Another big time choke is in the AFC playoff game when the (then) Oilers were up 35-3 at halftime over the Bills and lost 41-38 in OT. Frank Reich was the qb for Buffalo
Yeah and Warren Moon was the QB for Houston, one of the top offenses in the NFL and he had 4 passing TD's at halftime. I'm a huge Bills fan and will never forget watching that game as a kid. It gave Reich the greatest comeback ever (at the time) in College and NFL history. Always felt like the Music City Miracle (when Houston team turned into Tennessee Titans) in '99 was pay-back for that game. Incredibly, that was the last Playoff game the Bills have played in (in 1999) and they now have the longest Playoff drought in the NFL since then.
Also, a little known fact: After that game, Frank Reich had the biggest comeback in college history in the Orange Bowl down 31-0 at halftime to Miami (which Marv Levy reminded Reich of at half-time when the Bills were down 35-3) and the NFL. Now that is incredible, to have the biggest comeback in college history and NFL and both in the biggest game of his career.
Every time I see Romo fumble that ball on the kick, one of the only plays that make him known as a choke artist, I wonder how differently everyone would've saw him if he got into the endzone
Yeah he really did come close to scoring. As I watched the play this time, I thought about what a tough tackle that is for Jordan Babineau who really hustled his butt off to come around and catch Romo from behind with a shoestring tackle right before Romo could reach the goal line. He should have been a hero for making that play.
G Money The patriots will forever own that, 18-1, choked away the perfect season in the biggest game in the history of sports and the 2nd most watched televised event in history!!!
Chris Jordan how can someone say they "choked" when it was a 3 point game? Its football, upsets happen... Just because they won every game before doesn't make the next one a guarantee. Choking is when ur up by 25 points in the 3rd quarter and let up 31 unanswered points.
love how your defending this!!!! like choking away the perfect season and the title of greatest team ever in the biggest gave ever........was just an upset lmao!!!!!!! keep going im enjoying it
EdmacZ Pete Carroll was thinking about the clock, when he chose to call a pass, instead of a run. Plus. Basically every Pats player thought run, but luckily Malcolm Butler read the play. So you can think whatever the fuck you want, but don't whine because 24 didn't get the ball. They're still an amazing team.
@@jackiechan6460 Devonta Freeman made ZERO effort to block Dont'a Hightower before he strip-sacked Matt Ryan which led to the first of the two 8-point TDs. That's a choke.
Bullshit almost all of them are sjokz the 49ers no name guy fumbling that was a good play by the Giants defense and the Patriots player knocking the ball out of the Ravens hands that was a great play other than that what I've seen about three-quarters of the way through all the rest are chokes not missed opportunities is political correctness now becoming part of football you pathetic pussy
The 2013 Lions losing the division despite Rodgers being hurt and beating the Bears twice. Losing to a hapless Giants team after both GB and Chicago lost to me was the most frustrating sports moment in my life
Falcons choking in the superbowl was the epitome of choking, one of the biggest if not THE biggest choke in sports history! Man it must have sucked to be a Falcons fan that day, yikes!
How is the colts chiefs playoff game from 2013 not in here?? That is close to the biggest choke job of all time in any sport. 28 down in the third and you lose?? Huge omission.
I'm surprised that doesn't get mentioned that much. You hear 28-3, never hear much about 38-10. I was watching that game too and it even hurt me to watch it.
The ones with the kickers are always painful. The guy has one job, yet enormous pressure any time he has to come out there to do that 1 play. Least appreciated role, yet one of the most pivotal.
Almost everyone forgets Samuel's whiff. Next play is the Tyree catch. If Samuel comes up with the INT the Patriots pull of the perfect season. I bet that still haunts him today.
TheIceman 2220 What are you talking about? If Samuel comes up with the interception, that's it. The Tyree catch doesn't happen and the Giants most likely don't get into the end zone. So yes, Asonte Samuel ruined the perfect season. And I don't even like the Patriots.
What about the guy that almost sacked Manning on the Tyree play? He had Manning by the jersey all he had to do was yank the lucky fucker backwards onto his ass and we go 19-0
15:23 CLEARLY, if Edwards had caught this ball it would have been ruled incomplete, because his foot was WAY out of bounds! I have no idea how some of these are considered "choke jobs"!
Majority are kickers. Do me a favor.... Sit for 20-30 minutes straight. Then kick a ball 18 yards. That's the action you got and it's 1 point. Do this routine for 2 1/2 hours. Then, slam a Red Bull. SLAM IT!!! Feel you're heart racing? SLAM ANOTHER! That's simulating the pressure you'd be under as a kicker. Now get ready for the kick. It's 51 yards away and needs to be high enough and accurate enough to go thru a goal-post from that distance. Remember.... You mess this up, it could be your career too. Make it, you don't get recognition. Did you make it? Great! But the opposing coach called timeout to fuck with you. Now stand out there for another 30 seconds, then another 15 because the defense needs to "have time to prepare". Remember, don't screw this up! It's your career's death if you do. You'll be remember as "the guy that choked". That happens, the team WILL drop you. There's about 90 other kickers next season that all want to do what you're doing; and there's only 32 positions open. There's the whistle! NOW you can get ready to kick. Don't fuck this up. Better make this kick.... GO!
(1) Nobody can knock a kicker for missing a 51 yard FG. It's the kickers who miss XPs and chip shot FGs that earn the criticism. (2) Nobody likes a kicker apologist.
The funny thing is about the Cowboys-Saints game at 14:05 is that it was a week after the Redskins-Saints game at 18:48. Same exact situation, and both kickers Nick Folk and Shaun Suisham choked. Right after both games both kickers were fired and who did the Cowboys sign to replace Nick Folk? Shaun Suisham.
Cam it's the biggest game of your life, and you decide to save yourself? Ah take it easy, coach Pete decided his best running needed a rest at a crucial moment.
Just more and more of how fixed and rigged sports r.... And im a broncos fan. Love watching sports for entertainment purposes but I know I'm not watching legit sports being played... Cause I play sports and watching these "pros" choke crucial moments away is and absolute joke... Even kids playing madden know u hand the ball to Lynch.
You need the Minneapolis Miracle play in here - the replay with the view from behind the defense. The NO DB totally choked on the play. To me, it looks like he got there too early so he simultaneously tried hitting and not hitting Diggs.
Super Bowl XLIX, Cris Collinsworth "borderline unstoppable in this part of the field", that was far from true. In 2014, Marshawn Lynch was 1 for 5 from the 1-yard line in terms of scoring touchdowns. The previous year, in the 2013 NFC Championship Game, that war the Seahawks had with the 49ers, Lynch was not only stopped from the 1-yard line, he fumbled. So, Lynch, to sum up, was anything but unstoppable from the 1. Also that year, that interception was THE ONLY pass that was intercepted the entire season when the line of scrimmage was the 1.
I'm honestly surprised that the Dec 19th 2010 Miracle at the Meadowlands wasn't on this list. Giant's were leading 31-10 in the 4th with over 8 minutes left in the game and they allowed the Eagles to come all the way back with 12 seconds left and allowed DeSan Jackson a center line punt were he scored the winning touchdown. Won of the greatest comebacks in NFL history and one of the biggest chokes in NFL history in my opinion.
+ Growing up in Minnesota and watching the Vikings was fun UNTIL the super bowl. Four trips and none of them were even close. They scored only 34 points over the 4 games. Bud Grant went brain dead or became too cautious for fear of losing and did anyway.
pillowbugg I'm thinking mainly of the games that came down to the wire '87, '98, '09 & '15. Now the NYG game, we just got our asses handed to us. There is no single play or player to blame. As I watched that game, I felt like I wanted to light a match under their asses. They played with zero passion or energy. I think they just wanted to lose so they could go home for the off season.
Even though the kicking game is stronger than it has ever been with guys routinely making 55-60 yarders these days, they are also less clutch than ever before. I have never seen as many short missed field goals in the clutch as I have over the past few seasons.
How about the game where McNabb and his Eagles were at their own 7 yard line, 4th and 26 and the Packers gave them a first down and later lost the game. Packers may be from Title Town but some of the biggest chokes come from them as well.
I still cant believe the super bowl last year lol the pats being down by 25 or whatever and coming back in just over a quarter. Truly one of the best games I ever seen !
13:05 that entire game was a choke. Favre two INTs. Adrian Peterson fumbled twice (luckily recovered by Viking). When Reggie Bush muffed a punt return and the Vikings take over with 5 yards to go for a TD, Favre and Peterson have a botched handoff. Berrian fumbled. Percy Harvin fumbled. 12 men on the huddle just before the Favre INT which put them out of FG range.
What made the Falcons' collapse especially bad was when the team owner came down to the field a wee bit prematurely to celebrate with the team. I imagine that got a bit awkward when Brady dialed in and turned it around.
corner-back drops should not be considered chokes. corner-backs are not as talented at catching as wide-receivers are and their main purpose is preventing wide-receivers from catching the passes and not letting the wide-receivers get to much yardage if the wide-receiver does catch the pass.
you're right. but I still wouldn't call it a choke. it was a high and contesting pass. even wide-receivers have trouble with passes like that. who ever was guarding Tyree is one who choked. how do you let someone catch a high and contesting pass with one hand and their helmet with full defensive coverage of them? that's the play that should have been in this video.
That dallas amsamble with miami is always a classic. Dont forget romo trying to get the goal line td. Poor dallas. Im a cardinals fan so i cant talk. Man the nfl what an extraordinary leauge.
I knew, before I even clicked on the vid, that my beloved Falcs would be number 1. It stings a bit to admit it but that was the biggest choke job in the history of sports.
Seattle vs. Green Bay, Matthews coming down with an onside kick that bounced off Bostick ended with Wilson finally hitting Kearse for six (Green Bay picked off four of the other five attempts); a pass play lets Malcolm Butler pick off Wilson at the end of the Super Bowl, and a subsequent encroachment penalty on Michael Bennett gave New England room to burn the remaining seconds. New Orleans vs. Jacksonville, out-of-town scores did New Orleans in without the missed game-tying field goal. Buffalo vs. the Giants, Norwood missing wide right was the closest Buffalo came to winning the Super Bowl in four straight years of playing in it against NFC East teams.
Sam Johnson A 47 yard fg on grass with that pressure is no choke. As a Giant fan, I remember reading the papers that week where Parcells said that we have big advantage on special teams as both of our kickers are vets with big game experience. Bill was RIGHT!!
Honorable mention to the Giants for blowing a huge 4th quarter lead (31-14) to the Eagles and sealing the deal by kicking to DeSean Jackson as time expires, who runs the punt back for a TD. Result = 38-31 Eagles win.
That Asante Samuel missed interception has to be the biggest choke of all time. You had a chance to clinch the second perfect season of all time with an easy pick and you blow it
It was a tough catch with the sideline to worry about. But the ball still **hit both his hands** and doinked off like a marble. His arms weren't fully extended. That's dropping 19-0
Cam Newton's Superbowl performance is one of the biggest chokes in NFL history. There was also the game about 20 years ago when the San Diego Charger's running back fumbled twice on consecutive carries to allow the opponent to come back and win.
I was in the stands in Foxboro when Lee Evans' bum ass dropped the ball in the end zone and then Cundiff whiffed the kick. That was a long drive back to Baltimore.
a true fan is there through thick and thin. hold your head high that you remain loyal to your team. examples: there used to be niners fans (outta nowhere), and there used to be NO packer fans or patriots fans. those are three examples of huge bandwagoners.....
I thought he was going to especially after he showed the play in the NFC championship game right before it. Especially with the announcer then saying "And the winner will face Denver or Cleveland.
Eric there has always been a ton of Patriots fans but they just weren't noticed cause we sucked ass until Belicheck and Brady came along. Trust me, living in NE I can tell you that we have a loyal fan base that doesn't really care if we suck, they just love Boston sports. To be fair I've only been alive when we've been good so when we inevitably suck again I guess we'll see the true fans. But every team has a ton of loyal fans that aren't noticed because their team doesn't have the spotlight, then when they do they'll be called bandwagons. It's a cycle.
Marlon McCree's fumbled interception in the 2006 AFC Divisional game against the Pats, Nate Kaeding's three missed field goals in the 2011 AFC Divisional game against the Jets, and Philip Rivers' week 8 fumble against the Chiefs and the resulting loss that would keep the Chargers out of the playoffs should be honorable mentions.
One common trend on almost all of the missed kicks is that the announcer says something like "this guy hasn't missed in so many games/years, etc." I always see the miss coming when the announcer says it.
Choking in the playoffs is a Minnesota Viking tradition! I believe each player has that specifically written in their contract...especially the NFC championship game!
I remember a game from back in the late '80s when the Redskins played the Packers in Milwaukee. The Redskins led by three in the closing seconds, when Packer kicker Max Zendejas missed a 24-yard FG that would've sent the game into overtime. Zendejas was cut the next day.
There's also the MNF game from the 80's where the Redskins lost 48-47 to the Pack. Mark Moseley missed a FG on the final play that would have won the game 50-48.
You forgot the 2nd Miracle at the Meadowlands, when the punter should’ve kicked out of bounds, but kicked it to Deshaun Jackson. Tom Coughlin’s reaction was hilarious.
In the first clip, the Rams made such a huge comeback in the game. They were down just three points when the Saints punted the ball and Az-Zahir Hakim muffed the punt.
I realize that it was just a regular season game and that the Cowboys eventually won that year's Super Bowl... not trying to take anything away from that. BUT! Speaking as a lifelong Eagles fan, I gotta say there's still a little bit of joy in (A) hearing "The Cowboys will win!" right before they lose, (B) seeing Aikman and Irvin celebrating but then going "wait WTF?", (C) seeing Jerrah go full triumph only to have it pulled away from him, and (D) the fact that it was Doug Pederson holding the snap. But all that aside, let's not be so hard on Mr. Lett. If I recall correctly, his 1993 team won the Bowl, and his fuckup in the previous Bowl didn't cost his team a ring either. I'll be the first to admit: when I find myself in situations of extreme pressure, I tend to bork everything up. Leon Lett is the talented but fragile antihero who -- on some level -- we all are; and we all aspire to be: those who must live down their colossal missteps, those who must mine the gems of fun and mockery from the dirt of their small history, those for whom the consequence of failure is the soft success that rises solely from the absence of failure, those who nevertheless persist as champions despite their brief and hilarious moments of abject incompetence. Humans. Take care, Leon. You are us and we are you. From one football fan to another.
6:15 I love the fact that according to some, the reason why the Giants didn't kneel was the thought that it was 'wimpy' to do it. Hell, in THAT case _I_ will kneel out in Madden, even if it drops the team under a rushing goal, because there's no point in chancing it.
15:22 -- If you watch his feet you can see that he clearly had one foot out of bounds... the catch wouldn't have counted, even if he had hauled it in. Foot goes out of bounds at 15:23
Another big time choke is in the AFC playoff game when the (then) Oilers were up 35-3 at halftime over the Bills and lost 41-38 in OT. Frank Reich was the qb for Buffalo
Yeah they should have shown that game.
Yeah and Warren Moon was the QB for Houston, one of the top offenses in the NFL and he had 4 passing TD's at halftime. I'm a huge Bills fan and will never forget watching that game as a kid. It gave Reich the greatest comeback ever (at the time) in College and NFL history. Always felt like the Music City Miracle (when Houston team turned into Tennessee Titans) in '99 was pay-back for that game. Incredibly, that was the last Playoff game the Bills have played in (in 1999) and they now have the longest Playoff drought in the NFL since then.
Marc White I'm still in therapy over this.
Also, a little known fact: After that game, Frank Reich had the biggest comeback in college history in the Orange Bowl down 31-0 at halftime to Miami (which Marv Levy reminded Reich of at half-time when the Bills were down 35-3) and the NFL. Now that is incredible, to have the biggest comeback in college history and NFL and both in the biggest game of his career.

Being a Seahawks fan seeing these titles always haunts me

The Seattle Seahawks could've been a dynasty, but they chose to pass.

It would be if you won them back to back which they were on course to do. That's my opinion however.
Honestly they still are a dynasty. And this is coming from a Cardinal fan that hates the seahawks

Braden Clark they had the lead already
Not a great throw, but these are the moments where champions step up. And Welker didn't
The first down it would have gained them would have essentially ended the game as the Pats could have run the clock out..
That was a bad throw by Brady. He couldn't hit Welker in stride and threw back shoulder for no reason.
Almost everyone forgets Samuel's whiff. Next play is the Tyree catch. If Samuel comes up with the INT the Patriots pull of the perfect season. I bet that still haunts him today.

Dude i don't even believe that. It looks like a meme lol. I'm sorry you had to go through that
I'm honestly surprised that the Dec 19th 2010 Miracle at the Meadowlands wasn't on this list. Giant's were leading 31-10 in the 4th with over 8 minutes left in the game and they allowed the Eagles to come all the way back with 12 seconds left and allowed DeSan Jackson a center line punt were he scored the winning touchdown. Won of the greatest comebacks in NFL history and one of the biggest chokes in NFL history in my opinion.
Nothing can beat the Oilers imploding after a 35-3 lead over the Bills
I know as a Vikings fan that they could fill this video full of clips.
Blair Walsh still owes me $14.65 for the plaster I bought for that hole he made me put in my wall.
Walsh is Einhorn, Einhorn is Walsh! Oh my god, I'm about to throw up.
+ Growing up in Minnesota and watching the Vikings was fun UNTIL the super bowl. Four trips and none of them were even close. They scored only 34 points over the 4 games. Bud Grant went brain dead or became too cautious for fear of losing and did anyway.
Don't forget ALL those NFC championship games they lost...49-0 v Giants...just one example.
pillowbugg I'm thinking mainly of the games that came down to the wire '87, '98, '09 & '15. Now the NYG game, we just got our asses handed to us. There is no single play or player to blame. As I watched that game, I felt like I wanted to light a match under their asses. They played with zero passion or energy. I think they just wanted to lose so they could go home for the off season.
Even though the kicking game is stronger than it has ever been with guys routinely making 55-60 yarders these days, they are also less clutch than ever before. I have never seen as many short missed field goals in the clutch as I have over the past few seasons.
The Samuel miss is so brutal all things considered. So crazy how close NFL history can be to being very different.
How about the game where McNabb and his Eagles were at their own 7 yard line, 4th and 26 and the Packers gave them a first down and later lost the game. Packers may be from Title Town but some of the biggest chokes come from them as well.
I will never get tired of watching the Pats come back in SB 51..!!!
I still cant believe the super bowl last year lol the pats being down by 25 or whatever and coming back in just over a quarter. Truly one of the best games I ever seen !
13:05 that entire game was a choke. Favre two INTs. Adrian Peterson fumbled twice (luckily recovered by Viking). When Reggie Bush muffed a punt return and the Vikings take over with 5 yards to go for a TD, Favre and Peterson have a botched handoff. Berrian fumbled. Percy Harvin fumbled. 12 men on the huddle just before the Favre INT which put them out of FG range.
My god, the Vikings loss to the Falcons still hurts, and I was only 6 when that happened.
What made the Falcons' collapse especially bad was when the team owner came down to the field a wee bit prematurely to celebrate with the team. I imagine that got a bit awkward when Brady dialed in and turned it around.
That Asante Samuel dropped pick still haunts me to this day lmao
corner-back drops should not be considered chokes. corner-backs are not as talented at catching as wide-receivers are and their main purpose is preventing wide-receivers from catching the passes and not letting the wide-receivers get to much yardage if the wide-receiver does catch the pass.
that drop was in Super Bowl XLVI. not Super Bowl XLII
you're right. but I still wouldn't call it a choke. it was a high and contesting pass. even wide-receivers have trouble with passes like that. who ever was guarding Tyree is one who choked.
how do you let someone catch a high and contesting pass with one hand and their helmet with full defensive coverage of them? that's the play that should have been in this video.
well Samuel's reaction pretty much says it all.
Well assaunte Samuels entire game was based on getting picks sooo
Tony Hutchins Still not a choke, the pass was in a spot he couldn't catch it
I'm surprised the chargers didn't make up over half this list.
I'm surprised the Browns didn't make all of this list.
Facts
Every Bengals playoff game since 1990 should be in here.
Tim Peters because their chokes are more of season chokes not really moment chokes
Or the Vikings. They choke every playoff game they play.
That dallas amsamble with miami is always a classic. Dont forget romo trying to get the goal line td. Poor dallas. Im a cardinals fan so i cant talk. Man the nfl what an extraordinary leauge.
I knew, before I even clicked on the vid, that my beloved Falcs would be number 1. It stings a bit to admit it but that was the biggest choke job in the history of sports.
“History of sports” no just no.
Vikings fans should be thanking the Falcons for taking some of the choking pressure off of them...
3:45 laces out man, laces out.
Good point, but he probably didn't have time, given the bad snap.
Ok Jim lol
Agreed, but he had to field a ground ball.
I am pretty sure the choker on that play is the snapper.
Don’t let this video distract you from the fact that Ray Finkle missed a 26 yd field goal costing the Miami Dolphins the game.
Good one Jim
Seattle vs. Green Bay, Matthews coming down with an onside kick that bounced off Bostick ended with Wilson finally hitting Kearse for six (Green Bay picked off four of the other five attempts); a pass play lets Malcolm Butler pick off Wilson at the end of the Super Bowl, and a subsequent encroachment penalty on Michael Bennett gave New England room to burn the remaining seconds.
New Orleans vs. Jacksonville, out-of-town scores did New Orleans in without the missed game-tying field goal.
Buffalo vs. the Giants, Norwood missing wide right was the closest Buffalo came to winning the Super Bowl in four straight years of playing in it against NFC East teams.
Wouldn't a "choke" imply that a team was heavily favored And lost... Or that a team was really far ahead of another and then lost the game?
1:51 As a Giants fan I could watch this highlight on a loop for the rest of my life
It’s going to be a while before the giants give you something to celebrate again so cherish it
22:00 when someone stands in front of the tv while you’re playing madden
That poor Bills kicker was never the same after blowing what could of been the Bills only SB
Sam Johnson A 47 yard fg on grass with that pressure is no choke. As a Giant fan, I remember reading the papers that week where Parcells said that we have big advantage on special teams as both of our kickers are vets with big game experience. Bill was RIGHT!!
"Laces out Dan!!"
Understandable
Scott Norwood, great kicker and very capable of making that kick probably 9/10 times in his prime, just didn't go his way that time.
4 in a row
Honorable mention to the Giants for blowing a huge 4th quarter lead (31-14) to the Eagles and sealing the deal by kicking to DeSean Jackson as time expires, who runs the punt back for a TD. Result = 38-31 Eagles win.
That Asante Samuel missed interception has to be the biggest choke of all time. You had a chance to clinch the second perfect season of all time with an easy pick and you blow it
The title itself makes me crack up. Lmao
Who else just skipped to the end expecting the Falcons-Patriots SB
Is it just me or the was that ball a little high for Samuel to intercept?
Yup! Plus there was no guarantee that would've gotten both feet down in bounds
It was a tough catch with the sideline to worry about. But the ball still **hit both his hands** and doinked off like a marble. His arms weren't fully extended. That's dropping 19-0
Tazer183 yep if you can touch it you can catch it.
That wasn't a choke
No, that isnt an excuse. In tge biggest game of the year, hes gotta make that play
Cam Newton's Superbowl performance is one of the biggest chokes in NFL history. There was also the game about 20 years ago when the San Diego Charger's running back fumbled twice on consecutive carries to allow the opponent to come back and win.
I will never forget the day romo fumbled on the goal line. I had never seen my dad so mad in my life. lol
I was in the stands in Foxboro when Lee Evans' bum ass dropped the ball in the end zone and then Cundiff whiffed the kick. That was a long drive back to Baltimore.
Thank God we won the year after, but that still felt horrible in the moment. Just an absolutely soul-crushing way to lose the game.
Lee Evans didn't drop it, the defender knocked it out.
Now that was a choke job... I remember that game. Yet another undeserved Super Bowl appearance for the Patriots. One of many...
@@ThorHC11 That's a good point... however, the missed FG still makes it a choke job by the Ravens, who totally dominated that game.
@@ThorHC11 Evans should have protected the ball better.
Saved the best for last. Of course.
BigJ45100 hi
How is calling someone gay a well thought out or even good insult?
Achillesnic .
Cartoon Planes L
it's ok cartoon, we know, you where dropped on your head, a lot, as a child!
You should add the KC choke job from this year's Wild Card game. Up 21-3 at halftime and they let Tennessee come from the back and win it. 😐
The interception by Brett Favre in the NFC championship game against the Saints was not a choke, it was just Favre being Favre.
That one Stevie Johnson drop ended up costing me that week in Fantasy Football. Damnit Bills.
Always warms my heart whenever I watch the Cowboys field goals flub / failed Romo endzone scramble. 🤣
Where's Kyle Williams?? Literally fumbled a Super Bowl away.
Twice
Hehehehehehheheheheh
Subscriber and a Browns fan. Really hoping you didn't put the Ernest Byner fumble in here. I mean it definitely belongs, I just don't wanna watch it.
a true fan is there through thick and thin. hold your head high that you remain loyal to your team.
examples: there used to be niners fans (outta nowhere), and there used to be NO packer fans or patriots fans.
those are three examples of huge bandwagoners.....
I thought he was going to especially after he showed the play in the NFC championship game right before it. Especially with the announcer then saying "And the winner will face Denver or Cleveland.
Eric there has always been a ton of Patriots fans but they just weren't noticed cause we sucked ass until Belicheck and Brady came along. Trust me, living in NE I can tell you that we have a loyal fan base that doesn't really care if we suck, they just love Boston sports. To be fair I've only been alive when we've been good so when we inevitably suck again I guess we'll see the true fans. But every team has a ton of loyal fans that aren't noticed because their team doesn't have the spotlight, then when they do they'll be called bandwagons. It's a cycle.
Ur team is a joke
Marlon McCree's fumbled interception in the 2006 AFC Divisional game against the Pats, Nate Kaeding's three missed field goals in the 2011 AFC Divisional game against the Jets, and Philip Rivers' week 8 fumble against the Chiefs and the resulting loss that would keep the Chargers out of the playoffs should be honorable mentions.
One common trend on almost all of the missed kicks is that the announcer says something like "this guy hasn't missed in so many games/years, etc." I always see the miss coming when the announcer says it.
This video is missing a very huge and recent choke.
Colin Kaepernick's career.
I know. If he shuts the hell up he wouldnt be a free agent
You the real MVP bruh. XD
Still had a career a lot of QBs would be glad to have and made a lot of money
What's with the Vikings and choking in the playoffs?
They don't go much, so it's easier to choke in all 4 of your playoff appearances rather than being a franchise and going more often
The Vikings could fill this video up with chokes.
Derek Belden What's with the Vikings and shitty field goal kickers?
Choking in the playoffs is a Minnesota Viking tradition! I believe each player has that specifically written in their contract...especially the NFC championship game!
Avove Average StormTrooper Gary Anderson & Blair Walsh had great seasons and ended on a choke.
Not sure the uploader knows what he word "choke" means.
I remember a game from back in the late '80s when the Redskins played the Packers in Milwaukee. The Redskins led by three in the closing seconds, when Packer kicker Max Zendejas missed a 24-yard FG that would've sent the game into overtime. Zendejas was cut the next day.
There's also the MNF game from the 80's where the Redskins lost 48-47 to the Pack. Mark Moseley missed a FG on the final play that would have won the game 50-48.
You forgot the 2nd Miracle at the Meadowlands, when the punter should’ve kicked out of bounds, but kicked it to Deshaun Jackson. Tom Coughlin’s reaction was hilarious.
how are a lot of these the biggest chokes? Some of them were good D
These aren't chokes, they're common fuckups.
Matt Ryan just broke his own nfl record
In the first clip, the Rams made such a huge comeback in the game. They were down just three points when the Saints punted the ball and Az-Zahir Hakim muffed the punt.
Why did you put the word 'gullible' at the bottom of the description?
Trend. If you look you're gullible
25:34
"YOU BLEW IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!!!!"
3:33, "Laces OUT!"
You gotta have time, tho ...
Ok Jim
I’m glad the NFL got better at always showing the score and the time on screen. Had to rewind that first one.
I realize that it was just a regular season game and that the Cowboys eventually won that year's Super Bowl... not trying to take anything away from that. BUT! Speaking as a lifelong Eagles fan, I gotta say there's still a little bit of joy in (A) hearing "The Cowboys will win!" right before they lose, (B) seeing Aikman and Irvin celebrating but then going "wait WTF?", (C) seeing Jerrah go full triumph only to have it pulled away from him, and (D) the fact that it was Doug Pederson holding the snap.
But all that aside, let's not be so hard on Mr. Lett. If I recall correctly, his 1993 team won the Bowl, and his fuckup in the previous Bowl didn't cost his team a ring either. I'll be the first to admit: when I find myself in situations of extreme pressure, I tend to bork everything up. Leon Lett is the talented but fragile antihero who -- on some level -- we all are; and we all aspire to be: those who must live down their colossal missteps, those who must mine the gems of fun and mockery from the dirt of their small history, those for whom the consequence of failure is the soft success that rises solely from the absence of failure, those who nevertheless persist as champions despite their brief and hilarious moments of abject incompetence.
Humans.
Take care, Leon. You are us and we are you. From one football fan to another.
As a Patriots fan, that Asante Samuel interception whiff in the Super Bowl against the Giants still haunts me
He is at the height of his jump
Asante Samuel is at the height of his job, and the ball is at the tip of his fingers… Not catchable
Anyone else here after 33-0?
Man this makes you seem that anyone could become a NFL player.........then you look up best highlights and realize that they're gods among men
6:15 I love the fact that according to some, the reason why the Giants didn't kneel was the thought that it was 'wimpy' to do it. Hell, in THAT case _I_ will kneel out in Madden, even if it drops the team under a rushing goal, because there's no point in chancing it.
I was thinking the video should end with the Falcons choking for a whole quarter +. You did not disappoint.
That's a long ass description
15:22 -- If you watch his feet you can see that he clearly had one foot out of bounds... the catch wouldn't have counted, even if he had hauled it in. Foot goes out of bounds at 15:23
Broncos still beat the bengals in that one game
