One of the prettiest passes ever, if you ask me.

Scott Norwood missed FG, Bills versus Giants, Super Bowl XXV

47 wide right. This is honestly my first specific memory of NFL football. I had wanted football games before but I can't remember anything. It speaks to the magnitude of that moment in many people's lives. I honestly have a tough time saying for sure that Norwood actually choked. Yes, it was a big moment and a kick that he should have probably made, but it was a 47 yard kick.

Huh, Looks like I'm basically getting them right. I almost included the Jackie Smith dropped pass, but I didn't think any WR's would make the list over the more obvious QBs and kickers.

The Lett fumble surprised me. That's kind of what he does, so it wasn't a big surprise, and the regular season meant the stakes were low.

47 yard FG is not a choke, it's 50/50

Re: #8 IMO that Super Bowl featured two of the best teams in NFL history and was the best Super Bowl matchup as well.

Re: #6 Thank you twelfth man in the huddle! If not for that, they run Peterson one more time to set up the field goal. That penalty made it just outside of comfort range and they needed to get those five yards back.

Earnest Byner’s fumble, Browns vs Broncos, 1987 AFC Championship game



Was young while it happened so I don't remember this game. After watching the clip, this is another situation that I'm not convinced that Byner "choked". I think that he was a little bit careless with the football and was trying to do too much with the football. It's really unfortunate because Byner looked really good on that drive on the plays before. He was a very talented runner. Many Browns fans feel like this fumble somehow cursed their organization and is responsible for their LOL worthy decades of sadness (after the move to Baltimore). It was a big moment and a big mistake, and that is often good enough for someone to call it a choke.

I wonder if the Garapollo overthrow in the SB will make it. Could be argued that it cost SF the championship.

Also Russell Wilson's interception in the SB.

Spoiler alert...he’s not. Inside the top 3 you are really looking at some of the bigger moments in NFL history. I think that many NFL fans wouldn’t even remember the Garapollo overthrow.

Also Russell Wilson's interception in the SB.

Most put that on Pete Carroll, which is why it didn’t qualify...but it we were to include coaches, that moment would have probably been top 5.

Yeah you're right. Unless you're a niners fan lol

Edit: I bet the Minnesota Miracle makes it

Good guess, but after looking a the current list I’d wonder why. The last 3 that made the cut were either in the SB or the conference championship.

#1 Should be Dave Cavaletto, the referee who was looking right at the pass interference call in the NFC championship game against the Rams there can be no other choke master
