You might add another one after tonight (January 14, 2023). The Los Angeles Chargers just finished blowing a 27-0 lead to lose 30-31 to the Jaguars at Jacksonville. After throwing 4 interceptions in the first half of his postseason debut (three in the first quarter), No. 1 draft pick Trevor Lawrence led his team on a comeback in which he threw 4 TD passes and set the Jags up for a game-winning field goal as time expired. The Chargers only scored 3 points in the second half, and DL Joey Bosa helped the Jaguar offense with two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties.
Bosa had a legitimate gripe too on the holding that wasn't called, not to mention the guy who held appeared to also have jumped early and yet no false start penalty.
@@lomarsweed6604 Even if all that is true, Bosa can't control the officials. He needs to focus on controlling what he can control: his composure. He didn't do that, and it helped his team lose.
Fun Fact: not only Frank Reich had one of the biggest comebacks in NFL History he also had one of the biggest comebacks in NCAA history when his Maryland team was down 31-0 against Miami in the Orange Bowl at halftime… They came out to the second half and out scored Miami 42-9 in the second half to win 42-40
Also it is the 30th anniversary of the greatest comeback still it wasn't televised in the Buffalo New York area wasn't a sell-out it wasn't a sellout in Buffalo New York area watch on television
Fun Fact on the other end of the spectrum: Matt Ryan had the biggest blown lead in the Super Bowl (28-3 and L) and the biggest blown lead in any game ever (33-0 and L).
Cody Parkey's double doink against Philly in 2018 will be forever implemented for bears fans for life, if that kick wasn't PARTIALLY blocked or even hit the crossbar twice, who knows what could've happened
Buffalo KC 13 seconds isn't on the list. But yeah That Bills/Oilers game had me in shock. Everyone in my house had left after that 3rd Quarter INT. They were pissed and said they will go do something else rather than watch this terrible team. Remember they lost to Houston just the week prior too. It was nuts.
As a Washington fan, the 2012 Wild Card Game will always be burned into my memory. All hope in our franchise's future was gone after that game. The atmosphere at Fedex was dead after RGIII got injured.
Even as an Eagles fan, that was really sad and depressing to watch the slow physical wear and tear on RGIII. I always was rooting for him. Sad it never worked out for him fully.
Yeah I wanted RGIII to win honestly. I'm a fan of that guy. But he kills it in commentary now, always awesome to see a game with him doing color commentary, not like color like his skin but color as in entertaining commentary. Lol that's a joke, remember those?
To this day, I will never get over that 2015 Bengals playoff game. I don't think I'll ever fully move on from how traumatically awful that was and how many years it set the team back and the disappointment that followed.
That Seahawks Vikings playoff game arguably changed the entire arc of Zimmer's tenure in Minnesota. That team, with its young and scrappy defense, would likely have done serious damage in the next rounds. Soon to follow was Bridgewater's catastrophic injury in camp/pre-season practice.
Respectfully that Carolina team would’ve blown out the Vikings. Hawks were the biggest threat to them in the NFC that year but played the worst first half in playoff history in Carolina. Vikings had a better shot in 2017
I didn't watch the game but I saw the recap of it the same day. Seeing our kicker miss the easiest goddamn field goal that a fan in the stands could make. It made me want to locate Blair Walsh and give him 2 black eyes.
Burfect ended ABs career (and what was his life up until that point) and cost them the game. Our offense absolutely sucked. We won that game because of a legendary performance by Boswell.
@@davidthosome623 people so quick to say burfict cost the bengals that game clearly didn’t watch jeremy hill fighting for extra yards only to fumble when all he had to do was go down. If gio hadn’t been speared in the jaw by shaziers helmet it would’ve been him in that spot most likely. Then Joey porter a Steelers coach was standing on the bengals sideline with a bunch of bengals players after the Antonio brown hit which he should’ve gotten flagged for. Instead, Pac-Man Jones got flagged for touching a ref adding another 15 yards to the already 15 yard penalty from burfict. It was literally the perfect storm of things going wrong. It’s hard to blame burfict (as dirty as he was) for that game when he was essentially single handily carrying that bengals defense in that game where both offenses were just miserable
As a Bengals fan, choking in 2015 was so much worse than losing Carson Palmer in 2005. After Palmer's injury, there was still hope moving forward with a franchise QB and one of the better receiving corps in the league. Our 2015 squad was so good but it was definitely a closing window and to lose (of course to the Steelers) in that fashion really felt like the end of something good and it left us in the wilderness for the rest of the decade.
I agree 2015 was worse. Palmer went down so early in the game and after that we pretty well knew our playoff run was over. 2015 required a string of smaller collapses to culminate into a soul-crushing defeat.
Agreed. Seriously I would have died for that 2015 team. My senior year of highschool. Being a life long bengals fan. The feeling hopeless after the Palmer and Ochocinco era. New life being given by the Dalton and green era. The years of being slept on and years of riding for Dalton. I really felt like finally it would be our year. Never loved a team more than that team. But now I have new life and can say that the spark is finally I would go to war for this team too
@@jason0938 I feel it. '22 is among my favorite teams ever. I'll be proud of these guys however it ends. When you lose that many consecutive first round playoff games it puts every win in a different perspective. I know that Bengals fans have been cocky and that's annoying to a lot of fanbases but for the few who stuck it out in the worst seasons, I'm just happy to be here.
Yeah the angle shown in this video clearly shows it's not a forward pass, like no one can contest it from that angle. I'm sure the ref made some bad calls, but that one was crystal clear on replay.
That hit on Carson was ridiculous, you could never convince me that he wasn't trying to blow out his knee especially the way those two teams used to play each other
@@celebrity292 It was 2006, you think they fined guys like they do now back then? Hell, he probably got a warning from the refs and a 'good job' from his coaches. Steelers are notorious for being scumbags.
I was at that game. Kemp got blocked into Palmer. He was visibly shaken after the hit, calling for medics to come help Carson. No way it was on purpose.
I love how the commentators were criticizing the music city miracle lateral, but that was 100 percent a lateral. a better view showed that it was a backward pass and that it was just the certain angle that made it look like it wasnt. 100 percent a lateral.
I assume those were the Bills announcers. The TV guys said it looked like a forward pass until they saw the replay and saw that it was, in fact, a lateral. ...But the thing is, even the Bills announcers would've had a TV in their booth, right? They were broadcasting on the radio, but they would've had the ability to see TV replays, wouldn't they? Because when you see the replay from that one angle, it is absolutely clear that the pass travels backwards. Not by a lot, but Wycheck releases the ball at about the 26, and Dyson catches it just past the 25. Definitely a lateral.
Shows the errors in our perception. When I saw it in real time, it seemed like an obvious foward pass. Obviously, the replay shows the ball was received behind the line of the throw. Guess I can never trust my eyes again.
Absolutely !......He made some AWESOME plays in his career but if he had only made that ONE in his whole career he would STILL get my vote for HOF as far as I'm concerned and I'm NO Broncos fan at all but I can STILL remember myself jumping up and down screaming RUN RUN RUN !.....YESSSSS !.....TOUCHDOWN !......SATISFYING !
Chargers blowing a 27-0 lead and Ravens fumbling away the go-ahead TD inches from the goal line and having the Bengals run it back 100 yards for the decisive score this past weekend will have to be added to this list.
i was at that Bills/Oilers game and it was f***ing UNBELIEVABLE. half the stadium had left by the 3rd quarter and when they heard the Bills were coming back, many returned & the stadium let them back in. by the end of the game it was completely packed and everyone went totally bonkers. still have the tickets! 🙌
As a buffalo native I can't tell you how many people have told me they were at that game and were one of the few who stuck around to watch the comeback lol. Really cool if you were actually there. The atmosphere must've been insane
@islandmank brother. Look where it was thrown. Look where he caught it. He has to move back to catch it yes but that was because he was even further in front of it. Just because I have to move back 3-4 yards to catch the ball, doesn’t mean I wasn’t still a yard ahead of where it was thrown from. Ball was thrown from behind the 25 yard line and then caught in front of the 25 yard line. Literally watch the clip.
After what Sam Hubbard did last night, I can watch clips of that 2015 game again without getting so upset. I think the momentum is finally turning around for the better in Cincinnati, and having been a Bengals fan my entire life, it's long overdue. We were going nowhere with Dalton and Lewis. But Burrow will eventually bring a championship to Cincy. And after the Buffalo game and how he carried himself and put Hamlin's health and the mental health of the Bills above winning, I earned a lot of respect for Zac Taylor.
That was a lucky fumble. The Bengals barely won by the grace of God! even the commentators surprise me by admitting the Bengals barely escaped! I wouldn't brag!
Yeah bengals look really good and set for the future. As a Vikings fan, it’s frustrating seeing them have a great WR or RB but then a gaping hole elsewhere to ensure they never succeed and ruin a hall of fame career. Adrian Peterson is likely a top 3 back all time and will never get that credit because they never got to the Super Bowl.
@@thetruthisthelight0910 So lucky that they smeared Buffalo in their own stadium. The fumble wasn't lucky. It was caused by players that know how to make things happen when they need to. The Bengals are here to stay.
I cant imagine the heart-crushing feeling these guys must have after they make a mistake that costs their team such a game. To have an entire season of hard work, sacrifice, pain, etc to end because you dropped a ball or because you missed an easy FG. To be down there on that field with tens of thousands of people watching and millions more at home while you make a mistake that will haunt you for the rest of your life, I cant even imagine it.
I get teary when RGIII goes down, I'm from Brazil and that was the first season I really watched NFL up close, Luck, RGIII and Wilson were just so good but RGIII was something else man, so fun to watch.
So glad Chiefs vs Colts 2014. Remember watching that game like it was yesterday. Definitely one of the most depressing defeats as a Chiefs fan as of yet
Rams-Saints in 2000 was insane. The Rams were making a huge comeback and when they were trailing by 3, I thought they were going to win the game. The muffed punt happened and they lost.
I'm a diehard Giants fan, and I know they blew out the Vikings 41-0 in the NFC Conference Championship game that year, but in my heart of hearts I knew they were the weakest 12-4 #1 seed in NFL history. The Rams still had Super Bowl talent, as evidenced by their 1999 and 2001 appearances. I wanted ZERO part of that Rams team in the playoff stretch that year and breathed a "Giant" sigh of relief when the Saints did their dirty work!!!
This video is reminiscent of NFL Films back in the day. Man, how I miss those days and that show. But you, my good man, are doing it great justice! Thank you for this!
Washington losing in 2012-13 wildcard playoffs was one of the most heart-breaking things I've ever experienced in my life. We went from having a possible future HOF Franchise QB with a chance of at least one NFC Championship/Super Bowl Appearance to back to being the laughingstock of the NFL til this day
Yeah and people wonder why Lamar Jackson would “let his team down”. Him getting injured is the difference between a $500 million contract and maybe getting a few $15 million seasons
@@ncaa12cfb92 Yea luck. Having the back up QB throw for 430 yards and 3 tds had nothing to do with it. Neither did the defense going prevent with 10 minutes left in the game.
I'm pleased that they are giving this narrator and his writing staff more work than just the preview of the games. Always funny, poignant, and even in tragedy - a respectful, if not wry, manner of storytelling.
The Bears usually have a good team every 3-4 years. It never fails. The last time they made the playoffs was 2020, so they're on pace for a good season this year 🤣
@@AmirKhan-rh6jj He'd been the holder all year, even before becoming the starting QB. Had performed the job all season, and during that game. No reason to think he couldn't do it in that moment
I really wonder what would have happened. If we had gone to Arizona I think we would have beaten them in the rematch. Cardinals basically limped into the postseason and we had them beat earlier in the regular season with Barr and Smith out. Could have very well ended up in the NFC championship game against Carolina
Best Viking loss ever was the 1998 nfc championship game against Atlanta. They were favorites to win the SB. But a miss by Gary Anderson who didn’t miss a field goal or 3xtra point all season ended their season.
23:07 It's funny that now in retrospect Phil Luckett has been redeemed in this play being confirmed to be a lateral as well as Jerome Bettis confirming he called heads-tails on the coin flip. Let the record reflect the referee was actually CORRECT in both of these calls.
That 2015 Bengals loss should have definitely been on this list. They had their first playoff victory in 30 years in the bag, and it was against the Steelers which made it even harder to swallow. R!P Jeremy Hill
The Pats vs Titans and Jets vs Colts games should’ve made the list. Both games were not only devastating for those losing teams’ fans, but they led to a chain of events that irreparably changed those franchises and transformed the AFC landscape.
@@balamkinich7968 Pats vs Titans (2019 season) was Brady’s last game with New England and the end of the Patriots Dynasty. The Patriots haven’t been the same since then, and new powerhouse AFC teams have risen up, such as the Chiefs and Bills. Jets vs Colts (2010 season) was Manning’s last game with the Colts. Manning would go on to join the Broncos, who would become a dominant AFC team for a few years (and win a Super Bowl). The Colts were still good for a while with Andrew Luck, but they ruined him and he retired early due to all of the injuries he suffered. Colts haven’t had a franchise QB since and were horrible this year. With all that said, I wouldn’t say those games themselves are devastating. Just the repercussions of those games. Both teams (Pats and Colts) have definitely suffered worse playoff losses than those
I love the choice to use almost entirely the losing team's radio broadcasts for this video. They so often can capture and archive the fan's despair in moments like these.
@@JusNoBS420 I grew up watching the Vikings play outdoors at Met Stadium, so I treasured those two seasons at TCF Bank Stadium outdoors. -6 was a little colder than I was hoping for for that playoff game. The upside is that a ticket was only $19!
Have you recovered from the frost bite? Russell Wilson’s greatest play was in that game. Snap over his head he ran back and picked up the ball and three guys bearing down on him. He chucked it to Lockett who ran it to the 5 yard line to set up the winning TD
@@jasonandkathleenbarker6306 Mostly. Yes, I can still see that play. If I'm not mistaken, the Vikings were up 9-0 at the time. As a Vikings fan, what I remember is Captain Munnerlyn coming in with a free shot on Wilson and missing him. Ultimately, the Vikings lost that game because Blair Walsh couldn't hit from 27 yards.
My dad is a lifelong cowboys fan and my neither and I are Hawks fans, going to the game was agonizing for all of us. I didn't want to see my dad's team lose but i didn't want mine to lose either. A game I'll we'll never forget.
I remember that cowboys/Seahawks game. I recall Bill Parcells challenging the ruling of a defensive touchdown, and i was thinking he should let them keep the touchdown. He got it turned into a safety, and seattle scores a touchdown anyway to take the lead..classic cowboys.
I mean, to be fair, I probably would have done the same thing. I would much rather surrender 2 points and trust my defense to get a stop, then surrender 6 points and risk having them tie the game.
I’m impressed that you went all the way back to that 1978 Eagles-Falcons game, which I watched as a kid and vividly remember. I’m an Eagles fan for about 50 years, and devastating is the right word, as that was our first playoff game in the modern playoff era, as you mentioned. And it was worse (for us) than your video even shows. We were up 13-7 and not 14-7 because our train wreck of a kicking game missed a PAT earlier. Then with less than 2 minutes left, the Falcons scored their second TD and make the PAT to go up 14-13. The Eagles offense heroically then drove down deep into Falcons territory with only seconds left, only to miss a short FG that would’ve given them a 16-14 win. The Eagles kicking game was so bad that their actual place kicker wasn’t even trying FG’s, their punter was at that point. Not with much success obviously. That disaster led to the Eagles using a high draft pick to pick Tony Franklin, the first barefoot kicker in the NFL. Two years later they did go to their first Super Bowl.
As a somewhat young chiefs fan. I gotta go with that wild care game roughly 10 years ago. That defense just collapsed and it was the most devastating loss I’ve ever seen from any sport especially the final score 😢
I imagine what has to doubly hurt about that Giants loss to the 49ers was that Shockey was an eligible receiver on that botched FG that turned into a pass and that SF clearly committed DPI but wasn't flagged for it. Mariucci even responded post game when it was brought up to him simply with "Tough".
Incredible how many of these game’s involved the Seahawks. The Romo fumbled FG snap. The missed chip shot FG in the freezing game vs the Vikings. The Beast Quake game vs the Saints. (Which my wife & I were at) The NFC Championship Game comeback vs the Packers. Recovered onside kick, TD and 2 point conversion to force OT. Then like 2-3 plays into overtime a Russell Wilson bomb for a walk off TD.
Also they won the 2012 WC game mentioned for RGIII injury. That was Wilson's first playoff win. Then they blew it the next week vs Atlanta. They had a crazy comeback and were up 28-27 with 31 seconds but the team started celebrating like they won but allowed Matt Ryan to drive the ball down the field and Atlanta won 30-28.
2017-18 Kansas City Chiefs vs Tennessee Titans wild card game was crazy especially that pass that was knocked back to Marcus Mariota with a 21-3 comeback and 22-21 win
Can they not show bad calls on youtube videos? The most painful play of that game was the horrendous forward progress call when Derrick Johnson crushed Mariota causing the most fumbliest fumble that has ever been fumbled.
Thats why I'm so happy to be a chiefs fan. Sometimes when I hate the announcers in the game, I turn on the radio and listen to him, and he never fails to entertain
Your #1 crushed me. I was an Oilers fan from a child and remember this game. When the Oilers left Houston, I stopped watching or caring about the NFL. Even to this day, I don't care, but I do like to hear about the Saints losing. It bothers me that we can get so emotionally wrapped up in something that becomes like an identity and then it's just taken away. It's very unhealthy.
I wasn’t born when Colts left Baltimore but know all about from people who still get emotional talking about ( When Indianapolis comes to Baltimore they won’t write or say “ Colts “ on scoreboard or any local broadcast ; no one will ever get over it) And when Browns came to Baltimore & became Ravens, I remember thinking how horrible it was to City of Cleveland. I’m sorry that happened even though you have Texans now I understand it not being same. Warren Moon is another All - Time Great QB that’s not talked about as much as he should be.
It effected me differently i also remember the very next year 93 - 94 season that joe montana and the chiefs delivered us another crushing defeat in the divisional playoffs and then eventually moving to Tennessee only to go to the super bowl the following year it crushed me as a fan i had two favorite teams growing up the Houston Oilers and anyone who could beat the dallas cowboy's
Nate Kaeding would NOT in fact learn from that jets playoff game, seeing as how he missed 3 FGs against the jets in the playoffs 5 years later. If they do one of these videos for the divisional round, I fully expect that game to be in it, whether it’s on the list or an honorable mention.
That '04 game made me cry as a kid. I just KNEW he was gonna make it and we were gonna win. Then he missed it and made me cry. Marlon Mcree just left me speechless. But that 04 game is when I knew that I was hooked on those damn Chargers. It's been a love/hate ever since. I handle the big losses better now.
My 1st NFL game at 13 years old was that titans/bills game with my mom. What a rush! I remember everyone getting up and leaving, then that last play happened, and that place lit up, popcorn, beer, fries flying everywhere! It definitely was a great first game to go too!
That’s F.🤬ing amazing that was your first game! Hope it didn’t set you up for disappointment when you went to other games that didn’t end in fireworks like that ! But I bet you never leave early no matter what !
Too bad it was an absolute TRAVESTY of reality and FAIR play.....BUT I'm happy you and your Mom had a great experience together....TRULY I am ....Parents and kids having shared times at games are great things !....I hope you've had more of them and hope you have those times with your kids in the future or already have as well !
I was there, too. We were waaay up in sec 319 so we didn’t leave like so many others did. But we could see all these little ants running back into Adelphia after the titans ran it back. My first game was Dallas/Miami Thanksgiving 1993. This was my second game. I was 21. Fun stuff
Gosh, that titans comeback was devastating, cuz kelce got hurt right before halftime. And the offense shut down to the titans cover 2 and shutting down hill.
As a young boy, Danny White of the Cowboys was the coolest guy on the planet. Having him and his team lose three straight NFC Championships really hurt. If he had won one or two he would be considered one of the greats.
My uncle was a huge Cowboy fan and that meant I was too because I never would pull for the teams my mom liked (LOL). Of those three I can't decide if the Catch or the concussion were the harder games to stomach. All I know is that it was a bitter pill to swallow every which way it happened.
@@mongoslade277 You're right! I looked it up. The Niners beat them 45-14 earlier in the year and the Cowboys were 3 point dogs in the Championship. The Boys still should have won, though 😏
I was 7 when the giants lost to the vikings up 9 with 2:31 left in the 1997 wild card game. Was the first time I ever cried at sports. I’ll never forget what my Dad said with tears running down my face “Son, you are now officially a Giants fan, get used to it!”
I feel you, man! I grew up a diehard Giants fan in Somerset County, NJ and was in attendance for this game. I was 14 at the time, but had very faint memories of Super Bowl 25 in that moment. It was literally half my life ago at that point. I had to deal with all the 90s dynasty bandwagon Cowgirls fans in school and everywhere else and was desperate for Giants success at that point. This game tested your mettle! You get older, and you get some broader perspective, and you realize 25 other teams' fanbases would kill for the 4 Super Bowl titles, but the Giants have had their fair share of shitty, devastating moments. Without a doubt!!
@@BigJared2 Hah! i’m from Middlesex county, and I was too young to remember the cowboys dynasty when they were winning. And you’re right! To have beaten the patriots twice in the superbowl, we 100% are fortunate, as it could always be worse as a browns or texans fan haha
@@dts_8247 Man, that 41-0 was the most one sided game ever. I remember being nervous going into it, and the giants defense absolutely suffocated the vikings. Yesterday was pretty sweet too :)
@@jasonisrael8849 yeah but as a Vikings fan I always chop it up as “well it’s the Vikings” lol What do u think the Giants are doing to do with Jones? Give him a contract or not?
That Chiefs honorable mention in 2017. I have to say, no Chiefs fan that I know of forgot the drubbing Henry gave us that day. We wouldn't get to enact our revenge until the AFC Championship game in 2020. Different quarterback. Different era. Different story!
Never winning when it mattered most is what defined Romo's legacy. I think he's an incredible commentator though. It's amazing that he's practically psychic from the booth but couldn't produce in key moments on the field.
22:45 idk what the announcers saw but it didn’t look like the ball went forward but instead a true lateral or even backwards a little. That was a good call by the official.
22:52 Those Bills announcer are so salty I’ve seen the play a million times but never heard their commentary, that was clearly not forward. It was on a line and ever so slightly went backwards, maybe a only a couple inches but it wasn’t forward. Be mad at the special teams guys for not holding contain on their lanes, not the ref who got the call right.
To the average fan, the Detroit Lions 2014 Wild Card loss against the Cowboys might not seem like some crazy, heartbreaking loss. But let me tell you that absolutely deserves to be on this list. Just imagine being a fan of a team who’s won 1 playoff game since the 1960’s. And then you have the most talented roster you’ve ever had. And then on top of that you are playing better than the other team that day, but get absolutely screwed by a pass interference flag that was originally called but then rescinded. Then you have to watch the best defense your team has ever had surrender a game winning drive to Tony Romo and America’s team… Still the worst sports loss of my life 😂
Let us also not forget that on the Cowboys' game-winning drive, Suh was blatantly held on a converted 4th-and-12 play. Every Lions fan felt like the league sent a message that Detroit was not welcome in the playoffs. It's the closest I ever came to renouncing the NFL.
That was the biggest bullshit I had ever seen. The penalty was called, and then literally taken back. That pass interference was the turning point of that game,
Not to mention, Dez Bryant ran onto the field to remind the refs about the briefcase of cash Jerry had waiting for them. Him running into the field was also an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty... that they $urpri$ingly didn't call.
My first full season of watching NFL football was in 1970, after watching only SB III, was my hometown Detroit Lions vs @ the Dallas Cowboys, the Lions being the lone WC team in the NFC, and the Miami Dolphins the lone AFC WC entrant. The Lions starting QB was Greg Landry vs Cowboys' Craig Morton. Both the Lions and Cowboys had great defenses, but the Cowboys were better on offense. Despite that, the Lions' D limited the Cowboys to only a FG, while the Cowboys' D kept the Lions' O from even crossing the 50 yd line!! The Lions finally switched QBs late in the game to the veteran Bill Munson, but too late as time ran out before the offense could make it into the Cowboys' red zone. Game ended by one of the lowest final scores possible w/o either team scoring a TD...5-0 on a FG & safety. Cowboys went on to win the NFC CC vs @ SF 49ers, but lost SB V to the Baltimore Colts. Lions would not sniff the playoffs again until the early 80s, while the Miami Dolphins who also lost to the Oakland Raiders in their WC game, would go on to having what still is the only perfect season in the SB era 2 years later. Epilogue...little did I know back then @ age 13, how gawd-awful the Lions franchise would become over the next half-century, winning their division only twice, and winning only ONE playoff game in 1991. Shit rolls downhill and I blame the only constant during that time...being the now late owner William Clay Ford!! He picked the worst GMs and team presidents, then retained them looong past when it was obvious to everyone BUT him that each one was utterly incompetent. Thankfully his daughter Sheila Ford Hamp is the polar opposite, a shrewd, competitive, and competent franchise owner...I just wish that she would have that WCF memorial removed from their Lions jersey sleeves...he never earned or deserved it.
Lions v. Cowboys was a de-facto Final 8 Divisional Round game, as there was no WC PLAYOFF ROUND before Jan. ‘79. There were three divisional champs vs. One WCARD in each conference from DEC. 1970 until Jan. ‘79..
After what Sam Hubbard did last night, I can watch clips of that 2015 game again without getting so upset. I think the momentum is finally turning around for the better in Cincinnati, and having been a Bengals fan my entire life, it's long overdue. We were going nowhere with Dalton and Lewis. very amazing game
You might add another one after tonight (January 14, 2023). The Los Angeles Chargers just finished blowing a 27-0 lead to lose 30-31 to the Jaguars at Jacksonville. After throwing 4 interceptions in the first half of his postseason debut (three in the first quarter), No. 1 draft pick Trevor Lawrence led his team on a comeback in which he threw 4 TD passes and set the Jags up for a game-winning field goal as time expired. The Chargers only scored 3 points in the second half, and DL Joey Bosa helped the Jaguar offense with two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties.
Bosa had a legitimate gripe too on the holding that wasn't called, not to mention the guy who held appeared to also have jumped early and yet no false start penalty.
@@lomarsweed6604 Even if all that is true, Bosa can't control the officials. He needs to focus on controlling what he can control: his composure. He didn't do that, and it helped his team lose.
Samuels was giving breaks over and over on PI Calls. Ya can hold a player and let go and No call.
Hahahahahh😂😂😂😂😂 noooooo he doesnt have to add that one (please for the love of God im in so much pain)
Yeah, I'd like to nominate that game for the #1 spot.
Cody Parkey’s double doink will live on my mind for the rest of my life
it was tipped!! we shouldn't forget that it was tipped!!
@@feastmode7931 You also gonna forget how many times he hit the post during the regular season, including 4 times in one game against the Lions.

Fun Fact: not only Frank Reich had one of the biggest comebacks in NFL History he also had one of the biggest comebacks in NCAA history when his Maryland team was down 31-0 against Miami in the Orange Bowl at halftime… They came out to the second half and out scored Miami 42-9 in the second half to win 42-40
he was weeks away from being on the wrong side of the 33-0 vikings comback if he didnt get fired from the colts

@@jerryjanik480 I was at that game and left at halftime. I didn't see the complete game until I got it on DVD.

Oh, the Eagles blocked it. As and Eagles fan, I watched that last play over and over again.
Silver lining though, if we won that game Nagy and Mitch may have hung around longer...

I remember watching that Bills-Oilers game as a teenager in complete disbelief. An epic meltdown.
Meltdown? Giant woke up
But now ur a eagles fan🤔😭
Buffalo KC 13 seconds isn't on the list. But yeah That Bills/Oilers game had me in shock. Everyone in my house had left after that 3rd Quarter INT. They were pissed and said they will go do something else rather than watch this terrible team. Remember they lost to Houston just the week prior too. It was nuts.
I'm a phins fan so I was so happy because they could never beat the bills. For a half of football I thought, finally Marinos year. And then......
A curse that is felt to this day
As a Washington fan, the 2012 Wild Card Game will always be burned into my memory. All hope in our franchise's future was gone after that game. The atmosphere at Fedex was dead after RGIII got injured.
Even as an Eagles fan, that was really sad and depressing to watch the slow physical wear and tear on RGIII. I always was rooting for him. Sad it never worked out for him fully.
Wow, thanks for bringing back the PTSD
Yeah I wanted RGIII to win honestly. I'm a fan of that guy. But he kills it in commentary now, always awesome to see a game with him doing color commentary, not like color like his skin but color as in entertaining commentary. Lol that's a joke, remember those?
I still remember that game vividly, hated Washington didn’t take care of him properly
They ruined RG3s career honestly the staff shouldn’t have kept him in with the injuries
To this day, I will never get over that 2015 Bengals playoff game. I don't think I'll ever fully move on from how traumatically awful that was and how many years it set the team back and the disappointment that followed.
Such a cheapshot by the steelers....part of why I'll forever hate the steelers.

That Seahawks Vikings playoff game arguably changed the entire arc of Zimmer's tenure in Minnesota. That team, with its young and scrappy defense, would likely have done serious damage in the next rounds. Soon to follow was Bridgewater's catastrophic injury in camp/pre-season practice.
Respectfully that Carolina team would’ve blown out the Vikings. Hawks were the biggest threat to them in the NFC that year but played the worst first half in playoff history in Carolina. Vikings had a better shot in 2017

The Seahawks would then hire the choke artist, and cost the Seahawks. Would have been great to add him choking for both teams. 🤣🤣🤣

@@jckauffman6004 that was like 10x better than the 05. It's the only game where I was completely speechless, that wasn't my team
Burfect ended ABs career (and what was his life up until that point) and cost them the game. Our offense absolutely sucked. We won that game because of a legendary performance by Boswell.
@@davidthosome623 people so quick to say burfict cost the bengals that game clearly didn’t watch jeremy hill fighting for extra yards only to fumble when all he had to do was go down. If gio hadn’t been speared in the jaw by shaziers helmet it would’ve been him in that spot most likely. Then Joey porter a Steelers coach was standing on the bengals sideline with a bunch of bengals players after the Antonio brown hit which he should’ve gotten flagged for. Instead, Pac-Man Jones got flagged for touching a ref adding another 15 yards to the already 15 yard penalty from burfict. It was literally the perfect storm of things going wrong. It’s hard to blame burfict (as dirty as he was) for that game when he was essentially single handily carrying that bengals defense in that game where both offenses were just miserable
As a Bengals fan, choking in 2015 was so much worse than losing Carson Palmer in 2005. After Palmer's injury, there was still hope moving forward with a franchise QB and one of the better receiving corps in the league. Our 2015 squad was so good but it was definitely a closing window and to lose (of course to the Steelers) in that fashion really felt like the end of something good and it left us in the wilderness for the rest of the decade.
I agree 2015 was worse. Palmer went down so early in the game and after that we pretty well knew our playoff run was over. 2015 required a string of smaller collapses to culminate into a soul-crushing defeat.
@@jerd2947 The way we lost that game felt like a 30 years of bad luck kind of thing
Agreed. Seriously I would have died for that 2015 team. My senior year of highschool. Being a life long bengals fan. The feeling hopeless after the Palmer and Ochocinco era. New life being given by the Dalton and green era. The years of being slept on and years of riding for Dalton. I really felt like finally it would be our year. Never loved a team more than that team. But now I have new life and can say that the spark is finally I would go to war for this team too
@@jason0938 I feel it. '22 is among my favorite teams ever. I'll be proud of these guys however it ends.

That Bills announcer was so salty after the Music City Miracle lol
Right, you could see on the replay it was backwards.
Yeah the angle shown in this video clearly shows it's not a forward pass, like no one can contest it from that angle. I'm sure the ref made some bad calls, but that one was crystal clear on replay.
Hey, you are going to be salty when your team gets cheated.
That hit on Carson was ridiculous, you could never convince me that he wasn't trying to blow out his knee especially the way those two teams used to play each other
Fr did that mitherf Get fined? That was flagrant .
@@celebrity292 It was 2006, you think they fined guys like they do now back then? Hell, he probably got a warning from the refs and a 'good job' from his coaches. Steelers are notorious for being scumbags.
I'm not sure if he did, the way he kept his ankle while he was doing it it was egregious
It looked very intended
I was at that game. Kemp got blocked into Palmer. He was visibly shaken after the hit, calling for medics to come help Carson. No way it was on purpose.
I love how the commentators were criticizing the music city miracle lateral, but that was 100 percent a lateral. a better view showed that it was a backward pass and that it was just the certain angle that made it look like it wasnt. 100 percent a lateral.
I assume those were the Bills announcers. The TV guys said it looked like a forward pass until they saw the replay and saw that it was, in fact, a lateral. ...But the thing is, even the Bills announcers would've had a TV in their booth, right? They were broadcasting on the radio, but they would've had the ability to see TV replays, wouldn't they? Because when you see the replay from that one angle, it is absolutely clear that the pass travels backwards. Not by a lot, but Wycheck releases the ball at about the 26, and Dyson catches it just past the 25. Definitely a lateral.
Shows the errors in our perception. When I saw it in real time, it seemed like an obvious foward pass. Obviously, the replay shows the ball was received behind the line of the throw. Guess I can never trust my eyes again.
This video just reminded me of how great demaryius thomas was back in his prime. Truly one of the great underrated receivers, Rest In Peace

@islandmankit didn’t help that they missed the forward lateral call but ya know, refs.
@islandmank brother. Look where it was thrown. Look where he caught it. He has to move back to catch it yes but that was because he was even further in front of it. Just because I have to move back 3-4 yards to catch the ball, doesn’t mean I wasn’t still a yard ahead of where it was thrown from. Ball was thrown from behind the 25 yard line and then caught in front of the 25 yard line. Literally watch the clip.
@islandmank that’s not at all how it works. The ball was thrown ahead of where it was thrown from. It was a blown call. 🤷♂️

After what Sam Hubbard did last night, I can watch clips of that 2015 game again without getting so upset. I think the momentum is finally turning around for the better in Cincinnati, and having been a Bengals fan my entire life, it's long overdue. We were going nowhere with Dalton and Lewis. But Burrow will eventually bring a championship to Cincy. And after the Buffalo game and how he carried himself and put Hamlin's health and the mental health of the Bills above winning, I earned a lot of respect for Zac Taylor.
That was a lucky fumble. The Bengals barely won by the grace of God! even the commentators surprise me by admitting the Bengals barely escaped! I wouldn't brag!
Yeah bengals look really good and set for the future. As a Vikings fan, it’s frustrating seeing them have a great WR or RB but then a gaping hole elsewhere to ensure they never succeed and ruin a hall of fame career. Adrian Peterson is likely a top 3 back all time and will never get that credit because they never got to the Super Bowl.
And we are going nowhere with Dalton here in New Orleans.

Rams-Saints in 2000 was insane. The Rams were making a huge comeback and when they were trailing by 3, I thought they were going to win the game. The muffed punt happened and they lost.
I'm a diehard Giants fan, and I know they blew out the Vikings 41-0 in the NFC Conference Championship game that year, but in my heart of hearts I knew they were the weakest 12-4 #1 seed in NFL history. The Rams still had Super Bowl talent, as evidenced by their 1999 and 2001 appearances. I wanted ZERO part of that Rams team in the playoff stretch that year and breathed a "Giant" sigh of relief when the Saints did their dirty work!!!
Forgot all about that game until watching this. That is insane they almost won that game down 24 all within the 4th quarter.
If Hakim didn’t drop that punt, there is about a 100% chance the Rams win that game

Manning would go on to join the Broncos, who would become a dominant AFC team for a few years (and win a Super Bowl). The Colts were still good for a while with Andrew Luck, but they ruined him and he retired early due to all of the injuries he suffered. Colts haven’t had a franchise QB since and were horrible this year.

I’m impressed that you went all the way back to that 1978 Eagles-Falcons game, which I watched as a kid and vividly remember. I’m an Eagles fan for about 50 years, and devastating is the right word, as that was our first playoff game in the modern playoff era, as you mentioned. And it was worse (for us) than your video even shows. We were up 13-7 and not 14-7 because our train wreck of a kicking game missed a PAT earlier. Then with less than 2 minutes left, the Falcons scored their second TD and make the PAT to go up 14-13. The Eagles offense heroically then drove down deep into Falcons territory with only seconds left, only to miss a short FG that would’ve given them a 16-14 win. The Eagles kicking game was so bad that their actual place kicker wasn’t even trying FG’s, their punter was at that point. Not with much success obviously. That disaster led to the Eagles using a high draft pick to pick Tony Franklin, the first barefoot kicker in the NFL. Two years later they did go to their first Super Bowl.
Now you’ve got to add the Jaguars vs Chargers. Chargers had a 27-0 lead and blew it.

I imagine what has to doubly hurt about that Giants loss to the 49ers was that Shockey was an eligible receiver on that botched FG that turned into a pass and that SF clearly committed DPI but wasn't flagged for it. Mariucci even responded post game when it was brought up to him simply with "Tough".

Nate Kaeding would NOT in fact learn from that jets playoff game, seeing as how he missed 3 FGs against the jets in the playoffs 5 years later. If they do one of these videos for the divisional round, I fully expect that game to be in it, whether it’s on the list or an honorable mention.
That '04 game made me cry as a kid. I just KNEW he was gonna make it and we were gonna win. Then he missed it and made me cry. Marlon Mcree just left me speechless. But that 04 game is when I knew that I was hooked on those damn Chargers. It's been a love/hate ever since. I handle the big losses better now.
@@AmirKhan-rh6jj let’s hope Herbert and the boys can break that curse!!!
@@ghidrah76 this comment aged well lol
This is a great compilation. Thank you for putting this together.
My 1st NFL game at 13 years old was that titans/bills game with my mom. What a rush! I remember everyone getting up and leaving, then that last play happened, and that place lit up, popcorn, beer, fries flying everywhere! It definitely was a great first game to go too!
That’s F.🤬ing amazing that was your first game!
Hope it didn’t set you up for disappointment when you went to other games that didn’t end in fireworks like that !
But I bet you never leave early no matter what !
Too bad it was an absolute TRAVESTY of reality and FAIR play.....BUT I'm happy you and your Mom had a great experience together....TRULY I am ....Parents and kids having shared times at games are great things !....I hope you've had more of them and hope you have those times with your kids in the future or already have as well !
@@tom-fq5cf 24 years later and Bills fans are still salty. 😏
I was there, too. We were waaay up in sec 319 so we didn’t leave like so many others did.
But we could see all these little ants running back into Adelphia after the titans ran it back.
My first game was Dallas/Miami Thanksgiving 1993. This was my second game. I was 21. Fun stuff
@@mr.shadow_wolf I'm a Dallas fan, from Dallas, and I wanted to see the Oilers/Titans play Dallas in the SB.
That was a forward pass.
Gosh, that titans comeback was devastating, cuz kelce got hurt right before halftime. And the offense shut down to the titans cover 2 and shutting down hill.
Damn! Great channel, great VIDEO!! 👏👏👏👏🤘
Now I have to live with "27-0" jokes for the rest of my pitiful life...
Better than being 28-3 or the Houston Oilers now the titans
Well
As a young boy, Danny White of the Cowboys was the coolest guy on the planet. Having him and his team lose three straight NFC Championships really hurt. If he had won one or two he would be considered one of the greats.
But he didn't,so he isn't
My uncle was a huge Cowboy fan and that meant I was too because I never would pull for the teams my mom liked (LOL). Of those three I can't decide if the Catch or the concussion were the harder games to stomach. All I know is that it was a bitter pill to swallow every which way it happened.
@@ashleighelizabeth5916 And they were the favorite in all three games! 😔
@@chris-tg1hvHow was Dallas favored over the 49ers when the 49ers blew them out & scored like 50 in their regular season matchup that season??
@@mongoslade277 You're right! I looked it up. The Niners beat them 45-14 earlier in the year and the Cowboys were 3 point dogs in the Championship. The Boys still should have won, though 😏
Hearing the Bills announcers crying about Phil Luckett making the right call in the Music City Miracle is hilarious
Now we can add Chargers vs Jacksonville (1/15/2023)
27-0 comeback
I was 7 when the giants lost to the vikings up 9 with 2:31 left in the 1997 wild card game. Was the first time I ever cried at sports. I’ll never forget what my Dad said with tears running down my face “Son, you are now officially a Giants fan, get used to it!”
I feel you, man! I grew up a diehard Giants fan in Somerset County, NJ and was in attendance for this game. I was 14 at the time, but had very faint memories of Super Bowl 25 in that moment. It was literally half my life ago at that point. I had to deal with all the 90s dynasty bandwagon Cowgirls fans in school and everywhere else and was desperate for Giants success at that point. This game tested your mettle!
You get older, and you get some broader perspective, and you realize 25 other teams' fanbases would kill for the 4 Super Bowl titles, but the Giants have had their fair share of shitty, devastating moments. Without a doubt!!
@@BigJared2 Hah! i’m from Middlesex county, and I was too young to remember the cowboys dynasty when they were winning. And you’re right! To have beaten the patriots twice in the superbowl, we 100% are fortunate, as it could always be worse as a browns or texans fan haha
U guys got your revenge against us in that NFC championship game 😂😂 in 2000… 41-0 then along came the Ravens so better u than us 😂😂
@@dts_8247 Man, that 41-0 was the most one sided game ever. I remember being nervous going into it, and the giants defense absolutely suffocated the vikings. Yesterday was pretty sweet too :)
@@jasonisrael8849 yeah but as a Vikings fan I always chop it up as “well it’s the Vikings” lol What do u think the Giants are doing to do with Jones? Give him a contract or not?
22:57 That is NOT an illegal forward pass. I'm very glad those announcers are unknowns and without work.
That Chiefs honorable mention in 2017. I have to say, no Chiefs fan that I know of forgot the drubbing Henry gave us that day. We wouldn't get to enact our revenge until the AFC Championship game in 2020. Different quarterback. Different era. Different story!
it's extremely unfair how the missed snap defined romo's player legacy but i still get so much joy from the cowboys loss
Why was Romo holding in the first place?
@@jgrj52 no one understood the importance of a holder yet
He was the backup qb to start the year so he was on holding duties and he continued when he became a starter.
Romo choked
Never winning when it mattered most is what defined Romo's legacy. I think he's an incredible commentator though. It's amazing that he's practically psychic from the booth but couldn't produce in key moments on the field.
The hit on Carson Palmer by the Steelers was a dirty hit for sure.
22:45 idk what the announcers saw but it didn’t look like the ball went forward but instead a true lateral or even backwards a little. That was a good call by the official.
The Tennessee Miracle. R.I.P., Steve McNair
@@pennyparham4123RIP Frank Wycheck... sigh
What!? I don't know what you saw. That was clearly a forward pass.
, they reviewed it, multiple times and they decided for Tennessee and that will forever be part of the Titans history
@@jessejoseph7372 It left Wycheck's hands at the 25 1/2 yard line and was caught by Dyson at the 25 1/4 yard, which is BACKWARDS, therefore a LATERAL.
The double doink always makes me want to scream.
As a lifelong Seahawk fan, it is bittersweet seeing so many Seahawks highlights and lowlights.
Gonna need to append this video to add the Chargers 27-0 blown lead against the Jags!
The thing about 6:39 is that it wasn’t even CLOSE. It’s like he was going out of his way to miss it. Baffling.
i recall seeing a close up of the snap and the laces were the wrong way, had to have an effect on the kick, especially in such cold temperature.
I can still remember coming back from camping and watching such an awful kick on our small TV screen!
The Bear mascot dying at the end of the double doink is just the funniest damn thing ever....
That’s literally every one of us fans for the last 40 years.
Antonio Brown was never the same after that hit.
Man 2000-2004 was madness
There is madness every year, that's what makes NFL playoffs great.
22:52 Those Bills announcer are so salty I’ve seen the play a million times but never heard their commentary, that was clearly not forward. It was on a line and ever so slightly went backwards, maybe a only a couple inches but it wasn’t forward. Be mad at the special teams guys for not holding contain on their lanes, not the ref who got the call right.
About to be easily in the top 10: Chargers blowing a 27 point lead against the Jags today.
I was at the casino and had the jags +2.5. When it was 27-0 I figured I was going to lose that bet
To the average fan, the Detroit Lions 2014 Wild Card loss against the Cowboys might not seem like some crazy, heartbreaking loss. But let me tell you that absolutely deserves to be on this list. Just imagine being a fan of a team who’s won 1 playoff game since the 1960’s. And then you have the most talented roster you’ve ever had. And then on top of that you are playing better than the other team that day, but get absolutely screwed by a pass interference flag that was originally called but then rescinded. Then you have to watch the best defense your team has ever had surrender a game winning drive to Tony Romo and America’s team… Still the worst sports loss of my life 😂
Let us also not forget that on the Cowboys' game-winning drive, Suh was blatantly held on a converted 4th-and-12 play. Every Lions fan felt like the league sent a message that Detroit was not welcome in the playoffs. It's the closest I ever came to renouncing the NFL.
That was the biggest bullshit I had ever seen. The penalty was called, and then literally taken back. That pass interference was the turning point of that game,
Not to mention, Dez Bryant ran onto the field to remind the refs about the briefcase of cash Jerry had waiting for them. Him running into the field was also an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty... that they $urpri$ingly didn't call.
I hope you can get your win tomorrow buddy go lions
I remember when #3 happened. The news headlines in Kansas City the next day read "HORSESH!T" on the front page. Warmed my heart as a Colts fan. 😆
That Romo fumble will always be insane
Watching this video reminds me how heartbreaking my life has been. Almost all of these games I was rooting for the losing team 😢
My first full season of watching NFL football was in 1970, after watching only SB III, was my hometown Detroit Lions vs @ the Dallas Cowboys, the Lions being the lone WC team in the NFC, and the Miami Dolphins the lone AFC WC entrant. The Lions starting QB was Greg Landry vs Cowboys' Craig Morton. Both the Lions and Cowboys had great defenses, but the Cowboys were better on offense. Despite that, the Lions' D limited the Cowboys to only a FG, while the Cowboys' D kept the Lions' O from even crossing the 50 yd line!! The Lions finally switched QBs late in the game to the veteran Bill Munson, but too late as time ran out before the offense could make it into the Cowboys' red zone. Game ended by one of the lowest final scores possible w/o either team scoring a TD...5-0 on a FG & safety. Cowboys went on to win the NFC CC vs @ SF 49ers, but lost SB V to the Baltimore Colts. Lions would not sniff the playoffs again until the early 80s, while the Miami Dolphins who also lost to the Oakland Raiders in their WC game, would go on to having what still is the only perfect season in the SB era 2 years later.
Epilogue...little did I know back then @ age 13, how gawd-awful the Lions franchise would become over the next half-century, winning their division only twice, and winning only ONE playoff game in 1991. Shit rolls downhill and I blame the only constant during that time...being the now late owner William Clay Ford!! He picked the worst GMs and team presidents, then retained them looong past when it was obvious to everyone BUT him that each one was utterly incompetent. Thankfully his daughter Sheila Ford Hamp is the polar opposite, a shrewd, competitive, and competent franchise owner...I just wish that she would have that WCF memorial removed from their Lions jersey sleeves...he never earned or deserved it.
Lions v. Cowboys was a de-facto Final 8 Divisional Round game, as there was no WC PLAYOFF ROUND before Jan. ‘79.
There were three divisional champs vs. One WCARD in each conference from DEC. 1970 until Jan. ‘79..
Did he move them there from Portsmouth, Ohio?
Packers/Cardinals from 2009 not even being an honorable mention is a crime
Oh man I forgot about that one. Rodgers with the ill-timed Messi impression
U spot on 🎯
Welp time to remake and add the chargers 💀😂
The double doink was awesome 😂😂😂
It's also crazy that both the niners and Steelers historic comeback happened on the same weekend
Same day!
That Marshawn Lynch shove of #22 was just brutal. Get out of the way I have a touchdown to score.
add Cowboys vs Packers (2024 game) to this
After what Sam Hubbard did last night, I can watch clips of that 2015 game again without getting so upset. I think the momentum is finally turning around for the better in Cincinnati, and having been a Bengals fan my entire life, it's long overdue. We were going nowhere with Dalton and Lewis. very amazing game
Honestly you Bengals fans deserve to see a Superbowl title. If my Niners don't make it I'll be pulling for Cincinnati
How about now?
