[Highlight] Every team's WORST play of the 2024 season
Discussion
I'm so glad I'll get to see that play 4-5 times a year for the next 10-15 years.
Honestly it was hard to choose between that and the thanksgiving disaster.
Getting a field goal blocked as time expired to lose by 2 to your hated rivals at home is somehow the clear bronze medal
Your 2024 Chicago Bears!!
I miss the double doink.
Nah fuck the double doink. It was the playoffs so it felt worse and “double doink” has become synonymous with Bears thanks to Collinsworth. “Hail Mary” isn’t necessarily associated with Bears alone.
The double doink also broke Nagy lol.
This shit seemed to kill the whole team. How many straight did we lose after this?
I'm an idiot. I was like oh I wonder what play they'll pick for us. Then the first second of the clip rolled and I had nam style flashbacks. I guess my brain has already begun to suppress that game
Think about it though we win that game we might still be stuck with eberflus
Wow I’m not close to done and these are all SO horrible lol
Great video.
EDIT: OK there are at least 2-3 teams that must have worse plays. Still great though.
The browns one was hilarious but you can't tell me there's not a funnier Watson lowlight in there somewhere
I think it's because of the instant karma.
Kadarius Toney's statline:
4 returns, 44 yards, 1 FUM, 1x 15 Yard Taunting Penalty.
Believe it or not, I couldn't really find one, the Browns were so bad that they weren't even funny (I had the same problem with my own team)
Baltimore DEFINITELY had worse plays, but few more painful.
Edit: oh my, they did the full Bears cut -- both angles lmao!! Unfortunately, they cut the best part from the commentator:
"He did it! Oh, this one will played back over and over again for decades"
ahahaha
That Ravens one is maybe the single most painful to watch in the whole batch, given the circumstances and what Andrews had already done to that point.
Then again, Andrews dropping a short pass on a 2pt conversion is a movie the Ravens have seen before.
our real 'worst play' is the the MNF game vs Tampa where we threw a backwards pass to Zay and got returned for a TD (or almost a TD) I think
Or the time we lost to the Raiders
I couldn't believe the Chiefs' play was something other than the Cooper DeJean pick six
I thought so too until I realized that was the same play where Mahomes murdered his WR1 for the season lmao
The DeJean one was more of a shock in the moment, the injury to Rice was more of a “damn :/“
Lmao it's definitely a fair choice, I was just thinking about plays that wreaked utter moral destruction and I figured the Super Bowl pick would be the worst. Obviously I have no experience with watching my team play in Super Bowls though so it was pure projection on my part
It’s hard to top throwing a pick and then destroying your wr1s knee tryna tackle the dude that picked you off
The Eagles one is the weakest one in here too.
True but it’s literally a play that lost them the game. Barkley catches it, gets a first down and the game is over. He dropped it, stopped the clock, and Atlanta drove to win. It was gonna be between that and Smith with a similar drop later in the season with Pickett starting
It’s the worst because of context, not the actual play.
Similar to how a few years ago the browns worst play would’ve been Nick Chubb scoring a TD, because if he had gone down they win and instead the jets scored two tds in under 2 mins and won the game 😂
The Giants one was a surprise. No way an incomplete pass is the worst play of their season.
The Steelers one is very accurate though.
I think the Giants one is in there because it's wrong on every level from idea to execution. Not necessarily the most drastic to the season, but just all around terrible.
also the giants didn't really do a whole lot of funny things this season. you have to at least climb somewhere in order to fall spectacularly and the giants didn't even get up off the ground
i did consider them letting Joe Burrow run 60 yards unimpeded into the end zone
The Eagles one is the most meh.
At least the Giants one is funny. Seeing some super 4D chess play just completely fail because the players don’t know what’s going on is always amusing.
We gave up a TD vs Washington where we had 12 men on defense, so Slay tried to run off, leaving his WR completely uncovered for a free TD. And he didn’t even get off the field in time.
Now that would be a good one!
It was the same game CJGJ got ejected for running his mouth lol
Tua 💀
Tua running head first into Hamlins chest probably had nfl execs shitting their pants
Like a piece of fine china being hurled at a mirror.
at a Fine China Mirror at that
All us Fins fans knew which play it'd be.
There was about 3 or 4 plays from that game alone that would have qualified.
Really impressive editing by OP to show us the first-person view for Tua right after that play.
6:40 for anyone who cares.
I swear the play lasted 14 seconds in my head. I could see it all happening in slow motion, and l knew the second he lowered his shoulder our season was over.
I was looking forward to see the Dolphins play in Seattle a few weeks later, so my immediate reaction was yelling 'Fuck!' because I knew Tua was going to be out.
I ended up flying across the country to see Jason Sanders kick a field goal in Seattle.
Had to make a lot of judgment calls here, I tried to make sure every play was both stupid and painful, Jags getting hurdled backwards by Saquon is painful but not stupid (wtf are you gonna do about that), Kenny Pickett throwing into the ground is stupid but not painful (backup QB in a meaningless game, who cares)
I felt strongly that the Bears worst play was letting the clock run out on Thanksgiving but the actual Bears fans disagreed. Plus, I wanted defense to get a look, though it would have been funny for the Bengals to be the only defense bad enough to make the video
Jags getting hurdled backwards by Saquon is painful but not stupid (wtf are you gonna do about that)
Especially considering that, aside from obviously being cool as hell, it really didn't change much in the overarching scheme of the game or season. He got tackled a few yards later, and we ended up holding the Eagles to a FG there.
That Etienne fumble, meanwhile, legit felt like it set the course for our season. Generally playing alright enough, only to self-sabotage at the crucial moments and losing by a single score in the process. I don't think we were ever going to be good last year in retrospect (me at the time thought differently, but that me was an idiot), but I do feel like that week 1 collapse really just set the tone for our entire season.
I don't blame Etienne for fumbling there because that was just good play by the defense, but damn if that wasn't one of those moments where your heart drops, especially when the following play was an 80 yard TD to Tyreek Hill when we'd mostly done alright against their offense up to that point.
Yeah the difference between 24-7 and 17-14 is insane.
Bro: the text on Bryce's INT was unnecessary. LMAO. We're already dead!
Turned out that version of Bryce was just bugged. We just had to reboot him! Now he's workin fine.
“Have you tried turning him off and back on again?”
“That worked! Thank you. Please go ahead and cancel the warranty claim.”
Agree with you on the Bears one. Maybe about 20 people around the TV, most not even interested in football, and even the wives and kids were going crazy.
The only Bears fan in the room didn't say a word. Just stood up and walked out.
I feel very strongly that the Bears had the two worst plays of the year. Thanksgiving is #1 and the Hail Maryland is #2. Nothing else on this list comes close
I love being a football fan
You did an exceptional job with all but the giants. Should have played the hard knocks clip of the owner telling the GM he’ll die if Saquon went to the Eagles and won a SB.
I would say Levi Wallace leaving Jerry Judy wide open for that 80yd TD was worse. The blocked field goal hurt like a mfer, but that was more the Chiefs wanting it more. Jeudy torched Wallace that night. Otherwise great vid.
That trick play call just pissed me off all over again.
Deflated my energy when I saw Josh get rocked like that
I knew right away that was the play. Total momentum killer and Josh got absolutely demolished on that play. One of the worst calls by Brady since he took over.
Too many people missed the fun trick plays like when Smoke threw it to Josh. Brady wanted to make us never hope for a trick play ever again.
Agreed
Fitting that our worst plays were against each other
That Pitts play was horrendous holy shit. Should’ve been an easy catch.
Penix's 1st INT
I want a stat that's earned INTs, so things like that don't count against a QB
Don’t turnover worth plays count this to a degree? Even if there is a turnover it doesn’t necessarily count there right?
I could be wrong
It also counts things like defenders dropping INTs though
As it should.
You dont give the qb a pass because he threw it right at the do but he has stone hands.
Then you’d have to have an inverse stat that shows how many times a defender misses an easy INT
Combining the two gets you to “turnover worthy plays” from PFF
Will be difficult to track but shit like this shouldn't be counted towards qb stats.
It really should be Pitts’ first INT.
Definitely not his first
That was dumb, but the Falcons easily had 10 other worse plays.
Yeah I was expecting any play during the games Kirk was injured tbh.
As bad it was, it absolutely was not our worst play of the year
I had forgotten about that Love throw in the end zone… Lord to this day I don’t think he himself knew what he was trying to do
This was a the best worst play of all imho
Probably one of the strongest examples “well I know which play it’s gonna be for our team”
I honestly thought it was gonna be the pick 6 at home against Detroit.
We still won the game at least
Kyle Pitts was playing hot potato instead of football
this is why Ronnie Bell isn't on the team any more
With CMC, Kittle, Deebo, and Ricky out that day, Ronnie Bell still couldn’t find a way to make a positive impact on the game in any way. I know he was only a 7th round pick, but that play is still completely unacceptable for any NFL WR.
Dude JUMPED for every single catch, no matter how routine. Basically Tyler Lockett levels of giving up YAC while still taking big hits.
The jumping highlights are gold
Even his first TD catch he jumped lmao. So wild.
Ball hit him right in the hands. This is the shit Purdy was dealing with all year last year and he still gets blamed for the way the season went. Purdy was so pissed after this.
Agreed. But I would have thought our pick would be the 97 yard TD we gave up in Week 1 or 2 against Minnesota.
DIIIIIING DOOOOOOONG BELL 🔔
I know it was the last play of Derek Carr's career, but it hardly seems like the worst play the Saints had all year
It was the PI that gave Atlanta the win in week 4.
Facts
Agreed
as a ravens fan I was like, oh we had a pretty good year and Lamar balled out I wonder what it wa…. and then I died 😂
I was wondering what ours was going to be, when I saw it was like “Oh yeah that happened.”🙁
Get out of here with that cursed flair
[deleted]
"Oh look it's a blooper compilation, can't wait to see what wacky mishap they have for us!"
The problem is we're just good enough that our wacky mishaps get etched into other teams' promo videos for decades.
Kyren’s fumble was such a backbreaker for us. That game was so even back and forth even one mistake felt could decide a game even that early.
Kyren reminds me of a young Tiki, with his fumble problems
Also a Rams fan. Can’t expect to win a ball game letting a dude run 200+ yards on you. Twice.
Absolutely. Lapses in run defense, albeit against the best player in the league didn’t help.
Kyren fumbling at inopportune times don’t help either. I think he had 6 on the year if I remember correctly.
Only team who didn’t get the absolute shit kicked out of them by Philly
I mean they did in the regular season lol
He’s gotta hold the ball in that situation for sure.
But trying to hold on to a football with Jalen Carter punching you would be oh so difficult
Yoo Jalen Carter has been a fucking bully and I love it. He literally punched Mahomes in the SB like wtf 😂
I knew which one it would be for the Broncos and it still tears me up. We did everything right to comeback and win in KC. One lineman half asses his assignment and we lose. Hate it
I was thinking it was going to be one of Bo’s early interceptions. Then it started and I remembered why I blocked that play out of my mind.
“blocked” you say…
I was so mad. I am a new football fan, have become a full on Canadian Boliever, was watching that game with three Chiefs fans. I can’t wait to see a rematch.
The Kelce bros talked about that on their podcast. They both basically said that particular spot on the OL in special teams plays is just asked to “survive” as long as possible. They say it’s easily the worst single position to be on in football.
Take it for what you will as they could have been being diplomatic and covering for him, but if they’re to be believed, I’m not sure you could say that guy was half assing.
Before pressing play, I knew it would be the “for some reason trust Jamo to throw the ball” play.
I thought it might be the stupid INT Goff airmailed to the Texans in the 3rd quarter after we had just gotten the interception from Stroud.
Or the pick 6 in the Washington game, when that happened I knew we were losing. Just like the previous year I knew on the Vildor face mask bounce we were losing.
Nice to see how many of these plays the Commanders are in. I wouldnt have even cared that much about our own play if it wasnt against the Cowboys
Why I love that play is y’all we’re definitely going to beat us if we went to OT. We went up early with a good gameplan but no way after adjustments were we gonna win that in OT. I thought it was gonna be over with about 3 minutes left when we got the ball back “Surely a 3 and out and y’all win” and then Turpin took one to the house.
Also had realtime consequences as that very well could’ve cause y’all to miss the playoffs, but credit where it’s due you beat Atlanta and the rest it history
Yeah that’s a fair pick lol
I probably would've picked the INT in the other Seahawks game that ended our season but yeah, this one was awful too.
Man it looks like Mahomes comes in harder and faster (giggity) every time I rewatch this video.
He fucking SMOKED Rashee
At first I was confused why they didn't show the dejean pick 6... Then I remembered that play
That one was like a kick to the nuts into a solid jab (Literally the entire 50+ person room I was in was in eagles jerseys too)
This one was like getting hit by a car (or a 225 pound man diving in at mach jesus)
MaHamas destroying our receiving corps smh
Guys dropping the football right before crossing the goal line will never not be funny.
The ol’ “Desean Jackson”
Taylor dropping the ball at the goal line shifted that game in such a major way
Yep. I knew that would be the play for the Colts. Went from completely dominating that game to being completely dominated.
game
Season*
The Mark Andrews play and the infamous Washington Bears last play.
Every NFL junkie remembers.
Aaand the Jordan Love throw.
I watch more football than I thought.
Me: “It’s gonna be that Russel Wilson fumble, isn’t it?”
<checks video>
“Yep.”
Bills and Ravens worst plays being against each other is just poetic.
Except yours was just an early season miscommunication, ours was a brutal season ender 😞
I refuse to watch, but it has to be either the Washington Hail Mary or the ending of the Thanksgiving game at Detroit, where our brilliant coach left a timeout in his pocket.
Could make a good argument that those are #1 and #2 worst plays across the board last season. Very impressive
We also got a field goal blocked as time expired to lose by 2 to our biggest rivals at home
Not to brag but, as a Miami fan, I can confidently say Miami had even worse plays than the one where Tua died. See basically every game before he came back.
I think the Colts/Dolphins or Titans/Dolphins game easily has 32 highlights worse than all the other teams’ worst plays. Some of the most painful football I’ve ever watched in my life.
That’s the point. This dumb play lead to those games.
Normally, the editor notes with these highlight reels annoy me, but these were mostly good context that elevated the video when it otherwise might not be obvious why the play was bad.
Blacking out Tua was my only critique.
Good job editor!
Editor just wanted to give a POV from Tua.
That’s what I thought he was trying to do hahaha
That's what I thought the joke was, but then it wasn't.
Tua running head first into Damar Hamlin's chest and concussing himself was a murder-suicide special.
This is awful. I love it.
I remember SCREAMING at the TV after Tua went head first into another concussion.
That botched snap by the a Raiders against the Chiefs as time expired still makes me bawl like a baby.
I can confirm I completely lost my shit at this
That Giants play call gets me every time 😂
The Barkley drop against Atlanta cost the birds the game. But I was expecting this Kenny Pickett throw to be in the cut.
I love this one because it looks like the ball became 1000lbs in an instant and flung him down with it
I was expecting that Saquon “fumble” against the Jags. However this play and the Devonta drop against the commanders basically cost us 2 of the 3 games we lost this season.
To be fair, it didn't cost us the game but it would have sealed it.
The defense allowing the corpse of Kirk Cousins to march down the field in under 90 seconds and score a touchdown is much worse.
Denvers worst play was more like KC's best play.
And it had been happening for several games before that. If we don’t line up on that hash we probably make the kick (since it happened in a prior game). A hard fail on the coaches part.
There's a reason why we cleaned house in the special teams coaching department
the commanders cowboys game was so stupid.
End of the 3rd score: 10-9 Dallas
Score with 3:03 left in the game: 20-9 Dallas
Final Score: 34-26 Dallas
41 points scored in the 4th quarter with 31 of them coming in essentially the last 3 minutes which included an 86 yard TD pass, a missed PAT, a 99 yd kick off return, and a 43 yd onside kickoff return lol
levis had like 30 plays worse than most of these
Will Levis was such fun to watch for all the wrong reasons.
But the surrender cobra is hands down the funniest
Tyrique lol
I feel like the clip should just follow him inexplicably shouting at the crowd while the play starts, then running over just to be the one that tips the ball directly to the receiver. They would've won the game if he had just walked into the tunnel before the play.
I dunno man, letting Burrow somehow get a, what? 60 yard rushing TD? That was pretty fucking abysmal
Fuck you for making me watch that again
Nice we have three good ones
Houston was just their O lineman stripping the QB
Love the anecdote on the panthers one
I love Brady’s reaction to JW’s throw like “no….. just no”
The Vikings one could have been the same game and the same situation, but Sam overthrowing Jefferson as JJ beat the defender towards the back corner.
I wondered which boneheaded move of levis’ made the list. The first one wouldn’t have been my choice but it was a monumental!
No this was the one. Lots of options but this was the one.
The Steelers season really collapsed after that Russell fumble. It was one bad play after another starting from that moment and things never really got better.
Just completely sapped the joy out of what had been a very good season thus far
Huh. Ours wasn’t actually all that bad.
As a singular post we had worse but it represented that shit game well
I'm not disagreeing with the Titans' pick, that one is correct. There were plays like that almost every week, tho.
Can we get a Top 32 worst Will Levis plays of 2024?
I knew what it was before it came on my screen.
Remember, many times your team's worst play is another team's best play.
- Deuteronomy
Great video! Honestly loved it.
My only recommendation is TB sending out Chris Godwin in garbage time to destroy his ankle and miss the rest of the season
A nice reminder that even though these guys are elite athletes they're still prone to catastrophic mistakes every once in a while.
A lot of these plays were brutal. Like they would really ruin the rest of your day after watching it.
I don’t need to watch this to know what the Bears one is.
I’m arguing that the chiefs worst play was the pick 6 in the superbowl
No, it was definitely the play selected. That injury set the offense back tremendously, and who knows what the season looks like with a healthy Rice. And the throw, eee gods that was dreadful
Yeah, the DeJean pick 6 was worse in a vacuum than the Mahomes INT, but coupling in Mahomes laying the boom on our WR1s knee and knocking him out for the season makes that play take the cake.
Tua's one was like watching a car crash where the guy drives into a tree. Painful to watch.
i had a feeling about that falcons game because every single time there’s too much attention or stuff going on, we always find a way to lose.
i think that week it was nick foles night AND it was a media frenzy cause it was jason kelce’s first time watching them play as an ESPN employee.
that’s why I won’t be surprised if we end up losing opening/banner drop night cause it would just be on brand for us 😔
Oof the Jags one, that set the tone for the rest of the season
Colts had two potential picks from the same game lol, that bonitto pick six had me dying when it happened
I knew it was going to be that Kyle Pitts play before I even started watching
The Tyrique Stevenson idiotic play was huge. The Bears never really recovered the rest of the season. They suffered a 9-10 game losing streak which was barely broken on the final game of the Caleb Williams rookie season.
I know the reason the Chiefs play is because of Mahomes taking out his WR, but damn that throw was ass lol
I went into this thinking it would be the timeout debacle, because I guess my brain blocked out this play. I got mad.
Every once in a while you see a play like these happen and you turn off the TV and you enjoy the rest of your Sunday. Happens to all fan bases.
At least I got to see one of my team's best plays as well.
Tbh I expected Big Cats interception to be the Jets worst play.
Same, but there is something especially disgusting about the D-Jax special. You'd think players would learn to celebrate after they're in the end zone.
I can't believe we got 2 of these in the same season
Same with the hail mary
Any further replays of said play need to include a P-I-P of Tyrique Stevenson jawing at the fans.
And it’s pretty telling when my predictive text fills in “Tyrique Stevenson”.
"Football is stupid I don't know why I even waste my time watching this stupid sport"
Right back at it next Sunday
Bold of you to assume most of us would skip Monday and Thursday football.
I for one am a sucker for punishment and will spend my time getting upset a team I don't even root for is fucking up in primetime.
ew Titans Jags Thursday....
watches it religiously anyways
Win or lose, usually after the Broncos play I will still watch the games after or redzone on my Sundays. When we got blocked by the Chiefs I turned it off, and didn’t think about football for a few days. Like you said though that happens every year once or twice.
I think that Hawks/Giants game where they hopped over the center and score a pick 6 to end the game was the angriest i got in years watching a NFL game
Then in Week 17 when the Cardinals dominated the Rams the entire game then completely sold it at the last second that got the Seahawks eliminated
There was also a couple other games where JSN would make a ton of elite plays to go all the way to the endzone then right when we get a chance to win the game Geno would throw an Interception
And if only one of those went right Seahawks would've won the division
And Geno would always give that face like they ran the wrong route…
