What's the Most Humiliating Loss in NFL History?

[@Tubewings]

It was actually Offensive Coordinator Bob Gibson that called the infamous "Miracle at the Meadowlands" play. Not only was he fired the day after the game, but the stigma of the play was so great that he never worked in any level of football ever again. Gibson never even talked about the play before his 2015 death, telling ESPN In a 2008 phone interview that he hadn't discussed the play in 30 years and he wasn't about to start now.

The reciever just straight up dropped the pass. After the game, a reporter asked Slingin' Sammy if he thought the game would have been different if the receiver had made the play.

The (So Called) Terrible Towel Curse. Clinched the #1 Seed beating Pittsburgh then Keith Bullock, LenDale White, and other plays stomped the towel blew their noses with it and all. After that game we lost 8 Straight games (including playoffs and a week 17 game which meant nothing). I'm surprised we started 0-6 in 2009 to finishing 8-8 almost making it to the playoffs. Sadly every time I think of our Oilers throwbacks this game is the 1st thing that pops up in my mind

[@z2ei]

What makes The Comeback worse is that it was the death knell for the Oilers as a franchise. Bud Adams (rot in hell) pulled the fire sale trick on the team for the third time in a little over a decade, drove it into the ground again, and announced the move two years later.

Leon Lett diving for the ball in the snow is the most inconceivable bone headed play in the history of sports. You literally have to do nothing. Just let the ball lie and you win. Almost got it right KTO.

[@poisonoak2719]

So there is a lot of conflicting info around the Fumble as Giants fans call it, including one account where the reason it happened was because RB Larry Czonka flat out refused to take the handoff and get tackled. But one element that has always come up has been that taking a knee just wasn’t common in that era

The NFL wasn't that big of a deal in 1940 (it was horse racing, boxing, and MLB, as far as the US goes), so a LOT more people saw the Broncos get whooped 55-10 after the NFL had established itself as the dominant sports league in the US. 43-8 and 28-3 happened in the social media age, so those have a much more significant impact as far the cultural zeitgeist goes.
