Several National Football League (NFL) games and plays throughout its history have been given names by the media, football fans, and as part of an NFL team's lore as a result of a distinctive play associated with the game, as a result of a unique outcome of or circumstance behind the game, or for other reasons that make the game notable.[1]
The following is a list of games that have been given names that are widely used or recalled in reference to the game or as part of an NFL team's lore. This list does not include games named only after being an NFL/AFL Championship game or Super Bowl game unless they are referred to by a name besides their official yearly name (i.e. 28-3 for Super Bowl LI).
First NFL playoff game to be decided in sudden deathovertime.[9] Marked the beginning of the NFL's popularity surge and eventual rise to the top of the United States sports market.[10]
1981 AFC Championship Game. Coldest game temperature in NFL history in terms of wind chill at −59 °F (−51 °C) under the calculation method then in use.[23]
Played as dense fog rolled over Chicago's Soldier Field during the 2nd quarter, cutting visibility to about 15–20 yards for the rest of the game, preventing many players from seeing the sidelines or first-down markers.[30][31]
First NFL game where no punts occurred for either team for the entire game, widely regarded as one of the NFL's best games with multiple future Hall of Famers.[37]
Major snowstorm prior to the game prompted fans to throw snowballs in the stands and onto the field, resulting in the Giants being forced to forfeit the game.[42][43][44]
Notable for Browns fans throwing objects such as beer bottles onto the field in response to referees going against the rules by overturning a Browns 4th down conversion made two plays prior, resulting in the game ending early.[50][51]
2001 AFC Divisional Playoff game where a Patriots fumble was overturned by officials due to Patriots QB Tom Brady appearing to "tuck" the ball in, ruling it an incomplete pass and leading to a Patriots victory and Super Bowl XXXVI win.[52][53]
2003 regular season game where Packers quarterback Brett Favre threw for 399 yards and 4 touchdown passes less than 24 hours after his father, Irvin, died of a heart attack. The game kept the Packers playoff hopes alive and extended Favre's consecutive start record.[54][55]

49ers clinched a playoff spot when NaVorro Bowman intercepted Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan and returned the interception for a 89-yard touchdown. This was the last 49ers home game played at Candlestick Park.[71]

Super Bowl LI, featuring the Patriots coming back from a 28–3 score deficit midway through the third quarter to win the first Super Bowl won in overtime, despite an estimated 99.8% chance of a Falcons victory in the third quarter.

2021 AFC Divisional playoff game featuring both the Bills' QB Josh Allen and the Chiefs' QB Patrick Mahomes throwing for 300 yards, three touchdowns, no interceptions, and rushing for at least 50 yards, culminating in a Mahomes 44-yard drive with 13 seconds left to bring the game to overtime for the Chiefs to ultimately win. The game also resulted in changes to overtime rules to allow both teams to possess the ball.[89][90]

From a NFL playoff game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Minnesota Vikings on December 28, 1975, when Cowboys quarterback Roger Staubach threw a long last-ditch game-winning touchdown pass to wide receiver Drew Pearson, and later dubbed the name of the Hail Mary pass.[100][101]

1980–81 NFL playoff game play where an interception of a "Red Slot Right, Halfback Stay, 88," pass play in the end zone by Raiders safetyMike Davis, despite the Browns being in range of a field goal, put an end to the Browns' season.[108][109][110]

Accidental running out of the back of the end zone resulting in a safety by Lions QB Dan Orlovsky in his first career NFL start, leading to a two-point deficit to ultimately lose the game in the Lions' eventual 0–16 season.[132][133] Subsequent runs out of the back of the end zone by other QBs such as Jimmy Garoppolo or Gardner Minshew have been called "pulling a Dan Orlovsky" by media outlets.[134][135][136]
Touchdown by Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch, nicknamed "Beast Mode", running 67 yards and breaking nine tackles, resulting in the subsequent celebration of Seahawks fans registering on a nearby seismograph.[137][138][139]
