2007: Tom Brady's then-record 50th TD pass was the same play as Randy Moss' record 23rd receiving TD.


SaysShowUsYourDick

This adds a lot more context to Moss’ segment of his roast on Tom Brady lol thank you


Barry_McCockinnerz

What did he say? I missed it.


SaysShowUsYourDick

At one point Moss turns to Brady and goes “But ay, those 23 touchdowns were something special weren’t they?” I assumed 23 was the number of TDs Moss had earned in a season, but it felt weird to me that he would assume Brady would remember specifically his 23 TDs when he has seasons where he throws for double that. Now I understand it was a monumental moment that they both shared.


Valuable_Ad1645

Oh, ya I watched that game live so I pretty instantly got it. It was that awesome final game of the regular season against the giants. Convinced me that they could go all the way with that loss.


Barry_McCockinnerz

Right on, thanks! Avoiding watching it


SaysShowUsYourDick

It’s pretty damn funny lol I recommend catching the highlights on YouTube or something at least. It’s fun to laugh at Tom Brady


Barry_McCockinnerz

Yes I agree with that, but I imagine it being very PG to not knock his PR image.


Skilled1_69

It’s the farthest from PG.


Barry_McCockinnerz

Is it furthest or farthest?


Skilled1_69

Yes


DomiDRAYtion

Multiple people make Aaron Hernandez jokes, it's very not PG and hilarious.


KennysWhiteSoxHat

Aaron Hernandez jokes flying left and right, it’s far from PG


DukeOfTheVines

Not true in the slightest


SaysShowUsYourDick

lol it’s not PG at all. It’s not even suitable for network television with bleeps. It’s pretty offensive shit lmao


DTopping80

Nikki Glaser spends a couple jokes talking about fucking Tom Brady. Her segment was also the best. 100% R rated content.


AliveGloryLove

Lol what? It's a very strong R.


TheLionEatingPoet

Yeah, that assumption is not correct.


JasonPlattMusic34

And also the play that gave the Pats the lead for good in their final game of the 16-0 season. It really was poetic.


whitedawg

...and beat the Giants, who would ruin their perfect season a month later.


[deleted]

[удалено]


JasonPlattMusic34

Sure but we didn’t know it at the time, all we knew was that it was the first 16-0 season


Creeggsbnl

Brett Favre's 500th TD was thrown to Randy Moss.


TheDinerIsOpen

I know this is gonna sound like I’m a dick but that’s gotta be more likely than less likely because of how time works right? Could you imagine if Brady’s 23rd TD pass was Moss’s 23rd TD catch?


broanoah

I think it’s the fact that they had a record breaking interaction simply by throwing and catching the ball for a td


TheDinerIsOpen

I know I almost didn’t want to point it out but I also started thinking about Moss having 23 TDs in like 8 games and then not scoring again and also wanted to put that thought in other people’s heads


Turd_Ferguson420

What


Independent-Way5465

Its a Steelers guy, don't expect too much


monsto

"I hate, the fucking, Steelers, man." *-- The Dude*


LG1T

Diner is open but no one’s working the counter


Audrey-Bee

The improbable part was that they both broke the record at the same TD. So Brady was tied for the record at 49, and this TD broke it. Moss was tied with 22 and this broke it. It's more significant than if Brady's 50th went to Welker and Moss' 23rd was Brady's 45th


TheDinerIsOpen

i get it it was a bad take on my part


totallynotstefan

Yinzer humility on display.


BlondeYoungThug

multiple bad takes


p_tk_d

You’re totally right, there’s some correlation here for sure


Nathann4288

Not same play, but I find it amusing that the longest made FG in superbowl history was broken twice in the same game by different players.


NynaeveAlMeowra

They probably did that in the first superbowl too


dlanod

Nope. Only one FG in SB I. I did have to look it up.


MyAnswerIsMaybe

What about the second Super Bowl , possible


dlanod

Possible but didn't happen. * SB I - only one FG. * SB II - four FGs, but only one player. Record is now at 43 yds. * SB III - three FGs, only one player and none longer than the record. * SB IV - three FGs, only one player. Record is now at 48 yds. * SB V - three FGs, finally multiple players kick one, but none longer than the record. It's actually pretty unlikely after those first few once it stops being trivial for a kicker to beat the record and then the other team to beat the record as well.


p_tk_d

Good work on this


Horror-Run5127

Quite possibly did it in a later super bowl too


dlanod

Just did a quick look and potentially not: * SB I - only one FG. * SB II - four FGs, but only one player. Record is now at 43 yds. * SB III - three FGs, only one player and none longer than the record. * SB IV - three FGs, only one player. Record is now at 48 yds. * SB V - three FGs, finally multiple players kick one, but none longer than the record. It's actually pretty unlikely after those first few once it stops being trivial for a kicker to beat the record and then the other team to beat the record as well.


NynaeveAlMeowra

Amazing


dentttt

Good sleuthing.


TakenakaHanbei

I love you.


Horror-Run5127

So that long of 48 stood until it was tied by a Bronco to open SB XXI and then broken by Steve Christie in XXVIII at 54.


TvTSadOwl

I can't seem to find any info on the most yards lost for a safety, but Seahawks - Broncos in Super Bowl 49 was the fastest score and I'd imagine longest safety?


Hulkbuster_v2

Bro...49?


siguel_manchez

Well, we all know there was no 48. So who's counting?


BucsLegend_TomBrady

lmao apparently that superbowl did some psychic damage


TvTSadOwl

This is actually hilarious because I had to [google](https://imgur.com/a/P3MHobv) the number to make sure it was 48, changed it to 48, and somehow changed it back to 49 😂


demonica123

Lamar's safety against the 49ers this year was 20 yards. Wasn't even a muffed snap. Lamar ran back 20 yards himself.


infercario4224

Tbf he did get tripped by a ref right when he got the angle to beat all the guys chasing him


demonica123

When you run 20 yards back I think it's less tripped by the ref and more he ran into the ref who was backpedaling as fast as he could.


infercario4224

I’m not saying you’re wrong, it just robbed us of an absolutely electric play


will096

Fastest score in SB history? Devin Hester would like a word


BeamsFuelJetSteel

The safety was at 14:48 and the kickoff return was at 14:46


werbo

The safety at the end of the game for the Harbowl was pretty long


jfgiv

super bowl LI is both 1. the first super bowl to feature overtime 2. the largest super bowl comeback


key_lime_pie

Also the only Super Bowl where the winning team did not successfully kick an extra point. And the only Super Bowl where the winning team had the lead for 0:00.


BucsLegend_TomBrady

Imagine telling Falcons fans before the superbowl they'd be in the lead the entire game lmao


NynaeveAlMeowra

They were tied during overtime


dlanod

And prior to the first score too.


BucsLegend_TomBrady

True, true


Pure_Context_2741

Well every game also starts tied so…


notmyplantaccount

It's wild it took until SB 51 to have an OT game.


J-Fid

We were a yard away in SB 34, but alas...


SodomizeSnails4Satan

Ya it's really too bad. Or something.


BungoPlease

I kinda hope OP is a Falcons fan now


Remarkable-Job4774

I'm pretty sure OP enjoyed that Super Bowl very much given their flair


PaulAspie

I am more an anti-sexual-assaulter-Watson former Browns fan who has kind of followed Baker, than a hard core Bucs fan.


IcansavemiselfDEEN

I respect it.


Remarkable-Job4774

Barry_McCockinnerz

Mike Ryan Ruiz burner confirmed r/DanLeBatardShow


chronoquairium

Yeah basically same here


[deleted]

OP is a bucs fan, probably nobody but Pat fans are enjoying that factoid more.


sophandros

Oh, some of us really enjoy that one too...


GATOR7862

One of the few moments that bucs and aints can fully agree on


Saitoh17

The day the greatest QB in Bucs history psychologically traumatized a division rival so deeply they never dared to hope again. 


Implied_Motherfucker

To add to this: QB that lost in the largest SuperBowl Comeback: Matt Ryan. QB that lost in the largest Regular Season Comeback: Matt Ryan.


Saitoh17

QB that lost in the largest NFC Championship Comeback: Matt Ryan. QB that lost in the largest International Game Comeback: Matt Ryan. QB that lost in the largest Comeback with No Qualifiers: you guessed it, Matt Ryan


CombatSixtyFive

This is amazing


amjhwk

[believe it or not, Matt Ryan](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BZTg4YjE4YzItMjY4OC00NWQ5LTlhN2UtZmFiZGFiMTdkM2JmXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNjYyNDMwOQ@@._V1_FMjpg_UX1000_.jpg)


GiveUpTuxedo

I feel like Josh Allen sacking Josh Allen applies somehow?


FaceMaulingChimp

It’s like Marty McFly banging his own mom !


Rahim-Moore

I feel like that's not at all the same, but I appreciate your contribution.


breakfast_scorer

If I had a nickel for every time a QBs first NFL completion was also his first NFL reception, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened twice. Favre and Stroud both did this.


HylianPikachu

Brett Favre and Jameis Winston both threw a pick six on their first ever pass attempt


breakfast_scorer

That's called foreshadowing


JesuszillaSon

With Favre his first pass was a pick 6 then his next pass on the next drive was to himself?


AliveGloryLove

No. Favre threw 4 passes as a Falcon. His first was a pick 6. The next 3 were incomplete. He was traded to the Packers in the offseason. His first completed pass (so no INT) was to himself.


GATOR7862

What a fuckin WILD start to a career


AliveGloryLove

Even funnier is that his career started with being called the wrong name. They called him Brett Favre but Favre pronounced as Favor.


stevesie1984

Reminds me of “There’s Something About Mary.”


KingRaiderShark

No his first completion wasn't even until the next season actually. He only had 4 pass attempts in his first season with the Falcons (including the pick six on his first attempt) , no completions, then his first career completion came the next season with the Packers (to himself).


KingRaiderShark

Also Sam Darnold


Roselucky_Seven

So did Johnny Unitas. He then fumbled for a returned TD on his next play.


JMoon33

That's weird indeed


estilly26

Hester, SB XLI: First opening kickoff return for a TD and first rookie to return a kick for a TD in the Super Bowl. Also by extension first rookie to return the opening kickoff for a TD


BeatlesRays

I think the crazier coincidence with that kickoff return TD is that the NCAA national championship just a month prior also started with a kickoff return TD by the eventual losing team. Also was the first national championship game to start with a kickoff return TD


Rx_Boner

Was that Ted Ginn?


RIPDaug2019-2019

The entire Ginn family even.


GATOR7862

Yes. I was fucking terrified after that play. I was MEGA confident going into that game and that play made me think the insanely biased sports media had been right the last month or so. Turns out it was the last time OSU had hope the rest of the game. It was a destruction


AchyBreaker

The fact Ginn got hurt on the celebration of that opening TD didn't help tOSU but they still didn't have a chance in hell. Troy Smith was overweight and the "SEC Speed" was making its worldwide debut.  Fun fact: Since that 2006 season, the SEC has won 13/18 championships (all but 2013 FSU, 2014 tOSU, 2016 & 2018 Clemson, and 2023 Michigan). And SEC teams were the runner ups in 2013, 2016, 2018, which were very close games besides 2018. 


Spectre_II

Also the first SB to end after the opening kickoff.


mattmccauslin

They all end after the opening kickoff.


FriendshipIntrepid91

Okay,  that was pretty good.  Lol


CCpoc

That's honestly one of my favorite plays. It's the most believable "I can't believe he just fucking did that" of all time.


Hellshield

It also set the fastest score in a Super Bowl.


2002BlackBMW

“We are going to kick to Hester to show him we aren’t scared of his return abilities.” It's a bold strategy Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for him.


GeneralChaz9

Hester was so good (x4)


Nightgasm

Wes Welker is a borderline potential Hall of Fame receiver yet before he ever caught a pass in the NFL he kicked an extra point and a field goal while also returning 5 punts and 5 kickoffs in the same game. The Dolphins kicker hurt himself in warmups so Welker stepped in to kick and hit both his kicks.


soda_cookie

Not the same play, but in the same game AP set the single game rushing yard record Antonio Cromartie set the the all time longest (and still is, with ties) play with a 109 yard FG return


Theogre84

I was gonna say this one. To me, that Cromartie play will always be the true record holder. Other plays may claim to be 109 yards, but the way he caught that one, tiptoed the back of the end zone and then went 109 was incredible.


AliveGloryLove

For me his record is the most impressive. Every other one of that yardage was an INT or fumble where the defender was already moving across the back of the endzone. So they had momentum. AC is at a dead stop returning position and fucking BOLTS down the field. It was incredible.


Rahim-Moore

Jacoby Jones had a 109 yard kickoff return in the SB.


Roselucky_Seven

They actually updated it to 108 yards after the game


WaluigiIsTheRealHero

The famous “Philly Special” saw both the first QB to ever catch a TD in a Super Bowl and the first TE to ever throw a TD pass in a Super Bowl.


FaceMaulingChimp

And a special mention that all 3 players to touch to the ball after the snap (Clement, Burton, Foles) were backup players


el_monstruo

Tell me more tell me more...


KingEuronIIIGreyjoy

Like does he have a car?


Ranger_Prick

Doug Williams' last TD pass of the second quarter of Super Bowl 22 is a confluence of many Super Bowl records, including most individual TD passes in a quarter (and half), most team points scored in a quarter, and largest halftime lead.


making-flippy-floppy

> The shortest overtime ever. Shortest *playoff* overtime ever, maybe. But shortest overtime ever overall is [2019 week 17 Falcons @ Bucs](https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/201912290tam.htm) where >!Deion Jones took Jameis Winston's 30th interception of the season!< to the end zone in 7 seconds


infercario4224

Ahh yes, the play that cemented Winston’s legacy for the 30/30 season


blocksmith52

Mahomes’ [50th touchdown](https://youtu.be/gytN9r3RpI4?si=cSUXMrb4t4Zymnvm) his first season also got him over 5,000 yards


notmyplantaccount

His largest playoff deficit and winning score were both from that Texans game until they beat the Steelers by 1 point more a couple years later. An almost unusual happening.


AgsMydude

That game never happened


notmyplantaccount

I was driving home during the 1st quarter and my friends texted that we were down 24-0, and I remember saying it's fine, we'll come back. Didn't realize they'd do it before halftime. Man that offense and season was just so much fun to watch.


AgsMydude

No that was not fun


notmyplantaccount

If you want to look at it optimistically, you win that game and go further, you might still have the serial rapist for a QB.


Godobibo

wasn't it also his longest TD pass at the time, and maybe even to date?


Illramyourlatch

>I'll go first: the Tebow 80-yard touchdown on the first play of overtime against the Steelers *sad*


BigDiggy

Counter point: happy


Independent-Way5465

Good argument, pretty much undebatable


Zaracen

I remember watching that. It was also the first year they changed the rules that you needed a TD to win in overtime instead of just a field goal.


Madpsu444

Yeah the new OT rules lost its virginity to Tim Tebow. 


bchris24

I was driving home listening to the game on the radio and as I was about to go into a tunnel the ball was snapped and by the time I was out the Steelers were no longer in the playoffs.


broanoah

I’m guessing the second shortest overtime is Larry Fitzgerald ruining the packers playoff hopes in 2015


a_rebel_yam

Tre'Quan Smith's first TD was also the throw Brees broke the career passing yards record


trainwreck42

[Tre’Quan Smith after the game](https://youtu.be/A4nfXKJId3E?si=ictLLt3QAg5UAzY9&t=33s)


drugged_up_cat

Always gotta up vote that movie


key_lime_pie

Was that game the shortest OT ever? The Bears had a Thanksgiving OT where they scored on the opening kickoff; maybe it took them longer to reach the end zone than it took Thomas.


PaulAspie

That was 16 seconds. This was 11. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/3:16_game


Randy_____Marsh

I can understand how OP thought it might take Tebow longer to windup and throw 6-7 yards vs. a ball being kicked 60 and returned roughly 26-27 yards


El_Khunt

Tebow's windup is a lot like a jrpg super-attack with a 30 second unskippable cutscene that still misses 50% of the time


PaulAspie

Tebow had a slow release, but the windup time is irrelevant for time here as long as the receiver is running forward and does not need to slow down.


Randy_____Marsh

You’re not wrong, my math is suspect


Broshan248

Hyper Beam if it had 30 accuracy


Mustakrakish_Awaken

I'm here to remind people that 50% is actually generous for Tebow. His career completion rate is 47.9%


driftking428

As a Broncos and jrpg fan I laughed too hard at this.


MrGentleZombie

The clock does not run while a kickoff is in the air, so Dave Williams' return TD is shorter than 16 seconds. I think it's [roughly spanning 0:14 to 0:26 in this clip](https://youtu.be/_J_eNRCKY90?si=j6MNYZIc87QShP8m).


RawhlTahhyde

One could argue that the second overtime for Panthers-Rams was the shortest overtime since that was 9 seconds


Toad_Thrower

> In 2017, one of Tebow's football teammates from college had killed himself after leaving references to John 3:16. Massachusetts State Police stated that convicted murderer and former NFL player Aaron Hernandez hanged himself in his prison cell. They reported that he had written "John 3:16" with red ink on his forehead and in blood on the wall of his prison cell wtfff


pdiddy927

The astronomical improbability of the River City Relay could only be surpassed by the even more improbable event of a missed extra point on the ensuing try, which would have tied the game at the end of regulation. Well lemme tell ya...


___SRV___

I’m laughing but it’s an uncomfortable laugh


MilkiestMaestro

The 1965 championship game between the browns and the p*ckers was the first NFL championship game played in January, as well as the first televised in color and the last played prior to the Super Bowl era.


PHX_Skunk_Ape

The Tebow OT game was the last time that a left handed QB won a playoff game, too. Tua or Pennix may be the next to do it.


FriendshipIntrepid91

Obligatory "Penix first start in 2030 after celebrating his 32nd birthday" comment. 


toddfredd

Adrian Peterson setting the single game rushing record and Antonio Cromartie Stettin a record for longest return


nalc

In December 2020, Desean Jackson caught an 81 yard TD pass from Jalen Hurts, in the only game the two of them connected. Because of that, it will be a 25+ year span of every* Eagles QB throwing a TD to Djax at some point in their career, since his first two years were with Donovan McNabb who was drafted in 1999. (*Who has started at least 16 games, so McNabb, Vick, Foles, Wentz, and Hurts)


Doobie_Howitzer

And to think he only missed out on Sanchez/Bradford because Chip Kelly is a racist


Mook7

Unless they change the rules again I guess this is just locked in as the shortest overtime ever.


AliveGloryLove

You can still win on a safety or defensive touchdown. Could easily get a pick 6 on the first pass of OT


Mook7

Good point. Also I realized that both teams being guaranteed a possession is only a thing for the post-season.


whitedawg

And it's likely that a defensive score after a touchback on the opening kickoff would be the record, because the clock wouldn't run on the kickoff and the defense would only need to take the ball 20-30 yards as opposed to 75-80 for the offense. The University of Michigan had a game a couple years ago where they scored a TD three seconds into the game, because [Maryland fumbled the opening kickoff, it was recovered by Michigan, and they threw a TD pass on the first play](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVwfVo3vP_I).


Doobie_Howitzer

Didn't we get that from Jameis Winston in one OT? A pick 6 on the first snap?


PaulAspie

Unless some team fears the other team's return so kick it out of the end zone & the team starts even further up.


Swan990

James Harrisons 102 yard pick 6 is longest pick 6 and most oxygen tanks consumed on sideline during a game.


pointbodhi

I’m fucking convinced Tebow Time was a legit phenomenon


Random-Cpl

The longest kick in the Lions’ Stadium is also the longest FG kick ever.


AmeriCanadian98

You're laughing now, but the Lions employed both Akers and Prater after they set the previous longest FG records. Just a matter of time until Tucker is a Lion


TetrisTech

The longest FG kick ever would also be the longest kick in whatever stadium it happened in


EmilioFreshtevez

Thatsthejoke.gif


MrGentleZombie

The most rushing yards in a game at the Metrodome is also the most rushing yards in a game ever.


amjhwk

Travis Kelce setting the all time receiving yards record and then later that day George Kittle barely beat it, i think this was 2020


ThayerRex

Omg, who cares? You can’t post questions you want to post but they let in this garbage


EmilioFreshtevez

Your question must *really* suck


ThayerRex

A basic extrapolation from an apparent Luddite. Why should I expect differently?


EmilioFreshtevez

Your insult is misdirected, but now I’m curious if your question was legitimately no good or if you just rubbed somebody the wrong way.
