Wild Card Weekend: Top 5 Memorable Wild Card Moments

This being NFL Wild Card weekend. NCV takes you back to some of the most memorable moments in Wild Card history. These moments are still in a lot of our minds and we thought these moments would get you excited for the playoff games today and tomorrow. So here's the top 5...

5. 2006 Cowboys at Seahawks: The Cowboys just scored a touchdown in the final minutes of the game and just needed an extra point to tie the game and send it to OT, and then Tony Romo stamps his name in NFL history as the biggest goat of the game by bobbling the snap. I manage to find a fan video of the botched snap...



4. 2003 Seahawks at Packers: The game goes to OT tied at 27. Seattle QB Matt Hasslebeck on the coin toss makes a ballsy call... And what happens next is history.



3. 2000 Bills at Titans: Dubbed The Music City Miracle. The Buffalo Bills apparently kicked their way onto victory at hostile Tennessee. All they needed to do is secure the kickoff and they advance. The result? One of the most amazing endings in history.


2. 1998 Packers at 49ers: The Packers had beaten the Niners 3 straight times in the playoffs. Antonio Freeman had just scored to give the Packers a 27-23. Steve Young drove the Niners to inside the the Packer 30 yard line and all you hear is... OWENS OWENS OWENS!!!



1. 1992 Oilers at Bills: The Greatest Comeback in NFL History. Houston was penciled in the 2nd round. Up 35-3 against mighty Buffalo. No Jim Kelly. But sheer amazingness happened in the second half. Outscoring Houston 38-3 in the second half with Steve Christie booting one through the uprights for the win.
