A pass over 70 yards that lands exactly where it's supposed to. Players linking up perfectly at breakneck speeds. A last ditch risky tackle with the tip of a toe. The excitement of watching a team desperately trying to hold on to a lead on their last legs. All of that has substance. Watching a sport purely for the scoreline seems incredibly superficial to me. Yeah, but if the 70 yard pass is then succeeded by an interception, the excitement of the pass kind of dissipates. There are great, amazing plays that will be forever forgotten because they ultimately went nowhere. Like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSirjCbbP1c Amazing. Pure football on all levels. But ultimately forgotten due to it being wholly overshadowed by the end result. Nobody really remembers that play. It will go down in compilations of "great plays that went nowhere/were meaningless" but it will never carry the insanity excitement of stuff like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJzpoj_NxqQ This would have gone down as yet another Vikings heartbreaking playoff loss, if it had gone differently. But because it was capped off with being the walkoff score to win, it will forever be remembered as a top NFL moment ... Copied to Clipboard! |
