Greatest Game Winning Plays in NFL History

Terry Bradshaw's pass was thought to have been incomplete, but little did the Raiders know that Franco Harris would wind up with the ball, scoring the game-winning touchdown.

This is a 1-in-a-trillion play that will most likely never happen again. It's just too crazy to redo.

Arguably the greatest play in history for how crazy it was for its time.

Frank Wycheck to Kevin Dyson gave the Titans playoff hope... only to lose to the Rams in the Super Bowl. Still, one of the greatest plays in NFL history.

Just think, if this team had drafted Randy Moss instead of Kevin Dyson, they probably could have won that Super Bowl.

Dwight Clark or Jerry Rice? This great catch out of the back of the end zone helped Clark's stock, even though Rice is still one of the greatest.

This ended up being the great 49ers dynasty in its highlights summed up.

Staubach coined the phrase "Hail Mary." It became a hit and is used everywhere now. And it's all because of one long pass to Drew Pearson.

Ah yes, Drew Pearson, the inventor of the most common play in the NFL when only a few seconds are left.

For me, this play was more luck-based than actual skill. But it did take skill for Herman Edwards to take the fumble to the house.

Right, the original play, which not many remember that well since its sequel also had an electrifying end.

As I watched this play live on TV, it disappointed me that Marcus Williams missed the tackle. But I can't let my bias get in the way. Again, this play was more luck-based, but it was impressive how Stefon Diggs stayed in bounds.

Good play when it was most needed. Honestly, I think the Saints can rebound from this loss, as it was a matter of luck by Keenum to a wide-open Diggs.

You mean one of the ridiculously easy clutch wins in history? That Thursday night, the Lions didn't know how to defend against a predictable Hail Mary thrown all the way to the ceiling of Ford Field.

Rodgers to Rodgers! The pass Aaron threw went 61 yards and nearly hit the rafters at Ford Field. What other quarterback could do that?

How Eli Manning escaped that pile is beyond me. Not only that, how on earth did he make that pass after narrowly escaping a sack? Also, how did David Tyree catch that? This, in my opinion, is one of the greatest plays in Super Bowl history.

Yeah, that was a memorable Super Bowl play that stands out.

This play is why the NFL made a rule banning intentional fumbling to score. Otherwise, it was another luck-based play, but still really good.

The Holy rule changer is more like it. This one iconic play ended up changing the rules afterwards.
