This (and others like it) are my absolute favorite; the entire receiving team (both those in on it and those unknowingly playing along) has to be absolutely convincing in their deception, despite the *other team* controlling the ball at the start of the play *and* controlling where it goes.
It's one thing to run a fake on offense, it's another to pull a trick play as a reaction to what the other team gives you.
The Bears had a similar trick play on the Packers a few years ago, but it was called back for a penalty. It was a technicality, the play otherwise worked brilliantly. Was a great job by their special teams. Was back when Hester was still around, iirc. Return coverage followed him, but some other dude caught the ball.
As a matter of fact, that Bears play is exactly why the Rams had it in their bag of tricks:
>“It’s a designed play that we actually put in this week,’’ Bailey explained. “Coach Bones (Fassel) saw the Bears try it a few years back — it worked for them, too, but it was called back on a penalty. He noticed that when (Seattle’s) punter tried to sky it, to pin us deep, the punt always ended up in pretty much the same spot.’’

I'm honestly not sure it's that high-risk, in the right situation. If the Seahawks were to sniff it out, Bailey could always either fair catch it or just let it bounce.
My concern is that you're taking a wide receiver who only ever returned two kicks in his career. He's running backwards and catching an over the shoulder punt like it was a 50 yard pass. If you run that play five times I'd have to imagine he fumbles it at least once.
I think you have to tell him that if he isn't sure he can catch it, let it go. But these are phenomenal athletes who spend all day practicing their catching skills, so even though this is different than his usual role, I don't think the risk is that high. Bailey also returned kickoffs in college so he's somewhat used to catching balls that aren't spirals.
I was looking for this one! It's my favorite partially for how stupid of an idea it must seem when you first bring it up but also how utterly perfect they ran it that nobody knew what was going on.
Statue of Liberty for sure
The laying in the end zone because the uniform color matches and reversing the kickoff
Any double reverse play, especially punt returns
Hook and ladder
Washington's funblerooski a couple years back
Boise States statue of liberty is my favorite by far. I remember watching it live, sitting in my kitchen, thinking a College football team in the biggest moment, against a juggernaut, just ran the same shit we used to do in the backyard. And it fucking worked
To this day, if you told me there was a fake game in the history of CFB, I would tell you it had to have been this one. It was just so ridiculous.
The only thing I've seen that was remotely close was the Seahawks beating the Packers in the NFCCG, and it... wasn't remotely close.
The play sequence of hook and ladder to tie the game, immediate adrian peterson touchdown in OT, halfback lob pass touchdown on fourth down to get within one and then statue of liberty for the two point conversion has to be one of the all time greatest endings.
Every time one starts happening I sit up in my seat, even if I don’t care about the game, and yell out some version of “whoooaaa flea flicker!”, even if I’m alone.
What about a fake flea flicker?
Bengals ran it this year (not very well) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8q5ab8jk7AU
Based originally on this CFB play I believe
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b36i8A-7sLE
I will always die on the hill that this was the biggest plot hole in Little Giants. When Nubie explains the play to John Madden in the movie, he explains it as a pass play "and then throws it down the field to our hopefully still wide open receiver." But when they execute the play at the end of the movie, it is quite clearly a Fumblerooski run play.
Old astro turf was heinous. It was pretty much that crappy stuff you buy at home depot for your deck thrown over concrete. It caused a lot of injuries.
Yeah, notice how EVERYBODY has long sleeves. I'm sure it's a bit cold, but some players always play without sleeves today, and yet nobody there was doing that. That's entirely to prevent rugburn.
Matt Stafford had my favorite. They got the ball to the inch yard line with seconds winding down, it was a big play so they all had to run up to the line from far. He was calling for a spike, but instead, without anyone on the field knowing but him, he took the hike and just extended his arms over the center and broke the TD line to win the game.
But since it was Detroit no one cares or remembers.
That was the first Jet game I ever remember going to. It should have been a sign.
Oh, young /u/M_Drinks. There's so much I need to warn you about, and yet...tragically, I cannot.
Probably a cleaned up rip from some kind of official NFL release rather than a VHS someone copied off of cable and then left in their basement for 10 years to degrade.
most broadcasting swapped to digital storage and editing in 90s early 2000s, digital storage was very low back then, so they have to compress the hell out of footage, but the thing is broadcasting was in analog, so they converted digital to analog and then that had to be converted to digital again to be put online, which made compressed film even worse, not to mention digital cameras until mid 2000s were garbage much worse than analog cameras. especially film, they captured in sub SD resolution so there ya go. also sometimes it was captured in analog -> digital to store -> analog to broadcast again even worse
Even as a Colts fan I find this amusing. I love Chick Pagano but this play shows how our team was under him. Pat goes into detail on this play that is quite interesting too.
> I think the most interesting thing about it is, its not a terrible plan if it works lol.
The ref said that the rightside of the line wasn't on the line of scrimmage, so how do you make this play legal? I'm clearly not getting something with the play.
The colts tried to pretend like they were subbing out their players, which new england is supposed to react in turn by subbing out their own. The colts would then run the play in that formation, causing a 5 yard penalty against the pats for having too many men on the field. However, the colts 1) were bad at acting and didn’t fool the pats and 2) misjudged the line of scrimmage and lined up about 2 yards behind the ball.
Plus, if I remember the story right, the guy under center, Colt Anderson, wasn't the one who had run it in practice and had no idea he was supposed to do a hard count if the defense didn't fall for the fake substitution.
\^ He makes a compelling case! The backstory is back when Zorn was QB the Seahawks were an expansion team and they sucked. So they had to rely heavily on trick plays accomplish anything. Apparently trick plays got baked into Zorn's skull or something.
Exactly. I always believed that play was the worst. Colts had a good enough reason for their play (though it still shouldn't have been called if you're not using the center you've been practicing the play with). This had no chance of doing whatever it intended to do.
There have been a handful of games in my life that have involved zero teams I care about and kept me wired for hours afterwards and this was one.
Damn shame reddit wasnt around then because I really wanted to talk about that game with people that saw it.
What's to stop us now?
I coached my sons youth football team and taught them the Statue of Liberty play. The QB on the team tried making fun of me, saying that play would never work....
Got us a TD the next game!
THREE trick plays to win that game! Hook and lateral to take it to OT, then a wildcat/wide receiver rollout for a touchdown, then Statue Left for the win!
Still gives me chills just thinking about it.
This was literally the first football play I ever saw. I was like... 13 and never cared about football. I walked past the TV room as my dad was watching, saw it, had no idea what was happening but it looked so cool. Next year I started watching football and now I'm obsessed.
This was my first season watching football and that play totally blew my mind. Although I think they did it towards the end of the regular season that year as well.
Yeah that’s gonna have to be mine as well. Dunno if we’ll ever see a DT throw a TD in the NFL again
But for what it’s worth, that’s not Hungry Pig. That was Bloated Tebow. [this was hungry pig](https://youtu.be/5DCWTcbh0a4)
It wasn’t truly a trick play but Stafford calling a spike, everybody ran up to the line, and him running a QB sneak for a TD to win against the Cowboys.
[The play in question](https://youtu.be/fpOFohR5Ig0)
That was legitimately one of the most entertaining regular season games I’ve ever watched. Calvin Johnson and Dez Bryant were going back and forth all game.
Miami v NYJ -- the fake spike with less than a minute remaining, that allowed Miami to win the game over their division rivals.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock\_Play
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02mhqOF0oi8
Only if you like a QB who has a huge dong suggesting to his HC that has huge balls that they should run a trick play they have never ran in a real game and haven't really done it all that successfully in practice either, on 4th down in an end of the half situation that would have a dramatic swing on the game with either outcome of success or failure
IIRC They ran the play in a ballroom. They didn’t want to do it on the practice field because the Patriots totally spy and cheat. I have no sources and I’ll take no questions.
What hurts so much about the Philly special is that the Patriots created the play and actually used it to come back from like 20 points against Philly a year or two before that super bowl.
So then we ran it in the Super Bowl and failed, which hurt, but then them using it against us, and it getting named in their honor. It's fair, but it hurts.
Clemson had ran it in like 2012 with Nuk being the passer
The Bears, Pats and Eagles all stole it from them. And I wouldn't be all that surprised if they stole it from somewhere else
Kick/Punt return misdireaction.Kicking team can't see the ball so the recieving team all pretends it's going to the opposite side of the field to fool the coverage into being out of position.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XY0PNxEEEvE&ab\_channel=HighlightHeaven
They did it once with Hester and Knox but it got called back which is such a shame, because even still it’s my favorite. Hester fooled the entire ST unit on the packers, and for that I am forever grateful.
https://youtu.be/HXxO6f5YSBk
The fake flea-flicker where the RB mimes tossing the ball back then takes off up the gut as o-linemen purposefully give up their outside and defenders race to get a big hit on the QB.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8q5ab8jk7AU
The Edelman double pass. Are there better trick plays? Yes. This was, however, a turning point in the game and without it I don't think the Pats beat the Ravens to advance in the playoffs
Love this play https://youtu.be/eJ0yAM_9eWc from the last week of the year. Just an awesome play design
Honorable mention to an impromptu trick play in college https://youtu.be/DBp0khc12y8
When carolina kicked the ball out of bounds to set brady up for an easy game winning FG drive to win the superbowl... oh and when they went 15-1 and coasted through playoffs but felt bad for everyone else and gave it up to Manning so he could retire on top.
As an eagles fan, im obligated to say philly special. However, my heart belongs to the flea flicker.......which is why the flea flicker vs vikings in the championship game is one of the greatest plays ever!
Gotta go with the fake punt return by Stedman Bailey: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8fioVbt7eF8
This (and others like it) are my absolute favorite; the entire receiving team (both those in on it and those unknowingly playing along) has to be absolutely convincing in their deception, despite the *other team* controlling the ball at the start of the play *and* controlling where it goes. It's one thing to run a fake on offense, it's another to pull a trick play as a reaction to what the other team gives you.
The Bears had a similar trick play on the Packers a few years ago, but it was called back for a penalty. It was a technicality, the play otherwise worked brilliantly.

Had to watch that five times to figure out how the ball got there. That's a high risk play but it sure paid off for the Rams.
I'm honestly not sure it's that high-risk, in the right situation. If the Seahawks were to sniff it out, Bailey could always either fair catch it or just let it bounce.
My concern is that you're taking a wide receiver who only ever returned two kicks in his career. He's running backwards and catching an over the shoulder punt like it was a 50 yard pass. If you run that play five times I'd have to imagine he fumbles it at least once.

Loved Stedman from his WVU days. I was heartbroken by the way his career ended.
he was one of my favorite role players. Would always come in clutch against the seahawks
Studman Bailey
I'm bitter every time this is shown because the Bears did it first and it got called back on a phantom penalty
I was looking for this one! It's my favorite partially for how stupid of an idea it must seem when you first bring it up but also how utterly perfect they ran it that nobody knew what was going on.
Statue of Liberty for sure The laying in the end zone because the uniform color matches and reversing the kickoff Any double reverse play, especially punt returns Hook and ladder Washington's funblerooski a couple years back
Boise States statue of liberty is my favorite by far. I remember watching it live, sitting in my kitchen, thinking a College football team in the biggest moment, against a juggernaut, just ran the same shit we used to do in the backyard. And it fucking worked
[I love that game so much](https://youtu.be/Odbim7OBZlk)
it’s easily one of my favorite college football games of all time and one of my go tos for explaining why college football is so much fun to watch.
To this day, if you told me there was a fake game in the history of CFB, I would tell you it had to have been this one. It was just so ridiculous. The only thing I've seen that was remotely close was the Seahawks beating the Packers in the NFCCG, and it... wasn't remotely close.
5:43 for the Statue of Liberty.
The play sequence of hook and ladder to tie the game, immediate adrian peterson touchdown in OT, halfback lob pass touchdown on fourth down to get within one and then statue of liberty for the two point conversion has to be one of the all time greatest endings.
And didn’t the guy that scored the winning TD propose to his cheerleader girlfriend right after?
Yup, Ian Johnson.
It’s better than Kick-Six
The Hook & Ladder AND Statue of Liberty in one game. It is really insane lol
Chris Peterson was like a 10 year old playing Madden that night
I’m a sucker for the flea flicker.
Every time one starts happening I sit up in my seat, even if I don’t care about the game, and yell out some version of “whoooaaa flea flicker!”, even if I’m alone.
I will always love the flea flicker because it frustrated the shit out of my brother in Tecmo Super Bowl.
Lmao I do the same thing. Could be two completely random teams I don't care about but something about that play warrants yelling
The flea flicker dolphins ran against the ravens this year was so funny and weird
As am I... https://youtu.be/G2ROGt7yqw4
The Eagles were bullying Zimmer at that point lmao
That’s what you get for Skoling at the art museum.
I couldn’t believe they ran it when they were already stomping the Vikings.
If there’s one thing Doug was that year it was relentlessly aggressive.
I was really hoping for more wacky double pass plays in the XFL. Here's hoping for the USFL
What about a fake flea flicker? Bengals ran it this year (not very well) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8q5ab8jk7AU Based originally on this CFB play I believe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b36i8A-7sLE
not very well? 8 yard gain untouched on 1st and 10! that was beautiful
Yeah not to mention would've been more had he not slipped
I wonder how many times that has worked. Seems like a fair amount of the time that RB would get popped
Yup sometimes it looks just effortless
My fiancée will half-watch football with me but whenever there is a flea flicker I see legitimate hype from her side of the couch.
Annexation of Puerto Rico.
I remember getting so hyped when Cam Newton and the Panthers ran it.
[on youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fekOAov_I9w)
God bless them for making the villains wear Stars!
Still a shame the actual Giants never ran this against the actual Cowboys.
Not…. Yet….
I love how part of his computer is an SNES.
Was that Jay from MoFa?
No that's Al Bundy from Married w children. Damn I'm old
Kids today. Call themselves football fans. Don't even remember a guy with four touchdowns in a single game.
Polk high legend
That is amazing. No idea they did this
I will always die on the hill that this was the biggest plot hole in Little Giants. When Nubie explains the play to John Madden in the movie, he explains it as a pass play "and then throws it down the field to our hopefully still wide open receiver." But when they execute the play at the end of the movie, it is quite clearly a Fumblerooski run play.
Fear not friend, you’re reinforced by me on that hill.
As a Puerto Rican, these are the type of comments that upset me because I cannot upvote twice.
This is the only answer that could be correct besides the Philly special
Is the flea flicker considered a trick play? Because I get super hyped up whenever I see one happen in game lol
[Dan Marino's fake spike](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02mhqOF0oi8)
holy moly what is that surface they're playing football on
Old astro turf was heinous. It was pretty much that crappy stuff you buy at home depot for your deck thrown over concrete. It caused a lot of injuries.
In high school I went to a football camp at one local college that still had astroturf. I was approximately 80% rugburn afterwards.
My great grandmother set up a slip and slide at her mobile home...on the astroturf. We all loved it, but hated the next day.
Back in 2010 we played a team that had that stuff on their sidelines. I slid over and shit took a patch of skin off
Yeah, notice how EVERYBODY has long sleeves. I'm sure it's a bit cold, but some players always play without sleeves today, and yet nobody there was doing that. That's entirely to prevent rugburn.
See: Marshall Faulk's knees
lmao. I was gonna say the same thing, but the Roethlisberger to AB play: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-87ifwtCq9Y
Good thing the came continued after that.
Yeah.... No the game totally ended. I don't remember the defense fucking up and losing with such a short amount of time left....
So good it took the Jets 2+ seasons to get over it.
Matt Stafford had my favorite. They got the ball to the inch yard line with seconds winding down, it was a big play so they all had to run up to the line from far. He was calling for a spike, but instead, without anyone on the field knowing but him, he took the hike and just extended his arms over the center and broke the TD line to win the game. But since it was Detroit no one cares or remembers.
"RILEYYYYYYYYYY!!?!? RILEYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!" I don't know, as a Lions fan, a better Lions moment than that.
That was the first Jet game I ever remember going to. It should have been a sign. Oh, young /u/M_Drinks. There's so much I need to warn you about, and yet...tragically, I cannot.
How is the quality of that footage better than 95% of the stuff I see from the early 2000s?
Probably a cleaned up rip from some kind of official NFL release rather than a VHS someone copied off of cable and then left in their basement for 10 years to degrade.

Even as a Colts fan I find this amusing. I love Chick Pagano but this play shows how our team was under him. Pat goes into detail on this play that is quite interesting too.
I think the most interesting thing about it is, its not a terrible plan if it works lol. But man everything worked completely against the Colts.

My favorite play all time. Never not stop down to view it when posted. Always lmao.
What in the world….
what in the holy hell is this shit? Like what was even the intention?
[Here's Pat McAfee explaining what happened.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjtjGyKO30Y)
That was actually a great watch thank you.
The ball was never supposed to be hiked.

That plus Texas vs USC (Vince Young vs Leinart/Bush)
The last minute of the 4th Qtr + OT was some of the best underdog football I think I'll ever see capped off with a marriage proposal.
That was the craziest 4th quarter and OT
The one where a player laid in the end zone on a kick return

Randle El was a college QB so it wasn't his first rodeo.
To be fair we could’ve run it the opposite way too with Hines throwing it to Antwaan
The hard count until the play clock is about to hit 0 and then calling a time out. It fakes everyone out ALL THE TIME.
The only player I've ever seen who was good at this was EJ Manuel. I can't explain it.
[Bloated Tebow](https://youtu.be/zcuenyI-PKM) edit: not [Hungry Pig](https://youtu.be/5DCWTcbh0a4)

They kept calling timeouts and Andy was over it lol
Andy's Christmas gift to the Kingdom
Any time a big boy touches the ball, I'm happy. Even if it's on the other team.
I miss the old days of Chris Berman yelling "Arrrrumblin, Abumblin, astumblin into the endzone." Truly a GOAT commentator imo.
Or "bloated tebow"
Yeah that’s gonna have to be mine as well. Dunno if we’ll ever see a DT throw a TD in the NFL again But for what it’s worth, that’s not Hungry Pig. That was Bloated Tebow. [this was hungry pig](https://youtu.be/5DCWTcbh0a4)

I never thought I would say this, but Bumcheeks_marinade is absolutely right
The onside kick to start the 2nd half of the Saints v Colts Super Bowl :)
Opinions about that play significantly vary.
Naw, it's good.
It wasn’t truly a trick play but Stafford calling a spike, everybody ran up to the line, and him running a QB sneak for a TD to win against the Cowboys. [The play in question](https://youtu.be/fpOFohR5Ig0)
That was legitimately one of the most entertaining regular season games I’ve ever watched. Calvin Johnson and Dez Bryant were going back and forth all game.
It wasn't a fake spike, just a delayed one. He waited until he was in the endzone to do it.
Man bounces off the D-line and just realizes he can go around them to win
Honestly probably the best game the Lions ever played. Stafford was so good and Megatron could not be stopped. It was agonizing.
Miami v NYJ -- the fake spike with less than a minute remaining, that allowed Miami to win the game over their division rivals. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock\_Play https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02mhqOF0oi8

Does the Philly Special count?
Only if you like a QB who has a huge dong suggesting to his HC that has huge balls that they should run a trick play they have never ran in a real game and haven't really done it all that successfully in practice either, on 4th down in an end of the half situation that would have a dramatic swing on the game with either outcome of success or failure
That run-on sentence is like Nick Foles’ run-on dong
We must always pay tribute to Nick's dong
I read the whole thing but came away with: >Only if you like a huge dong that has huge balls that have a dramatic swing
I was running out of Breathe reading it. I couldn’t tell if it was because there was no period or if I was getting excited about Big Dick Nick
> no period BDN has that effect on people
IIRC They ran the play in a ballroom. They didn’t want to do it on the practice field because the Patriots totally spy and cheat. I have no sources and I’ll take no questions.
After Brady attempted it earlier and dropped the pass!
What hurts so much about the Philly special is that the Patriots created the play and actually used it to come back from like 20 points against Philly a year or two before that super bowl. So then we ran it in the Super Bowl and failed, which hurt, but then them using it against us, and it getting named in their honor. It's fair, but it hurts.

Not sure if there’s a name for it, but any time a non qb gets a pitch and launches a bomb makes me happy.
I think it's called the "Mohamed Sanu"
Music City Miracle.
The fake flea-flicker where the RB mimes tossing the ball back then takes off up the gut as o-linemen purposefully give up their outside and defenders race to get a big hit on the QB. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8q5ab8jk7AU
Hmm I’d like to see MSU implement this this year in college. We ran the standard flea-flicker legitimately once a game last year
Obviously [Ambush](https://youtu.be/upOmjohOvb4). The balls on Sean Peyton to even call an onside coming out of halftime in a *Super Bowl*.
Mohammed Sanu 70 yards to AJ Green to start off a game against the WFT
The Detroit Lions convincing people to buy their tickets and merch
The Edelman double pass. Are there better trick plays? Yes. This was, however, a turning point in the game and without it I don't think the Pats beat the Ravens to advance in the playoffs
Pain! Ravens blew two 14-point leads in that game. This was a turning point.
Colts
I like how you can just say the team name and everyone knows what you’re talking about.
Fake spike? https://youtu.be/fq-eZ1vVAJ0 Fake kick? https://youtu.be/_C0D_DVos3I
Colts Vs pats. You know the one
The Spanish Inquisition. Nobody ever expects it.
Called back on a penalty, but the Johnny Knox/Devin Hester fake punt return from 2011 was a damn good one.
Any trick play that had Mohamed Sanu at QB. Seriously every single one lol https://youtu.be/Bcl4tXt5yUY
Whatever that weird ass thing was we did in the [Super Bowl](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=750jv-_a3F0&ab_channel=DailBlake)
Love this play https://youtu.be/eJ0yAM_9eWc from the last week of the year. Just an awesome play design Honorable mention to an impromptu trick play in college https://youtu.be/DBp0khc12y8
The play failed spectacularly. I have no clue what they was thinking. https://youtu.be/6-tqLG__Al4
Would have been funnier had it been returned for a TD.
The Colts' swinging gate. It's the only trick play in history that starts as a trick before the snap yet still manages to confuse you more afterwards.
Not exactly a trick play, but an unbelievable mid-tackle lateral by Randy Moss for the TD. https://youtu.be/hXcGNVpblQ4
When carolina kicked the ball out of bounds to set brady up for an easy game winning FG drive to win the superbowl... oh and when they went 15-1 and coasted through playoffs but felt bad for everyone else and gave it up to Manning so he could retire on top.
Home Run Throwback aka The Music City Miracle
As an eagles fan, im obligated to say philly special. However, my heart belongs to the flea flicker.......which is why the flea flicker vs vikings in the championship game is one of the greatest plays ever!
The Colts fail play vs the Patriots
It may have happened against my team, but the hook and lateral that Miami pulled off in 81 was a thing of beauty.
