3:04 I watched this live as a kid, been a football fan all my life and this game is in my top 5 of all-time. Miami v San Diego 1982 Divisional playoff game. It would go to OT. This play was also the last play of the 1st half. This is where the physical & mental training payed off. Deep in the game (5th quarter) both teams O & D lines were absolutely exhausted. SD pulled it out 41-38 with the game 1 minute from going to a 6th OT.

Yes indeed. One of the greatest games ever. Kellen Winslow had 13 receptions for 166 yards. I believe he also blocked a FG attempt in overtime. Chargers got off to a 24-0 first quarter lead but the Dolphins came back. The Chargers had three receivers go for over 100 yards (Winslow, Chandler, Joiner) and Chuck Muncie rushed for 120 yards. The Chargers had 564 yards of total offense. In this game they had to battle the heat and humidity and in the AFC Championship game the Chargers had to go to Antarctica.

On the Westbrook play 0:50 🦅 That wasn't Brian Westbrooks smarts there, it was John Runyan (#69). He yelled at Brian to go down before the goal line, which he did allowing the Eagles to burn the clock after the two minute warning. You can see Runyan pointing down toward the ground as he hollers and Westbrook looking back to him before being like 'oh yeah I should go down'
@davidlawrence3645
@davidlawrence3645 2 жыл бұрын
Yes, I can see Runyan motioning to Westbrook to go down, but Westbrook was already on it. They both understood the situation. That is clear when you watch the play again. See how Westbrook slows down when he breaks through? A running back laser-focused on running the play out would not have broken stride , slowed down, and turned back to gauge where his pursuers are before laying down. There's no way he was sprinting all-out enroute to the end zone when somehow he was able to hear Runyan's voice instructing him to go down. It was just a case of one guy motioning to another to do something that the other guy was already in the process of executing.

That punt return at the end is so underrated. You can tell he's the only player on the field who realizes the situation. Even before the weird bounce he's jogging towards the ball. Then when he realizes the ball didn't go out, he subtly changes direction and keeps jogging. It's not until he sees that no Saints players are looking at him that he really puts his foot on the gas. And then he's gone. Most of these plays are either intelligent, athletic or _sneaky_. This play has all 3. Not to mention an NFL record.

Harris picking it up there was smart because there is an NFL rule where once a player on the punting team touches it that spot the the worst spot u can get. So if he had been tackled in the endzone, it wouldn’t have been a safety because they Broncos defender touched it at the 1 yard line. So the only thing that can happen there is he gets positive yards

The o-line didn't know anything about it, so when he tapped him everyone was motionless & they went right in like it was a busted play. Touchdown 49ers!!! Hilarious!

Not really. It was successful due to accuracy not smarts. It's not smart to make a blind throw. You just don't have the CONSISTENT accuracy throwing blind, so you can't say it's a smart play. It's a DUMB, risky play, but lucky. With super talent, like Mahomes, it may be LESS dumb than with other QB's but it's still very risky and dumb.

In the CFL, intentional safeties are reasonably common. Because of the differences in gameplay (most notably having only three downs per series in Canada) field position is more of a consideration. It’s often worth giving up two points to push the opponent back 25+ yards.
@88porpoise
@88porpoise 8 ай бұрын
The CFL also has other rules more favourable to conceding a safety, namely it is a kickoff from the 35 (or the other team can simply take possession at their 35, the same distance from the endzone as the US 25 yard line) rather than a punt from the 20. You generally see about one inte tional safety per season in the NFL. They should probably be more common than they are late in games, but I can see the negative stats and likely publicity discouraging it. The ability to wipe 5-10 seconds off the clock and then step out of bounds is huge when the two points don't change the game (such as you are up by six)
