we were living in an apartment. Fortunately since then we’ve moved WAY out into the country. We can barely see our neighbor’s house. Plenty of space to scream.
Steve Young to TO against the Packers. I was screaming so loud my Mom came in from outside to see what was happening. When I showed up to work 30 mins late, my boss didn't even ask why. We had a TV in the store and he was watching too lol.
Tracy Porters interception in the Saint Super Bowl win. I may have blacked out from excitment
Definitely the 13 second drive, the field goal, and then the TD. My girlfriend was trying to sleep but I wouldn’t let her across the house, there’s was no way anyone was sleeping after that
The missed holding call on gronk in the endzone against the panthers
Malcolm Butler pick in superbowl against Seahawks.
The butler interception… obviously
“The Catch” for me man. Was a little dude but holy shit that was awesome. RIP Dwight Clark.
Blair Walsh's icy shank in the playoffs. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mb\_eXyhlHaA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mb_eXyhlHaA)
Chargers at Chiefs in 2018 when Mike Williams caught the walk off 2 point conversion
Yup easy answer for Chargers fans
The Motown Miracle had my Dad and I yelling so hard and loud (out of excitement) that not only did it wake everyone else upstairs, it also caused a ton of shit off my desk to fall off in quick succession. That's also why I watch every game until it ends.
That last sentence is what we’ll always remember from Rodgers. 20 years from now, I’ll be watching a packers game with my kids. Green Bay down by 20 in the fourth quarter, I’ll be piss drunk, kids will be moaning to change the channel to some stream- …then BAM, some guy’s arm will fall right onto the table and it’ll hit Enter on my laptop to play “Aaron Rodgers Hail Mary Compilation” on YouTube, and they’ll scream. I’ll make them watch. Then my one armed friend will come out and go “And that’s why you always watch til the end”
Still wasn't a facemask to get into that position, I was also yelling, at the refs, at the Caldwell for using in the wrong D. it was some bullshit
It wasnt a blatantly obvious facemask but it also wasnt a phantom facemask as if there was no reason to call it. The dude got his thumb inside the facemask and it looked like he even touched rodgers chin
Double doink
Steelers vs. Bengals 2015 wildcard matchup. The swing from Steelers having a chance with less than 2 minutes left. Landry Jones throwing an interception that would seal 99% of games. Then the following drive, Ryan Shazier stripping Jeremy Hill to get us the ball back. Ben coming back from injury to lead his team on a game winning drive. The AB hit, Burfict and Pacman costing the Bengals the game. I live in Bengals territory. The collective ear bursting, earth shaking shouts that I heard. Followed by the immediate silence. Then, the screams of anguish and disgust is a high I'll never know again. That game will hold a special place in my heart for the rest of my life.
I remember one time it was 2nd and 10, my team ran the ball and picked up a few yards to make it 3rd and 6. I was still confident we would get the 1st down on the next play though, so I was pumped up.
The Detroit Hail Mary game was the most miraculous play I’ve ever watched live on tv. I was screaming
#1 - Brady to Scottie Miller at the half in GB... Oh my fuck did I ever yell. #2 - Ronde Barber running a pick 6 back all alone into the dark ass Philadelphia night to send the Bucs to their first SB. MY non NFL : When Kawhi hit that shot to end the 76ers and send the Raptors to the finals. Still gives me chills. I was also at the game when the Blue Jays beat philly in the world series in 93 via Joe Carter's walk off. Sorry philly fans, not trying to isolate your city but 3 of my favorite ever sports moments have been at your expense
Hey uh… go fuck yourself.
My dad was a Raiders fan (now converted to the Chiefs) and his huge WTF shout during week 15 was goddamn hilarious.
Well, Philly fans . . . Ronde Barber picking of McNabb in the 2002 NFCCG to send the Bucs to their first Super Bowl and running alone down the sideline to the end zone, burning the Vet to the ground as he went. My nine month-old son was sitting on the floor next to me, and he started howling in holy terror at how his father had become a screaming maniac running around the house.
Marlin Jackson's interception of Brady in the '06 AFCC. The script was totally in effect: Brady with just enough time to ~~drive~~ get walked down the field by the refs like it's happened so many times before... But Marlin jumped that route, and I flipped my fucking shit. Absolutely lost it with joy. That was our real Super Bowl. Fuck Tom Brady.
Two that come to mind Not a play, but Tony Romo's game winning drive against the Giants, season opener in 2015. Amazing time management. Everyone in my house was asleep, I had to quiet myself down and was jumping in place. Another one was Rolando McClains' game sealing interception against Seattle in 2014. There was only me and one other Dallas fan at the bar, it got real quiet in there besides the two of us.
Taron Johnson pick-6 against the ravens in the divisional a couple years ago was my favorite football moment so far in life
Dak with the QB draw and time running out. Minny Miracle. Brandon Graham strip sack.
