Ahmad Bradshaw's Accidental TD and the 10 Biggest Bloopers in NFL History

Thank you Ahmad Bradshaw for creating an instant NFL blooper that will be remembered in Super Bowl lore for all time.

Throughout the history of the NFL there have been countless football follies that have shaped a funny side of the game. In honor of Bradshaw's moment, here are the 10 of the best bloopers in NFL history.

Ahmad Bradshaw's Accidental TD

We just saw it and can you imagine if the New England Patriots would have won Super Bowl XLVI?

All criticism would be pointing to Bradshaw scoring too early. The Giants could have ran off another 30-plus seconds.

Fortunately for Ahmad, the Giants defense held on just enough to win over Tom Brady once again, this time 21-17.

Jim Marshall Does the Safety Dance... on Himself

To be straight forward, Jim Marshall ran straight forward in the wrong direction.

Unfortunately, the Minnesota Vikings legend will be remembered for this, rather than his 282 consecutive games played and 270 consecutive starts.

What's also ironic about Marshall returning a fumble for a safety, is that he is the career all-time NFL record holder in opponent's fumbles recovered.

Hilarious.

Garo Yepremian Plays Volleyball with a Football

It was the fake field-goal pass that wasn't suppose to happen.

And that's really the most leeway you can give Miami Dolphins kicker Garo Yepremian. The kick was blocked, Garo picked it up and tried to toss it downfield.

However, the ball had other ideas and slipped from Yepremian's grasp. He then bats it into the air and the rest is history.

Gus Frerotte Head Bangs a Wall and Loses

For anyone who has plans of punching, kicking or head butting a wall out of spite, enthusiasm, anger and/or celebration—don't do it.

Washington Redskins quarterback Gus Frerotte teaches us this valuable life lesson by demonstrating how to injure oneself for no reason.

Yes, he scored a touchdown. But why not just spike the rock into the ground like normal? Live and learn, right?

Ladies and Gentlemen, Leon Lett

On Thanksgiving Day, the Dallas Cowboys and Miami Dolphins game came down to a field-goal. Long story short, the Dolphins won thanks to Leon Lett's ineptitude that was comparable to his pre-touchdown showboating flop in the previous Super Bowl.

There, in Super Bowl XXVII against the Buffalo Bills, the Cowboys already had the game won and Lett was taking a fumble back for six points.

For some reason he slows down, celebrates too early and Don Beebe knocks the ball loose for a touchback. Luckily for Lett's sake, Big D took home the Lombardi Trophy.

Sean Landeta Swings and Misses

Watch the first couple minutes of the video and you'll see Giants kicker Sean Landeta attempt to punt.

As Landeta drops the ball to punt it, he simply swings, misses and the Chicago Bears scoop it up for six points.

However, the only good news to come from this is that New York didn't have a chance at winning against the '85 Bears anyway. So this NFL flop goes more unnoticed than it should thanks to the Chicago's dominance that postseason.

Miracle at the Meadowlands

This is why when you're winning, you take a knee and end the game.

But instead, Giants quarterback Joe Pisarcik fumbles and Philadelphia Eagles defensive back Herman Edwards scoops and scores for a touchdown.

Years later the Giants were again victims of a second Miracle in the Meadowlands courtesy of the Eagles and DeSean Jackson. Apparently, with success comes the karma of numerous follies.

The Holy Roller

The Holy Roller is of a controversial call than a blooper. If it had it been ruled an incomplete pass, the The Holy Roller wouldn't exist.

Fortunately for the sake of NFL flops, Oakland Raiders quarterback Ken Stabler's pass was ruled a fumble and the San Diego Chargers lost as time expired.

With so much chaos happening on one play, divine intervention seems the only plausible explanation behind this legendary folly.

The Immaculate Reception

Much like the Holy Roller, had the Immaculate Reception been ruled an illegal catch (rules were different in 1972), we wouldn't have a controversial call or historical NFL blooper.

And for anyone who wants to debate the call, the physics behind it are considered true.

In an article by Byron Spice of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Carnegie Mellon physics professor John Fetkovich explains it:

"

By slowing the tape, Fetkovich could see that the ball had already rebounded by the time the collision occurred.

"That's critical," he said, because if the two collided before the ball hit, they would have already exchanged momentum and made the analysis more difficult. But since the ball hit a player before the collision, then only that player's momentum would have been transferred to the ball.

"

Can't argue with physics, right?

Archie Manning's 32-Yard Fumble

Begin watching the video at the 3:25 mark all you'll Archie Manning's 32-yard fumble.

It's one of the quarterback's few memories, as he was the only legit player on many horrible teams. So for his sake, at least Peyton and Eli have endured success.

Here, Archie and the New Orleans Saints are about to score a touchdown. Manning fumbles inches from the goal-line. Then mass hysteria ensues and a panic scramble to recover the most odd-shaped ball in all of sports begins.
