Good, random offseason discussion.
Found on Purple Insider:
The Minneapolis Miracle, Favre to Greg Lewis, Moss to Moe Williams, etc. were all great, but what about completely random plays that stick out in your mind? Have any?

@sunstreaker79 What’s a seemingly random play from yesteryear that you guys have an irrational love for?
Matthew: Ones that I’ve covered in Minnesota…
Stacy Coley in 2018 catching a kickoff and dropping it without realizing it was a fumble. So bizarre. That was the game Minnesota and Green Bay tied. Imagine if they lost because of that.
There’s a play in Week 17 of 2017 where Kyle Carter was insanely wide open and Case Keenum checked down instead. Carter was cut before the Minneapolis Miracle and ended his NFL career without a catch.
Kirk Cousins throwing it backward to Latavius Murray in 2018. It’s just an incredible play by Murray to catch it when nobody would ever expect to be thrown the ball in that situation.
Kai Forbath’s 52-yard field goal in the Miracle. Imagine getting cut after hitting the most clutch kick in team history.
Matt Barkley running “Philly Special” in Week 17, 2016 versus the Vikings.
One from my upbringing in Buffalo — the Bills lost a game because they had Marshawn Lynch throw a pass with a broken hand and it got picked in the end zone. Classic.
