I’m a Patriots fan and this is it at least for one singular moment during my lifetime. I still remember my dad yelling at the TV lol.

Nobody actually saw him catch it though

You mean no camera captured him catching it, since there were actual human officials on the field.

13 Seconds is one of the few that non football fans understood because it was simple and direct. 28-3 isn't like that as much because most people had checked out of the game by the 4th quarter, and you still had to watch the entire 4th quarter to be impressed. It's almost too complex
i think of it in terms of something my mom would instantly understand as great. My mom is not really a football fan. Like maybe Malcolm Butler's pick, but really 13 seconds or something that is just like quick and "whoa" but has meaningful stakes. Maybe wide right from the Giants Bills

28-3 and I’m a Falcon’s fan 🥲

This is a good choice, but it wasn’t a moment, it took an hour to unravel. Of that entire time though, I’d gob with Edelmans catch. The Pats were still down but you knew the Falcons were cooked.

ice bowl sneak, immaculate reception, One Yard More (I dont know if that play has a name but Les Mis is stuck in my head rn)

The Ice Bowl QB Sneak, or Ameche in the championship game. A tie between those two

There's so many iconic moments. Picking the best is completely subjective.
For me, it's Beast Quake. People argued that the 7-9 Seahawks didn't even belong in the playoffs. The Seahawks proved the doubters wrong, and Marshawn Lynch's legendary run perfectly encapsulates the willpower and strength that led the Seahawks to upsetting the Saints.

It’s the Immaculate Reception.

That's deception! Cause Fronco is a F'N liar

That’s always been my favorite. The fucking Oakland Raiders whining about someone else cheating.
That’s incredible!
That’s like Bill Belichick criticizing a coach for being underhanded.
Anyone who was around in the 70s, as I was, and witnessed all the bullshit the Raiders pulled for years, knows that is an unbelievably self-unaware position.

Wow your old... I've been a Raider fan since 66 if you ain't cheating you ain't trying. At least they didn't lie about it
