The Worst Two Point Conversion Attempt in NFL History

[@48jackpotjohnny]

I can't decide which is funnier. This lame 2-point conversion attempt, or yesterday when Tyrique Stevenson taunted the Commanders' fans right before giving up the game winning hail Mary pass. Two of the most hilarious plays in the NFL in recent memory.

[@rohanshah7559]

Prob Tyrique cuz he actually lost the game off of it. This is some buffoonery but it was kinda inconsequential, all things considered. I just love the imagery of Riq chatting with a fan while Noah Brown is sprinting full speed behind him

[@michaelangelos5117]

They will both live in infamy but ty was worse IMO because he actually tipped the ball back for the touchdown, as well.

[@jamesdannelly6760]

Definitely tyrique

[@19seandel78]

If the NFL still has the "C'mon Man" segment going on, those two plays there...😂

[@GovernorBeanz]

Bro that was the worst effort play I’ve ever seen. Absolutely embarrassing

[@MeteorSmash]

Even worse than the time they did a QB sneak on 3 and 9 against Washington that one time?

[@HscoaMusicOfficial]

​@@MeteorSmash omg i remember that. probably the funniest play ever.

[@trayvondixon9661]

​@@MeteorSmashOr yk the colts play vs the Patriots?😂

[@TheGrossMeta]

It's like the Colts botched fake snap but somehow worse

[@DoctorNovakaine]

What makes it worse is that this one was actually meant to be snapped and played. And like only two of the offensive players actually even tried. But they aren't "planning on making changes" to the coaching staff. Sure, I'll believe that if Daboll still has a job by Super Bowl Sunday.

[@williamblackfyre4866]

....its got to be worse since the Colts play was only supposed to draw the other team offsides and was never meant to actually be snapped. It looks like the Giants are actually trying to run some kind of screen but without the trickery that accompanies a normal RB screen or TE/WR bubble screen.

[@Ericericericericericeric]

It’s worse because they actually got the play off easily.

[@mikewilliams4443]

I think the Colts play was worse because as Collinsworth said “what was the plan?” This at least could have worked in theory,

[@PeteTheRock2002]

Seriously, the Swinging Gate play has to be scrapped.

[@christmashake8968]

Highsmith snuck through that line like an eager shopper sneaking through the front doors the millisecond Black Friday starts. XD

[@biochem70]

He literally had to slow up because he was going to get to Malik before the ball did😂

[@phoenixomega3641]

Sneak is too strong a word. More like he ran through the open door that was the Giants' defense.

[@notlilwayne5129]

They didn’t even block 💀

[@marcmarc1967]

Freeze the video. All 5 of them are looking at the QB. They didn't practice this enough, whatever it was.

[@gamera5160]

@@marcmarc1967 They can't hear the count. They have to move when the ball snaps. They should have started blocking once the ball was snapped, but as you say, they didn't practice whatever this was enough.

[@drescherjm]

@@gamera5160 Maybe that is the problem. When they practiced this they didn't have the noisy crowd screaming. Whatever it was this was a weird play but not the worst I have seen. This does remind me of that one Colts 4th down play versus NE.

[@DoctorNovakaine]

The best/worst part? The way the Steelers are set up, it probably works if the Giants blockers actually give a shit. There's only three Steelers really set up to defend against the five Giants, and they're set so far back that the Giants have room to set the blocks farther forward. You can see two Steelers who look like they might try to get around the wall from inside, but the outside is unprotected so that probably doesn't work. This is one of the almighty botch jobs I've seen. It's so bad it's funny, unless you're a Giants fan.

[@DoctorBiobrain]

I suspect that was Jones’s thinking and he snapped the ball before the Steelers could get better positioned but it was his own guys who weren’t ready.

[@Satellite2145]

Agreed. Off first glance I thought it was dumb but I kept watching it. It probably could’ve worked but they weren’t even set for it

[@Clawed9]

That is the most hilarious thing to me about this whole botched play

[@Poisonedblade]

@@DoctorBiobrain Yeah, 5 Linemen and a RB, vs 2 or 3 Steelers, should be an easy score.

[@DoctorBiobrain]

@@Poisonedblade Except the Steelers were moving into position to cover that. That's why Jones snapped the ball, because he saw they weren't ready and that's the only way the play works. But the joke was on him, since his own guys were even less ready. And if you look at the freeze frame right before the RB got the ball, there were seven Steelers ready to deal with it including Highsmith and two other guys who were coming in behind the blockers while the linemen are still frozen in place. This is the NFL and the Steelers have a well coached defense, unlike the poorly coached Giants offense. Btw, I think that's four linemen, a RB, and a small receiver. And the receiver was checking with the ref to make sure he was in the right place when the ball was snapped. That's why he looks at Highsmith like he did something wrong when he blew right by him. There has to be a gap between the receiver and the lineman next to him and Highsmith went right through the gap.

[@StirFryChicken]

This is the NFL, the highest level of professionals in this sport…I wonder how many hours the Giants invested in practicing that play just for it to end up like this 😂

[@plmn93]

Well considering the players seemed to have no idea what to do, I'd say it's likely the coach drew it on a napkin during a timeout.

[@Mike-qg3zd]

the same amount of time they have invested in jones… pathetic

Yeah cause Daniel Jones really knows what will and will not work 😂. He must be somebody's nephew or something! There is no reason he should still be a starting quarterback in my opinion.

[@genogrant5478]

Because there was a lot of lineman over there who are used to hearing the qb cadence when a wide receiver usually looks in to see the ball snapped so when they’re lined up wide they’re starring over there and Highsmith just shot back there lol

[@tedwilliams185]

Because their heads were turned to try and see the ball.

There’s 11 minutes left in the 4th quarter, you just cut the lead from 14 pts to 7 if you kick the extra point. WHY are you going for 2? You weren’t down by 16 and if you kick the extra point you’re down by 7, not 11 where you’d need the 2 pt conversion plus a field goal to tie if Pittsburg doesn’t score again. Daboll should be fired.

[@PeterSedesse]

I am going to accredit this to the home field crowd noise. If you watch before the snap, all of the blockers had to look at the ball because they couldn't hear the snap count. In practice, they probably had all of those guys looking at who they were supposed to be blocking.

[@drewgatewood1864]
