The Craziest 'Oops' Moments in NFL

I think they're overly comfortable. 7-10 from his own end zone. The Rebels out of the end zone. It's a safety. Remember, Daniel Lapsky did that. Stepped all the way out of the end zone. It's a safety, and that kills the play before everything else. Corner route for the interception. So here's Richardson, who is just 6 of 17, throwing in the first half. Taylor breaking away. Taylor. Touchdown. Did Taylor drop the football? Oh, boy. Jonathan Taylor, touchdown run. Overturned. Dropped the football before he crossed the plane. Giants at 3-1, and the Rams at 2-2, and we're underway in Anaheim. Coming down to the far side and fumbled into the end zone and fallen on by one of the Giants, and that is a touchdown. He touched the ball in the field of play, did A.J. Jones. Let it go into the end zone, and the Giants fell on it for a touchdown. Four seconds remaining. Big gust. Snap, a tough one. The kick is away. Look at the wind. Take that one, Bill. Wow. That took it about 25 yards away from the upright. So there's the shift. Ravens respond. That thing went half a yard. Then he just drills it down the field. That was bad. And two penalties are down. That was a whiff. You don't see that very often. The official's even laughing about that one. He just, that's asking a little too much. He was trying to show that he was kicking it to the left. He was going to try and pooch it to the right. Good, tough third-down receiver. Hang on a second. We got to make sure he broke the plane on that, guys. I saw it live, and it didn't look right, and you just can't do that. It's also one of the all-time bonehead plays. 16 seconds to play. Quinn with time. Throws for the end zone. It is intercepted. Lost. Touchdown, Jacksonville. You play 59 minutes and 53 seconds to get a play like this. Watch this. Jonathan Quinn takes a chance. It's intercepted by Lewis. Doc Hollins out on defense. He's all the way back. Stevenson. Has anyone got it? Sets out the third. He flips it back. Stanford Band nowhere in sight. Uh-oh. It's clipped off. Uh-oh. Oh, no. So, here we go. Dallas needs this without timeouts. Zerline, a little squib. It's got to go 10 yards, and it's close. Zerline may have come through. Who's got it? The Cowboys have it. Do you believe that? Oh, they could have picked it up and ended the game, but Dallas has recovered, and they're not done yet. You're not going to believe what happened to Gus Farron. What happened? Touchdown run. Goes into the end zone. Head butts the wall. Jams his neck. X-rate for that. I swear. That's what they're saying. And this kick is blocked. Yipremian has it. Throws a pass up with a ball. It's Mike Bass. He's running away for a touchdown. Mike Bass scores. Gary Yipremian lost his head and tried to throw a pass. It went in the hands of Mike Bass. Five straight losses will do that. Get a little toss back here. Corley, plenty of room all the way to the end zone. The execution, everything's great. Oh, boy, he dropped that ball. The rookie, Corley, what in the heck is he thinking? And it's an interception that will be run back by Trevathan for a pick six. Did he drop the ball before he crossed the goal line? Oh, my goodness. They're saying touchback. You would swear that everybody would learn by now. So six seconds remain on the clock. Can they run one play to the end zone quickly here? Thinking about running one play. He took the knee, though. He took the knee. He did take the knee. So now it's going to run out. He did not spike the ball. He didn't spike it. He took the knee. And a flag is down. They have butchered this. I'm not sure on two occasions Kirk Cousins did not spike the football. Yeah, that's the end of the half. He took a knee instead of spiking it. Philadelphia is running off the field. This is bizarre. What's the thought process here? Spiked the ball. He had a brain freeze. Yeah, that was... Quarterback kneeled down, which made the clock continue to run. The half is over. That's it. Washington got no points out of that effort. Well, and he doesn't have to. You know, they were saying, well, you know, he wasn't touched, so he got up, and they were going to do it. Well, the fact of the matter is he gave himself up. By giving himself up, it's automatically... You could see him slam the ball into the ground. He knew he messed it up. In motion on first down. Pollard lost the handle on it. Ball loose on the turf. Scooped up by the... Down the sideline. To the end zone. Third and ten. Here comes Jared Allen, and he's out. And that's a safety. Well, so much for me calling him savvy because he had no idea. Shotgun, Kittler, buying some extra time. Throwing too high and intercepted. Picked off by Ed Reed, the rookie. Reed weaving through traffic. Remains on his feet. Here's Reed across the end zone. Reed started showboating a bit with the ball extended. Big rookie mistake by Ed Reed. Unfortunately for the Raiders, it'll be Matt LeBloin as their quarterback. That one bounces, and no one out of Bills goes to get it. Now Gilleslie tracks it down in the end zone. He can't let it go. That's a touchdown! What are the Bills doing? Just had one first down as a team with 4.52 to go in the half. It's Patrick. Over the middle. There is Marshall. Wide open. Drops the ball. Eagles pick it up. Got the turnover. At the end of this play, he sees his teammate and tries to pitch it just senseless by Brandon Marshall. We'll see if he's down. He is not down. And now they're going to try to win it. And remember, Calais Campbell has blocked three field goals this year. And the kick will not count. A timeout was called. Stats calling the timeout. So Bailey, with a 49-yard attempt, gets the kick off. Did not know that his coach was calling a timeout here. And will have to come and do it again. Here it is again, with seven seconds left in regulation. A successful 49-yarder, only to have the timeout by Jason Garrett. Forcing to do it again. Misses. So normally, the defensive team calls the timeout to ice you. And, in effect, the timeout by the Cowboys might have iced their own kicker. Including Hakeem, who has come in the sixth. Horton going deep. He's got Watkins. And buckle up fills. A touchdown-seeking tackle by a team. That's a rookie mistake by Sammy Watkins. Throwing long there. Sterling Sharp. Sterling Sharp caught the ball at the 10 and to the 5. And he walks. Oh, he fumbled the ball. He didn't get down. He gets in the end zone for a touchdown. Doug Peterson to hold. Someone touches the football here. Watch what happens. It's Leon Lett. No! Oh, Lett, who is haunted by a Super Bowl misplay. 19 yards. He makes it. Miami goes home with a miracle win. The Dolphins pull it out. Take it. Winston. Looking long. It's caught. Dante Dye. Dye could have kept going. That was a fumble by Dye. The ball never crosses the goal line. Third down. Middle of the field, in and out of the hands of Brown. Intercepted. That's James Butler. He's in the end zone. Now, wait a minute. That's a safety because he intercepted it outside of the end zone, took it into the end zone with his own momentum, and it's a safety. That's just trying to make too much out of nothing. Here's the reverse angle. He's running and now winds up in nothing but trouble. Pressure. Sometimes you got to say, this is not my play. Throw it away. After orchestrating a terrific drive, just throws an ill-advised pass. Pressure helped it, but there was just nobody home. Well, this is supposed to be a quarterback draw. They have a light box. Buck is running for 15 seconds, and it's third and 26. This is like the light box. You could have gotten numbers, but just didn't. You better hurry. Oh, this is a disaster in the making here. You're going to have to do something when it comes down to this play. Incomplete, and the game is over. Completely botched at the end by the Bears. I can't believe they didn't take a timeout. You just assumed they would have taken. They're looking around like, what just happened? They had a timeout left. The clock has struck zero, and it is over. Don't be a hero. Smith in trouble. Smith wrapped up, and he is sacked by Moore at the 48. And I'll tell you what, Moore might want to get back in position. Oh, they're still celebrating. The play's going to be... Good job by the coach taking a timeout. Look at Tuck. Oh, Tuck was the one who called the timeout. He was looking down the field, and there were a couple of his teammates 20 yards from the line of scrimmage. Now get set for a play you'll probably never see again. The Bears' Wizard White, while attempting to pass, spots the Rams about to close in, so backward he goes. With three Rams breathing hard on his heels, White sprints goalward, but in the wrong direction. For 51 yards, White hit the backward trail. Then, to top it all off, he gets hit and fumbles. Kastner scoops up the loose pigskin and goes over for the touchdown. Yeah, I mean, right now, it favors that, but you've still got a chance to clock it. Take your time and take the shot down. Here's Mahomes rolling out on third and four. He's going to go for the... Yes, he's got the marker. He's got the out-of-bounds to stop it, and Osai was hurt as he hit the bench, and a flag's coming in to put him 15 yards closer. And that's going to put them in position to get... Personal foul, unnecessary roughness. Defense, number 58. And that 15 yards from the end of the play is going to take this all the way into an inside of about 40-yard field goal attempt to go to the Super Bowl. Here's Butker. For 45 yards... Second down and nine. Ryan, over the top, it's intercepted. It's headed for Roddy White. It's Dre Bly. He fumbles. Ryan tried to cover. And we remember the speed we saw earlier in the game. It's a great play by Dre Bly, but what are you doing? Put the ball away. What are you celebrating for? You're going to get swallowed up in about five more yards. They've blitzed all night. Deshaun Jackson brings the crowd to his feet here in Washington. First Jones kicks. Jackson desperate to get going for the 16. Not much room, trying to make a lot happen here. Big circle back by Jackson, trying to pick up blocks. And he lost the football! And it's recovered by the Pudgicks in trying to do too much. Just heaves it. Oh, it's called for the touchdown on the big six. As Love just mindlessly tried to get rid of it to avoid the safety, right in the hands of the Rams defender. And Los Angeles takes the lead. Just go long. Well, there's only one wide receiver in the game, though. They've got... Launch it. That'll bring us to the end of the first half. First and goal, Sprint Reif, looking over his options. Nearly lost his footing. He cannot take a sack, as we just talked about. And the ball goes into the hands of Hendricks. It is an interception. What a wasted opportunity by Russell Wilson and Seattle. You do not see him make these bonehead plays like this. So a fourth and 10. Titans have to get to the 34-yard line. Three wide receivers. Young from the shotgun. And 5-and-1, Kiwanuka wraps him up. Young escapes. Quit on the play. And Vince Young will pick up the first down. What was Kiwanuka thinking about? All the way out to the 43. Kiwanuka thought he had him, and Young broke free and gains 19 yards. I mean, it's the second play by a Giants name where they just quit on the play. Nobody quits on what could be a sack in this league. Wow. Tom Coughlin can't believe it, and rightfully so. This year. All right, give it a game, why not? And Smith with the rush. Bruce Johnson with the interception. This is to the 40, and listen to this. Shotgun for Cordell. Ball at the Jacksonville 49. They show blitz, but they don't come. He's gonna throw it down the middle of the field. It's a grab by Plexico at the 25-yard line. And he spiked the football. He wasn't down. Nobody touched him. Yes, he was patched. No one touched him. Here comes Jacksonville. Danny Clark running up the sideline, and he's hit and down by Cordell Stewart at the 28-yard line. I'm telling you that he was touched on there, punch. Well, it wasn't whistled dead, and if it wasn't whistled dead, you don't spike the ball. Pass caught by Claypool. First down, clock running. And it may come up and clock it now. There he goes. They got it. Now the balls, they can't get the ball to the official. He's trying to scramble to get it set. Fake the handoff. McCown steps up. McCown out of the pocket, and McCown diving headfirst to the 45-yard line, very close to a first down. McCown indicating that he has enough. I think he got a bad mark there, because if you go headfirst, when you hit the ground, you get all that yardage or inchage. Oh, that was the six on the boy. 600 touchdown pass. The football went into the stance. Somebody's got to go get that football back. 5,000-plus on their feet. And he's got a good shot on this one from the sixth. To the sidelines, to the 30. By Chris Crocker. What an effort by the Cleveland rookie. Pinned up against the sidelines, completely reverses his field, and away he goes. But look at Crocker. Look at Crocker change directions three times. Practice all those throws. Uh-oh. Yeah. Now we've got, on a fourth down and three, you got Griff Whalen ready to take the snap. He'll snap it. Actually, Colt Anderson is behind him. What in the world? There is absolutely no way possible that they should have snapped that ball and tried to sneak it. There were three, four, five guys around two players. That was insane. You got a guy on either side of him. What are you doing here? We've seen a lot of bizarre stuff. I've never seen anything more bizarre than that. The week between divisionals and the NFC Championship game. Oh, they run the fake. The fake is short with Nix. The Saints stop him. What a call. My gosh, with four minutes to go. Nix thinks he's got it. Drops the mic. First down, everyone. I did it. And then everyone's like, yeah. Then you walk over and you're like, you're a full yard and a half short. Did not score on their opening drive. And now third and ten, Brooks in trouble. And throws it backwards. This is a live ball. Back there to pick it up is Deuce McAllister. Still on his feet and tackled all the way back into 21. He's going to feel a lot of pressure here. He's just going to turn around and throw the ball. Think it's Wayne Gandy right there. And he's like, who are you throwing it to?
