So, for some reason I had somebody recently remind me of what's become known in football lore as the butt fumble. Is there a legitimiate assertion as this being the greatest play in the history of football? I'm starting to think that it is. Based on a few key reasons. One. The difficulty of not only running into your own player, but your head actually making contact with his butt. Two, the result of the contact causing a fumble. And three, the resulting fumble actually being returned for a touchdown.

No way is it the greatest play in NFL history, as that honour would probably go to the Immaculate Reception at the end of the 1972 AFC Divisional Playoff game between the Steelers and Raiders:

It's hard to beat the Immaculate Reception; that's the play that first came to my mind. There are hundreds of plays better than the butt fumble. Being a Giant's fan, this is one of my most recent favourites.
