Even though football is America’s favorite sport, many young fans were not able to witness some of the most memorable moments in the history of this spectacular gamer, which is why we want to present you our list of the top 10 NFL moments (if you think we missed "The Catch", well, we just had a few other contenders in mind).

Fourth and 26: The season for the Eagles was coming to an end, and it was the final quarter of a playoff match (divisional) and they were down in the scoreboard against the Packers by only three points. After some plays, Philly was forced to pick 26 yards or their season was going to come to an end, and Green Bay were ready to celebrate their pass to the NFC Championship game, but Donovan McNabb had different plans, and with a pass of his to Freddie Mitchell, they gain 28 yards, allowing for two field goals by David Akers that gave the Eagles the surprising victory.

Meadowlands miracle: With just a few seconds remaining on the clock on the fourth quarter, and with the victory almost in their hands, the Giants went for a run instead of just holding the ball and waiting for the game to be finish. A decision that would end up costing them the game against the Eagles, as New York’s QB Joe Pisarcik handed the ball to Larry Csonka, who missed it, allowing cornerback Herman Edwards to pick it up and run 26 yards to give his team a win that meant a playoff spot.

Super Bowl 1: This game certainly deserved a place in our list, as it was the first time the AFL and the NFL champions met in order to find out who was to be set as Kings, and even though the Chiefs managed to be down by just 4 points at halftime, Green Bay played better, leading them to the first Super Bowl win by 35-10.

Miracle at Music City: In 2000, during a wild card playoff match, the Titans were close to be defeated by the Bills, with Buffalo holding a one point lead and only sixteen seconds left on the clock, then Lorenzo Neal managed to field a kickoff for Tennessee, and immediately passed the ball to Frank Wycheck, who then threw a lateral for Kevin Dyson, who ended up running 75 yards and hit a touchdown that gave the Titans a victory nobody was expecting.

Wide Right: Only 8 seconds remained in Super Bowl XXV with the Bills losing 19-20 to the Giants, and Buffalo’s Scott Norwood had everything on his side to become a hero, but his 47-yard kick went wide right, and he missed his chance for immortality.
