20 SMARTEST Plays in NFL History

these are the smartest plays in NFL history starting with a play that was so effective it could soon be illegal no surprise there cuz it was New England one on late they got a piece of it it was blocked off the edge by Bron schoer now watch I bet every coach is going to try this glitch and I was like are you freaking kidding me you got to be kidding me the Patriots were always known to pull off some smart plays now leaving the offense back deep near their own End Zone where anything could go wrong you'll see what I'm talking about later in the video but next is a play here that left the entire state of Texas speechless pton still has the fo can you believe it pton Manning runs it in for the touchdown and no this ain't slowed down that's actually pton Manning's top speed dude literally sashayed in there but what if a player ran a play so risky if it didn't work out he was cut from the team oh side kick Drive McAfee recovers his own kick before Pat McAfee had his own pod and was dropping elbows with the people's champ he was doing even crazier things but we kicked one right we kicked one left so they had nobody in the middle of the field and actually like a week or two before that because we kicked one right and to the left I told Tom McMahon and Chuck I was like hey if there's nobody in the middle can I just kick it to myself and they were like nobody's going to do that and if Pat didn't make the recovery coach was going to cut him on the spot he goes if you call it you better get it and if you don't just go ahead and walk right off the field Bas expect nothing less from The Legend of himself for the brand man but that's not as much of a high IQ play as this punt return here where the Seahawks got tricked by some substitution jutsu so smart even the Cardinals had to give it a try taken on the near side of the field diing everybody it's Byron Murphy Byron Murphy hurdling into Colt's territory damn the cameraman can't even keep up it's like everyone's trying to win an Oscar performance with all this acting but this next play proves that Julio Jones a receiver deserves Defensive Player of the Year Matt Ryan threw another common airball which Julio knew it was going to be a pick so he had to switch sides right then and there who knew that Julio could hit that hard Let It Go looking for Julio inter oh a hit by Jones but not as hard as hitting the like button on this video so make sure you do that because this 99 yard punt returned by the Raiders had less punch and a lot more Dash to it as good job by the coverage unit Harris says I'm going to play this cuz I can and look at the return he gets dude just picked up the ball and took off like he stole something he just bipped the entire team although that was pretty dumb from the Broncos special teams to let that ball go the Raiders were pretty slick here unlike the Chargers who fooled everyone on this fake punt except for one guy a fake Ty to throw for it Hunter Renfro was smart enough to know not to let this crazy play happen he just went all Gordon Ramsay and said get this out of my kitchen get out get out get out get out get out which ended up being a smart strategy here for the Ravens to win the game with 11 seconds left fourth and eight backed up into their own End Zone where again anything can go wrong here the Ravens decided to become another type of bird as it became a game of chicken has even come close to cook who goes to the back of the end zone as time expires man those Bengals were confused the commentators were confused and even even the refs were clueless the entirety of the offense was mad mugging the defense so much you'd think they were somewhere on the streets of Oakland all because there was a loople at the time that the game could actually end on an offense penalty even if it meant to chew up the clock the result of the play is a safety that two points will count and by rule there is no extension so the game is over well that's it they literally hacked the system here just like how Patrick Mahomes changed the way QBs should throw the football to look over here and then I just hit him right there right on the TR where the trash can was and so he was throwing these no look passes that look so Limitless you thought he was taking NZ let's go let's go let's [Music] go the next here I think from a quarterback perspective watch this from the first half look at momes eyes and head he's looking to the right and throws it all the way across left I step up in the pocket and I kind of saw the linebacker was kind of covering the guy I wanted to throw to so I knew if I looked up the field and acted like I was kind of running I knew he would kind of squeez in a little bit and uh I did uh for the most part no look it and this all started because dude just wanted to outduel his college teammate and then I just throw the slant right behind him Cliff kind of mentioned it and I was saying I could do it of course and then we kind of started doing it into the net all right all right I know Matthew Stafford was doing this too but come on it's momes opponents are out here getting out smarted by a guy that laughs just like SpongeBob yeah just know that the Kansas City Chiefs are never underdogs just know that and if you thought that was crazy these last 10 smart NFL plays will definitely leave your head spinning damn but before that make sure you hit that subscribe button because we've got some high IQ plays where a man literally turns invisible and then there was that time when Lamar Jackson played another position besides running back and one where a man allegedly sabotaged entire game but just when you thought Mahomes was the only one pulling off crazy passes his boy Travis Kelce was pulling off high I this play was almost as smart as this fine print rule that not many players knew existed and judging from how number 29 just froze there questioning his life choices what exactly just happened yes but yester that all changed for your beloved volunte that's a ball so the dude intentionally stepped out of bounds made sure he was out and then touched the football and what what did that accomplish it then forced a penalty on the Lions putting the Packers out of a dangerous spot and chilling comfy on the 40 ydd line I bet the Lions couldn't believe it but that's not as unbelievable as Big Ben putting his balls on the table in the final seconds of the game so often and then they got it in behind him here's a fake spike Brown touchdown down by five with less than a minute to go in the fourth clock management was key you would expect them to spike the ball after a quick first down and bounce but this was probably the only time in life anyone got out smarted by Antonio Brown # C ESPN but that's not near as bad as being outsmarted by The Eagles who have been running the cheapest play in NFL history for the past couple of years the Eagles have been running the tush push an overpowered QB sneak led by Jaylen Herz who can squat over 600 lb because of this the Eagles got this down to a science getting easy one-yard first downs and TDS pissing everybody off it became so op there's talks of banning the play altogether damn this is getting more soft by the second I swear so when the Cardinals saw the Eagles line up for the sneak they knew what was coming however make it look like that and then run a TI play off at Kenneth gainwell the high school quarterback it's crazy that they saved that for a bottom feeder team like the cards that's crazy they probably would have rage quitted if they could have here's where he was great job guys finding Riley Cooper lying down in the Saints logo so you couldn't see him maybe soon Philly will bring back this play right here which was a literal magic trick but the play ended up being a forward lateral and got called back damn but these top five plays were not especially this one that gave Bills fans PTSD taken by Neil he gives it to W Che W Che that looked like a forward pass taken by Dyson it wasn't so much a miracle as a really smart play by Frank week PR in piece to the guy by the way and smart people are also pretty creative which is what Bill bichi showed the Jets with a Monday Night Troll job for the ages un beaten top heavy teams there in the NFC aren't there start offense this penalty is also deined it's still fourth down the Jets were like are we a joke to you and bellich was like Bro you've been a joke for over two decades you don't even have an answer to this but this still isn't as big of a troll as throwing a pass in an NFL game to yourself and catching it though second and five ball batted up into the air and CAU by Jackson he caught his own pass that's what Lamar Jackson did like he was Mr Perfect in the 9s that's almost as credible as literally outsmarting one of the most technically sound QBs in NFL history man pum going deep for Wayne intercepted inside the 10 yd line by Ed Reed and as it turns out he knew that Payton knew what Ed was going to do so Ed did the exact opposite and beat Payton in his own mind game Reed was one of the few players who was able to penetrate Payton's giant forehead and go all Inception on him but that's not as cerebral as Mike Tomlin making a mistake that actually benefited his team and taken down at the 27 yd line Jones was like why the hell is this guy on the field and Tomlin just smiled and was like yeah what are you going to do about it with no penalty flag in sight Jones couldn't believe it never ever ever ever ever in my life seen a coach on the sideline with his back to the play 70 yard I don't care I've always seen head coaches looking at the play watching the play developed from their eyes now Mike did have to pay a $100,000 fine for the whole thing probably just the cost of doing business in his position as some would say but everyone wanted to hear it from Mike tman himself so years later he laid it all out there no pun intended on the jumbo time it looks like he's running up the right sideline but actually he's coming up our sideline so what you're telling me is dude was hypnotized at the Jumbotron until the very last second but if you roll the footage back those eyes don't lie man a halfway decent concocted explanation 10 years in the making we do not care and there's still all sorts of wild theories out there even I'm still guessing but he's sticking to his story and in the end no one will really know what Mike Tomlin did there except it'll also be smart if you click on the next video where one player ended up weighing over 600 lb from eating too much this is probably the heaviest video on YouTube so just click on the video and I'll see you there in a few seconds [Music]
