See my user name. Damn right I remember that one. And it came against the Vikings so that made it sweeter.
Another great one from Monday Night was Dorsett's 99-yard run. Favre and Robert Brooks had a 99-yard TD on a Monday Night against the Bears once too.
Maybe this should be in the "You know you are a FF fanatic when....."I remember Freeman's fluke catch cause I lost a game that week because of it...of course it was after I had talked **** all Monday, too.As for Steve Young's run, he had his helmet on the entire time (the helmet-less run was in the pre-season vs the Chargers) but basically staggered into the endzone after weaving through 9 Viking defenders.The Roger Craig run was at the 'Stick vs. the Rams, I don't think it was for a TD, but I think it was about 30 yards or so. I remember that run because he got three standing O's on it from us fans--one after it, one on the way to the sidelines for a breather, and one when he came back into the game.
Now I'm one of the biggest Steeler fans, but how can you pick this play. The video replay barely shows the 'catch' and he did not even have to break a tackle.A great day in Steeler history, but hardly a great play.================I'm gonna be a lammer and pick the Stanford 'Band' kickoff return TD..... because how many times does someone get to crush the Tuba player with such a nice hit!College, but still my favorite TD ever1972Three Rivers StadiumDivisonal Playoff GameOakland Raiders vs. THE PITTSBURGH STEELERSFranco Harris had this little TD reception you guys might have heard about .......(maybe some of you are too young)The Immaculate Reception
Sorry Couch Potato
MUSIC CITY MIRACLE, BABY!Watched the game at a friends house that day. Went out on his back deck after that Dyson TD and you hear people all over the neighborhood screaming and hollering on their back decks.What a day that was!
I have a sentimental favorite - Haven Moses' last TD catch for Denver. Wasn't anything spectacular, but the way he looked at the ball after the catch, probably knowing that he wouldn't be there many more times if at all, to me it said a lot about his love for the game.Being a Bronco homer, I really liked TD running over the Green Bay Packers in the Super Bowl.
It was vs. the Vikes...Joey Browner tripped overhimself twice trying to make the play. ARRGGUUUHHH!The Moss to Moe Williams lateral this year was pretty cool.I agree with many that Montana to Clark was incredible.Another incredible one that I hate because of my Vikes allegiance is the Staubeck to Pearson Hail Mary. (He pushed off!!!) :stoney:
That wasn't one of my favorites.
That's one of my favorite highlites ever. Campbell just put his head down and put the crown of his helmet right into the defender's sternum. What a crushing blow. But the unfortunate soul was actually a linebacker. The play was against the Rams, and the LB (#58) was Isiah Robertson when he played for L.A. Despite being a 6-time Pro Bowl selection, Robertson is probably best remembered as the Buffalo Bill who appears in the NFL Films archives singing "I.... got a feeeee-lin'... Buffalo's goin' to da Super Bowl." Whether as a Ram or as a Bill, Robertson was a damn good player.
Earl Campbell vs Jack Tatum (Raiders) at the goalline? Maybe the hardest running RB vs the hardest hitting safety in NFL history. Full speed, straight on collision. Tatum goes down in a heap. Campbell stumbles like a drunk into the endzone before falling. I don't know if either can be called the winner.My homer Raider call is the Holy Roller. Stabler tosses it forward, VanEeghan knocks it to the three, Casper can't pick it up then falls on it in the endzone. Clock expires...Madden jumps around like crazy.
lol, didn't read the thread, figured that's all it was. I'll also add Ronde Barber running back back the pick to beat the Eagles...may have been better than Brooks'.LOL at all the lame homer responses starting to accumulate.Derrick Brooks picking off Rich Gannon and sealing up Super Bowl 37
Trust me, I won't. We're already 20 years ahead of the pace your team set. Besides, anyone can be the Raiders.btw, don't hate because your team has never experienced a Super Bowl clinching-TD.LOL at all the lame homer responses starting to accumulate.Derrick Brooks picking off Rich Gannon and sealing up Super Bowl 37
Maybe I should start a favorite famous blocked PAT thread.While we're on the subject of lame homer TDs, what about the Fridge on the best Super Bowl team evah!
to that 
My favorite is the Vick OT run against the VikingsAnother one I remember, one that was not a great TD or anything, but something a little different - I believe it was the season opener for the Rams after winning the Super Bowl - a game against Denver. Hakim caught a 80 yard TD and basically he and Holt ran side by side, facemask to facemask all the way down the field together for like the last 40 yards without a Bronco anywhere in sight
Oooh, good call. I remember that one too. That game was all it was hyped up to be. First Monday nighter that year. It looked like they were talking to each other too. Speaking of talking behind the facemasks, I remember Jeremy Shockey catching a TD against the Eagles I think and as he and the DB were laying next to each other in the endzone, you can see Shockey saying something to him. I always wondered what exactly he was telling that guy.
that was awesome and exactly the one I was gonna say. You even knew the date huh? the linebacker was headed right for Gary with another couple defenders headed to him too. Nowhere to go. As the linebacker crouched down(running, mind you, full speed live play of course) to make the tackle his back almost parallel to the ground, Gary flipped and his back went right over the LBers back, rolling right over him it was incredible.Randall C got screamed at for trying a similar play in Philly as he's a QB and shouldn't risk getting hurt etc. Gary was like Jordan in an NFL uniform or give him 6 more inches than young Marcus Allen's leaps. The guy could flat out jump and even his one yard endzone dives were impressive.My fave FF involved touchdown was at the end of a game against Tampa. Hardy had owned Barry all day and my friend only needed a few points to win. He couldn't believe the lowly Bucs were stopping his stud from not pulling this out for him. He's at the bar, drinking, figuring it's over, real down as he was so close. Barry only had like 20-24 yards and it was late in the 4th. Suddenly Barry broke free somewhere near the 10-20 yard line and I'd swear he was at the 50 in one second's time. So incredibly fast. My friend's got chips in his mouth, beer in his hand he looks up, spits out the chips, and screams "holy sh" and then as Barry's chugging to the goalline with Tampa defenders trying to catch him, he's screaming "who's you're daddy? who's you're daddy?". Everyone at the bar was staring, he was so loud. Ya couldn't help but feel happy for him, it was too funny how it worked out. Plus, us friends of his, got to tease him for years and years about the "who's your daddy" line.
Why overrated? First play in OT. Should have been tackled after about 5 yards, great stiff arm, awesome blocking downfield, and this was a comeback year for him.I tihnk everybody is going to have their personal fave, but if anything is overrated it's the SF's "The Catch" - only because it's replayed all the time and it wasn't that spectacular of a play.
First play in OTSo?
