Top 10 Greatest Games of All Time | NFL Films

The Ice Bowl is the definition of mental toughness

Let's just be honest. There are too many great games to limit it to 10.

As a Niner fan, the 2009 Cardinals vs Steelers was one of the most incredible games I've ever seen. That game had EVERYTHING: Comebacks, explosive plays, defensive scores, controversial TDs, it was an all out SLUGFEST from start to finish. It wasn't a good half, or even a legendary comeback, it was an entire GAME. As a fan of the sport, anyone watching that one has to recognize the level of play in that game, and for it to be in a Super Bowl just elevates it even more in my book. Again, outside my own personal biased 49ers favorites, that game sticks out to me as the best one I've seen as a FOOTBALL fan. Epic battle both ways..

I think "The Comeback" game with the Bills vs. Oilers should be on here. I literally couldn't care less about either team, but that game gives me chills.

The Kearse catch to the interception was the biggest spectrum of emotion i've ever experienced in my lifetime....it all happened in under 5 minutes

Bills comeback vs oilers? Yeah cause overcoming a 35-3 deficit with a backup qb isn’t entertaining

“That man looked like six o’clock” Best thing I’ve heard all week.

I can't believe the 2012 Broncos-Ravens playoff game isn't anywhere. A classic back-and-forth, double-overtime thriller in the freezing cold weather. Torrey Smith torching Champ Bailey. Flacco's hail mary to Jacoby Jones. Manning's interception in overtime. That game had it all. It should be top 5 imo.

How the hell are super bowls 10 and 13 not on the list???? You have two iconic franchises going head to head, 20 combined hall of farmers in 76 and two incredible Lynn Swann catches. Then in 79 you have whopping 22 hall of farmers involved and a close, high-scoring game. At least one of these games have to be on the list.

The Epic in Miami had pretty much everything. A great comeback, a trick play to score a TD at the end of the first half, great performances by both QBs (one a HOFer, the other a career backup). It had a classic performance by a HOF tight end. Despite great offense from both sides, there were big plays made on defense and special teams. If you were a fan of other team, there were so many “we got this game wrapped up” moments which then turned out not to be the case. San Diego goes up 24-0 early on and SD fans probably figure they’ve got this one. Then Miami comes back, with their backup QB Don Strock to tie it at 24, which includes that great hook-and-ladder play of Strock to Harris to Nathan at the end of the first half. Then it looks over for San Diego as Miami goes up 38-31 with about 5 minutes left in the 4th quarter, and has the ball deep in Charger territory. San Diego is able to force a fumble and drives down and ties the game up with about a minute left, as James Brooks ran the baseline in the end zone and caught an overthrown pass intended for Winslow. It wasn’t his job, brooks just did it instinctively. The chargers squib kick it and Miami gets good field position. San Diego intercepts a Strock pass at midfield but fumbles it a split second later (it would be incomplete nowadays), so Miami keeps driving. Now it looks like Miami is still going to win, as they get in field goal range. At the end of regulation, the kick is short as Winslow manages to get just enough of the ball to mess up its projection. The commentators couldn’t even tell it was partially blocked. San Diego gets the ball in OT and looks like they have it wrapped up now as they get inside the 15 yard line, as Winslow kills them on this drive. But Rolf “Family Feud” Berinschke misses a chip shot. Miami drives down and looks like they have it won as they get inside the Chargers 20. But this kick is blocked by Leroy Jones. San Diego drives down and finally a field goal is made on the 4th try between the two teams to win the game. This should be #1, or at least top 3. New England’s win over Atlanta probably wasn’t even the best SB they were in. It was the better comeback, but the win over Seattle was more exciting.

It seems like people kinda forget how great Super Bowl 52 was. Backup Nick Foles vs Tom Brady looking to win back to back titles and 3 in 4 years. They matched each other throw for throw. A heavyweight fight until the very last play. Most yards in any game ever.

A game that definitely should've made this list was that September 1994 Patriots/Dolphins game where Dan Marino and Drew Bledsoe each threw for over 400 yards, and ending with the Dolphins winning 39-35.

The two greatest games I’ve ever seen was the AFC championship game ravens vs broncos in 2013 I think and the Cardinals vs packers in the divisional round in 2015 I think

I know it's new, but the best game I've ever seen was Rams/Chiefs on monday night.

I accualy have a piece of a goal post from the ice bowl that my grandparents gave me

I feel 52 should have been in the mix for this list.. fantastic story going into the game and the game itself was amazing

SB 43 has to be No1. 3 iconic plays of all time (Harrison pick 6, Fitzgerald go ahead TD, Holmes game-winning TD). Two great QBs. A bunch of hall-of-fame caliber players.

As a lifelong Giants fan, I watched Super Bowl 42 with my jaw down on the floor, and I still cannot believe what I saw.
