They recently did a top 10 plays in Super Bowl history. James Harrison's 100 yard interception return from Super bowl 43 wasn't on the list.



Erroneous. That was possibly pound for pound the best NFL play I've ever seen.

I was confused because I thought you were talking about the Bama RB who played for the Saints.

Underrated: Malcolm Butler having the wherewithal to get up and tackle Jermaine Kearse after Kearse made that ridiculous catch on a tipped ball a few plays before Butler's more famous goal line interception.

Video won't embed, but this play.

Niners end up winning 26-21...0h but for that goal line stand in the 3rd Bengals win the Super Bowl.

The Niners offense got all the headlines during that era, but they had a great defense most years in the 80’s and early 90’s.

Montana magic and the TD to Taylor gets all the love when it comes to beating the Bengals in the Super Bowl...

An underrated play from a significance standpoint is Lewis Billups of Cincinnati dropping a Montana pass in SB 23. Cincy was leading 13-6 early in the fourth when he dropped the pass. The 49ers scored the next play to tie the game at 13-13.

Much of Montana’s legend is tied to his flawless SB performances. Billups intercepts that pass in the endzone and the Bengals hold on to win, Montana would still be an all-time great (of course) but his mystique would have taken a hit.

Play won’t embed but can be found on YT here.

Jackie Smith drop vs. Steelers. Being from the Kentwood area really amplifies it for me.

XLIV obviously has several memorable ones for the Saints but one play that always stood out to me was Manning's moonball to Clark to convert 3rd down during that 3rd quarter drive where the Colts take the lead.

The NFL sucks and won't let me embed this URL, so just open a new tab and skip to the 59:00 mark to watch it: LINK

Still possibly the most "how the shite did that ball get there" throw I've ever seen. I've posted about it before but it never seems to get much love. Criminally underrated throw by Manning.
