20 LUCKIEST Moments In NFL History!

These are some of the luckiest NFL plays you are ever going to see, starting with the Chiefs winning the division on this crazy play. But how about an interception happening in the weirdest way possible? And the Broncos got lucky on this play because the Chiefs didn't realize that they had just caught a touchdown. Jalen Hurts though got lucky with this bounce and then was able to throw a perfect strike. Meanwhile this player turned a drop pass into a touchdown with his feet. And somehow these two players were both able to use their butts to both pull off the same play. Normally when you think of butts, luck, and football, the butt fumble is the first play that comes to mind. But these players were able to use their booties for good luck on their plays starting with Marshawn Lattimore. Yeah, gravity was definitely on his side during that play. But then a few years later, we saw Marcus May pull off the exact same play. So maybe using your butt is actually a good luck charm when it comes to forcing turnovers. And speaking of luck, I heard that if you subscribe, your team will have the best luck this upcoming season, so make sure you do that right now! But let's get back to the action with this lineman making the best play of his career thanks to a lucky bounce. This dealer has managed to get one of the luckiest bounces of all time, and it turned into the most perfect punt you will ever see. Tyreek Hill was able to make the luckiest play of his career because he was at the right place at the right time. These final 10 plays are some of the luckiest in NFL history. They include record breakers, clutch catches in the Super Bowl, and some of the rarest plays in NFL history you will not want to miss. Starting with this insane catch in the playoffs that happened because someone accidentally kicked the ball in the air. That play was instrumental to the Eagles winning that game, which eventually led them to winning the Super Bowl. And somehow, this player getting absolutely lit up after catching the ball turned out to help his team. Just watch. That play went from a 30-yard catch, to an incomplete pass, to a 50-yard completion all in 5 seconds. This play, however, went from a catch for the offense into a touchdown for the defense after a little bit of luck. The fact that the ball not only just missed hitting the ground, but also ended up in the hands of the defense shows that sometimes it is better to be lucky than good. However, the luckiest play in Drew Brees' career turned this interception into a touchdown. Not only are two turnovers a one play super rare, but also a touchdown happening on that play is probably doubly as rare. And believe it or not, the Chiefs were performing some devil magic plays well before what they were doing in 2024. The ball got tipped perfectly in stride with the receiver, and he took it to the house. Hard to get luckier than that. And the Raiders can't seem to catch a break, because later that season, they were victims of this unlucky touchdown. Maybe they are just cursed. This next lucky play turned out to be one of the rarest in NFL history and helped his team win a playoff game. In 2017, playing the Chiefs in the wildcard round, the Titans looked like they were cooked. Down 21 to 3 in the third quarter, they desperately needed to score a touchdown on their drive if they wanted to stay in this game. And that's when Marcus Mariota pulled this play off. Yeah, Mariota literally threw a touchdown to himself. That play has only happened two other times in NFL history, and the amount of luck that needs to be involved for that to happen is insane. That score lit a flame under the Titans, who eventually completed the comeback, winning their first playoff game in 14 seasons, thanks in large part due to that touchdown throw to himself. But we've also seen luck factor into one of the largest playoff comebacks of all time, both literally and figuratively. In 2013, the Chiefs were up 38 to 10 over the Colts in the wildcard game and all hope looked lost for Indianapolis. But behind their quarterback, Andrew Luck, they were able to battle back. In just one quarter, Indy cut the lead down to 41 to 31 and were in close range to score another touchdown to make it just a three-point game. That's when one of the kookiest plays in NFL history happened. Yeah, who would've thought that Andrew Luck would live up to his name with that touchdown. The score made it a three-point game, and the Colts would score one more touchdown late in the fourth to complete the comeback, winning 45 to 44. And even winning the Superbowl requires a lot of luck, just ask Tom Brady and Julian Edelman. The story of Superbowl 51 is not a new one. The Patriots were down 28 to 3 with just two minutes left in the third quarter, and they were not done fighting. The offense kept on putting up points while the defense was playing lights out. And with just over two minutes left in the fourth quarter, down by eight, and the Superbowl on the line, Brady and Edelman pulled off this miraculous play. Somehow, someway, that tip ball stayed off the ground and Julian Edelman was able to come down with it. That play kept the drive going, which resulted in the game-tying touchdown, and eventually, the Goats sixed the ring. But the luckiest play in NFL history broke this 50-plus-year-old record. In 2021, the Ravens tried to do something that seemed impossible. Down by one, with three seconds left, instead of throwing a Hail Mary from their own 44-yard line, they trotted Justin Tucker out to attempt a 66-yard game-winning field goal, which would also set a new record for the longest field goal made, if it was good. And with a little luck, Tucker and the Ravens pulled this off.
