I couldn’t tell you my favorite, but I could say my least favorite as a Niner fan was Richard Sherman and Russel Wilson eating turkey on after beating us on thanksgiving in Levi’s inaugural year.

Aretha Franklin’s national anthem is still the best one to this day. RIP

Leon Lett has two of the most infamous/hilarious moments in NFL history. Talk about a real turkey, amirite?
The fact that this doesn’t have 5x more updoots than anything else makes me feel old.
The Butt Fumble may be my favorite NFL moment
I legitimately don’t understand why people reference this so much as a memorable moment. It wasn’t particularly unique or interesting. Shit like this has happened before and has happened since. It would make it into a random bloopers youtube video, but it’s not some all time moment.
As someone who watched it, a big reason is because of the timing. The Patriots went from 7-0 to 28-0 within a span of a minute, got a touchdown early, Jets fumble right at the three yard line, two plays later Mark Sanchez runs into his own lineman’s ass and then the very next kickoff is another fumble that gets returned for a touchdown.
Sanchez had always gotten criticism (because he was Bad) but could shield it by saying he won in the playoffs. That game essentially signalled the end of an era of hope for the Jets with their strong defense as Sanchez became too much of a liability to actually win despite their amazing defense and then went on to only have one winning season and 0 playoff appearances since then.
Combine that with the fact that a player running into his own offensive lineman’s ass and fumbling is funny and you get something that both serves as a representation of a moment in time, when the Jets lost all hope, and as an inherently funny play.
Not only the butt fumble but that whole game was just a shellacking
Randy Moss 3 catches, 163 yards, 3 touchdowns vs the Cowboys
Is this even a question? Butt Fumble.
Watching the Panthers beat the brakes off of Dallas in 2015. We were undefeated, at home, and were underdogs
When Phil Luckett fucked up the coin toss, Steelers vs Lions, Thanksgiving 1998.
