Philly special is one given the stage.

I'd put Desean Jackson's muffed punt return for a TD at #2, but that's because it was a walk-off special teams TD that capped off a 28 points in 7 minutes comeback.

So I'd go:
1) Philly special
2) Miracle in the New Meadowlands
3) Miracle in the Meadowlands


Chuck Bednarik almost killing Frank Gifford is definitely in the discussion for the Eagles.

Falcons -

Morten Andersen's kick to beat the 15-1 Vikings on the road to go to the Super Bowl. Unless we eventually win one this will always be #1 for me.

Immaculate reception was illegal at the time. Ball deflected off offensive player and could not be legally caught by player on same team. Another screw Al Davis ruling.

The Falcons is the Billy "white shoes" Johnson Hail Mary catch, weave and endzone dance. That play alone sparked a huge renewal of fan interest in the team and made white shoes a living legend in the dirty south.

Porter's pick 6 to close out a super bowl was by far the biggest play in saints history.

Gleason's block might be more iconic though. They made a statue commemorating it.

I think the onside is behind the Porter or Gleason play.

Saints has to be Tracy Porter’s pick 6 in the Super Bowl.

Chiefs has to be 65 Toss Power Trap or the Dawson to Taylor TD connection to close out SB IV.

Jets, either the Matt Snell TD run or the INT off Unitas in SB III.

Bears: Fridge Perry going into the end zone on SB XX.

Panthers: Jake Delhomme to Steve Smith in OT to beat the Greatest Show on Turf in the playoffs.

Dolphins: Jake Scott’s 2nd INT in the SB to help seal the only undefeated season.

Probably Morten Anderson’s winning field goal in the 1998 NFC Championship Game for Atlanta. Although it should have been Julio’s amazing catch in LI. fricking Kyle Shanahan
