In a 1985 NFL game between the Cleveland Browns and New York Jets, WR Kurt Sohn accidentally ran the wrong route on a plan, and ran inside when he was supposed to run outside. What followed could've been an absolute catastrophe. Instead, his mistake turned out to be extremely beneficial, as it helped the Jets win the game, and sent the Jets to the playoffs. This is the story behind Ken O'Brien's touchdown pass to Kurt Sohn, which might be the most beneficial and best mistake in the history of the New York Jets

Congrats on the sponsor but i imagine my dads face when i give him the Manscape for Christmas and have to tell him what it is.
Amazingly tasteful ad read there, JG!
Congrats on the sponsorship lad
This channel only has 24K subscribers and this dude does a great job of popping these videos out rapidly. High quality product too, get the word out about this channel.
You’re right! We should ask UT to shout him out during an episode of sportsball.
Damn I miss the 1980s NFL.
I miss the last century, period. Everything about this one has sucked pretty much from the start.
Damn, I miss the 1980’s period.
the 81/82 Jets had some speed Sohn’s 4.45, Wesley Walker and ‘76 Gold Medal Olympian Lam Jones both ran 4.38 and Bruce Harper ran a 4.4
Don't spike your balls on every play with Manscaped!
What I remember from this season was the 8-8 Browns almost beat the Dolphins in the playoffs. They were up 21-3 when I turned the game on either midway or late in the 3rd. But then whatever the Browns were doing, stopped working.
Cleveland literally ran all over the Dolphins in that game(over 250 yards rushing) but Marino picked up his game in the 2nd half. It didn't help that Kosar had a whopping 66 yards passing in that game.
@@Rockhound6165 Kosar's shining moment to this day, is saving the Cowboys season in 1993.
I remember after seeing the score of this game and the Browns' 8-8 record (with people expressing SJW levels of outrage that they were even allowed to be in the playoffs) I flat out didn't take them seriously. I was 12, my team was on a 7-game win streak and was 8-0 at home. I knew the Browns had two thousand yard rushers which I thought was cool, but in my mind that only meant the rest of their team sucked even more.
Next thing I know Miami is behind 21-3 and at that point I shut the game off, went to my room, and spent about an hour muttering to myself, "They're actually going to do it! They're actually going to lose to the freakin' BROWNS!" But then I turned the game back on, just to see how much the Dolphins had lost by, and saw them actually take the lead and win, which absolutely blew my mind because at that time teams just didn't lose after being ahead by 3 scores in a playoff game. It just wasn't done.
@@DolFan316 I was kid too. I just came in after shoveling snow and turned on the game. I was shocked to see that score. But as soon as I started watching the dolphins were doing what I expected. Scoring on every drive against that team.
@@Ragnar009 So YOU were the good luck charm!!! 36 years later, I thank you 🙌🙌🙌
Such a Jets way to make the playoffs. I remember the play and being both happy (Jets fan since most the family are Jets fans) and disappointed (Browns fan since well... why not) at the same time. Interesting though how the route was wrong... but looked right.
That would be next year when they lost the last five games and made it
I find it interesting that so many of these videos have something to do with mistakes made by the Jets.
It's a fairly limitless source of material.
Great job finding this bit of history, JG9!
And yes, for an undrafted free agent coming through Fordham via NCC, Kurt Sohn had a remarkably good career.
Well there you go '85 Broncos. Don't blame the two OT losses to the 12-4 Raiders for missing the playoffs, blame Kurt Sohn. It was really all HIS fault.
This unofficial Official Jaguar Gator 9 historian will remind everyone you made a video about another Jets player running the wrong route. That player, Clark Gaines, would go on to have a good career with the Jets.
Wow I remember this game! I think Kurt Sohn played at Fordham! It’s a fond memory for me. I remember the Bears beat up the Jets on a Saturday a few weeks prior. Denver missed the playoffs at 11-5. Plus the Jets had to play the Patriots on Saturday because the Giants played the Niners the next day at the same stadium
I believe that Jet / Bear game was a lot closer than you might remember. Maybe the closest game of the Bears’ season up until that point.
@@eddiehunt2967 I think you are right, it was 19-6, I just remember being so hopeful they would win the game and it was not as close as the score indicated. I just looked up the Bears, they had 4 games with smaller margins than that Jet game.
@@anthony0358 Two of those games, oddly enough, were against my awful Bucs (38-28 in the Chi and 27-19 at Tampa Bay). Given that those Bucs were dreck, I find that to be odd.
The day before this game at Giants Stadium, the venue's primary and namesake tenants made the Browns/Jets game meaningless for the Browns by smacking the Steelers upside the head. You rarely see a team get help at the stadium it has to play in the next day.
Kurt Sohn was a great Jets wide receiver during those 1980's years!
As a die hard Jets fan I remember this one well, 85 was one of my first years as a kid following football. That play totally turned the game around as Jets down 7-0 and should of had a intercepted pass but Kurt Sohn rips it away from Don Rogers for the score and the Jets go onto a 37-10 win and get into the playoffs.
The biggest mistake ever? The NY Jokes as a team and the entire city!
Bless the UA-cam algorithm for finding this channel. Love the content you're putting out! Keep it up!

JETS! JETS! JETS!
Thank you for letting me see this awesome play for the first time.
A former booze salesman for a wide receiver runs the wrong route and the team lucks into a playoff spot. Can't imagine how the New England Patriots beat this team every year.
Uh oh. Manscaped got to JG9.
Who is not immune?
The New York Jets, everyone!
"With that, Sohn left his job selling liquor…"
…and started a new job _drinking_ liquor because he was on the Jets.
Seeing OBJ9 actually selling out to Manscaped fills my soul with eternal sadness 😭😭😭
Should he work for free?
I don't see the issue with him getting paid for the time he puts into research and making videos. And there are a lot worse companies he could be sponsored by.
I was really young when this happened
Were you older or younger than 12? That's how old I was.
Jaguar.....you are my go to guy on Sunday's while Im doing some work at the computer......your stories are exceptionally well done, well researched, and well produced. Kudos. ANY fan of the game should be subscribed to you....
The minute you said Kurt Sohn, I knew you were going to show this play
The next week, in the AFC Wild Card Game, the 1985 Jets luck would run out.
Yep, the Pats forced 4 or 5 turnovers .
@@stevep8445 Pats forced about a million turnovers during those playoffs(18 to be exact) and even started the Super Bowl off by forcing a Walter Payton fumble but that was the end of their luck. Fun Fact: The Pats actually had a lead in SB XX.
I was so mad they lost to the Pats, and really didn't even seem to try that hard. And this was even before the Pats beat the Raiders let alone my team.
@@Rockhound6165 The '85 Pats had a +5 turnover ratio for the regular season. Good, but nothing to really get excited about. Then in three postseason games, it was +12. They had ONE regular season game with as high as a +4 turnover ratio and then three +4 games in a row!!! Talk about fluky postseason runs!!! I get mad just thinking about it!!!
The last two games of Don Rogers' (gone way too soon) career didn't go well. After this, two weeks later he did have an INT off Marino, but he also got trucked by Ron Davenport on a 31-yard TD as MIA rallied from down 21-3 to win. So sad.
“Browns have nothing to play for”
“Oh so they’re a bad team”
“Their division is so bad that if they lost they would still win the division”
“Oh”
That manscape ad 🤣
Two under rated teams of the 80s, the browns and the jets
That play was pretty smooth.
A Jets blunder that actually worked out for them? What is this, The Twilight Zone?
Another illustrious NCC alumni
That's where muscle memory can betray you. I've had it happen to me in some cases.
The more remarkable thing about this was that either the Jets at 10-6(if they lost) or the Broncos at 11-5 were going to miss the playoffs while the Browns were going to make it at either 9-7 or 8-8. This was a season where people began to question the logic behind the NFL's playoffs formula. How would you like to win 11 games but you have to sit home and watch a .500 team make the playoffs. The Patriots suffered this same fate in 2008.
This was when only 10 teams made the playoffs. The Patriots missed it when 12 teams made the playoffs. The funny thing is Denver went 11-5 the next season too and won the division.
Yup. That darn divisional format. Which still exists today even though now divisional games are only a third of a team's schedule compared to half a team's schedule back then.
@@kessel12 My Cards missed the playoffs twice after winning 10 games. 1976 and 2013.
You overlooked the fact the Steelers' loss the previous day was on the same field to the Giants.
“J-E-…not yet…” Chris Berman
1. Manscaped is a more relevant sponsorship than Raid Shadow Legends!
2. I know people rag on Joe Walton, but he's second to Weeb Ewbank in Jets coaching history in terms of tenure, and W/L record (Walton was 53-57-1).
3. The only time so far Jets and Giants hosted a playoff game the same year; so the Wild Card games were on separate days.
Kurt Suhn was fun to watch, I had no idea of his background but it seemed he and Al Toon arrived at the same time and I assumed he was a Rookie that same year Toon was.
Sohn was the third wideout before Al Toon arrived.
@@davidrivera9743 Yep, that's what it looks like. I never saw him play until that year Toon arrived. In Toons first 2 years I couldn't tell who was better, him or Jerry Rice. Not a Jets fan so I did not follow closely but I guess toon must have gotten injured because he just disappeared after a couple of seasons from the perspective of a non Jets fan.
Even when they succeed its an accident. But it's more fun when they don't succeed. J-E-S-T! JEST! JEST! JEST!
The New York J-E-T-E Jets select…
They should’ve made a movie out of this guy’s career like they did with the Eagles Vince Papale. For those of you who don’t remember the movie was called Invincible starring Mark Wahlberg.
The great Don Crique on the call...
I love a happy ending!
So does Robert Kraft...
He would've probably had a better career with a West Coast Offense team.
Had no clue this guy Sohn was a deep threat with 4.44 speed of course I saw him a white guy and I automatically assumed he was a possession WR.Glad I saw this story.
Before you shave your private area, you need some context...glad you got a sponsor--you deserve it
How do you get your ideas for videos?
That play reminds me of the Saints vs Washington game in 2009.
(Sppoler)they hosted the new england patriots in the wildcard. a team who to that point had never won a playoff game since the nfl merger. (The jets lost. The pats ended up going to their first superbowl.)
Didn't Don Roger's die in the next off season from a car accident or something like that.
two things i remember about sohn 1 when he spit in gastinueas face when he crossed picket line during 87 strike and two his hot ex wife bartended at fridays near my house
The shameless plug for genital hygiene was worth the view alone!!!
Not really. Not when every male UA-camr whose videos I watch plug the same product and do it in a way that my ad blocker doesn't work.
Now if female UA-camrs started hawking it, and did it in a certain way, heavily implying that anyone who used Manscaped could get a shot at her, then maybe that would at least be mildly interesting. (I looove it when my man uses Manscaping, ooohhh...)
As a jets fans here we again
*Here We Again*
Gang Green made the playoffs? Surely you Jest.
Great quarterback, never heard of him..
all jets all the time. except for lions hate pre-thanksgiving. 32 teams out there yet this dude acts like there are only 10. and i gave this dude plenty of video material yet it goes ignored. And he still can't figure out why cowboy fans set santa on fire.
