Which play do you think was the greatest play in football history?
| 1. | The Catch - 1981 NFC Championship game - Joe Montana lofted a high toss toward the back of the end zone, where Dwight Clark made a leaping fingertip snag — the most-replayed 6-yard TD in NFL history. |
| 2. | The Immaculate Reception - The Steelers trailed 7-6 and faced 4th-and-10 on their own 40 with 22 seconds left and no time outs when Terry Bradshaw scrambled to his right and, just as he was hit on his own 30, fired a ball over the middle of the field to intended receiver Frenchy Fuqua, who got popped by Jack Tatum and the ball caromed back to Franco Harris for the game-winning 60-yard TD. |
| 3. | The Cutback - Raiders vs. Redskins in Super Bowl XVIII - Marcus Allen's pirouetting, electrifying 74-yard TD run |
| 4. | Music City Miracle - Neal-to-Wycheck-to-Dyson while trailing Buffalo 16-15 with 16 seconds to play on a high, short kickoff at the 24 with "no flags on the field!" carried the Titans past the Bills in the 2000 NFL Playoffs. |
| 5. | The Hook and Lateral and Statue of Liberty - The Boise State Broncos trailed 35-28 to Oklahoma with 18 seconds left and the ball at midfield until Quarterback Jared Zabransky ran a perfectly executed hook-and-lateral to send it to OT and then ran a perfectly-executed Statue of Liberty play to win in OT. |
| 6. | Montana to Taylor - Niners win 20-16 over the Bengals in Super Bowl XXIII with the only game-winning touchdown pass in the final minute in SB history. |
| 7. | Jerry Rice 207th TD reception - his last touchdown in football, leaving him the NFL's all-time leader |
| 8. | Eli to Tyree - Facing a third-and-5 on their own 44-yard line with 1:15 remaining and trailing, Eli Manning escapes a sack and delivers a 32-yard pass to David Tyree, who catches the ball on top of his helmet and holds on to it there, as he is taken down backwards, for a first down to keep the drive alive. |
| 9. | Leon Lett - Self-titled because it is the only thing he will be remembered for, when Don Beebe caught him from behind to cause a fumble just before he crossed the endzone. |
