Trey Junkin's Ba... Junkin's 19-year NFL career will forever be remembered for one wild snap in the Giants' 2002 playoff loss in San Francisco. The Giants, who blew a 24-point lead in the contest, were trying a game-winning field goal when Junkin's snap missed its mark. (AP Photo/Julie Jacobson)

Gary Anderson's ... After becoming the first place kicker in history to complete an entire season making all his field goal and extra point attempts, Anderson missed a 38-yarder for the Vikings late in the 1998 NFC Championship against the underdog Atlanta Falcons.

Matt Hasselbeck'... In a 2003 wild-card game against the Green Bay Packers, the Seattle quarterback infamously declared, "We want the ball, and we’re gonna score!" at the overtime coin toss.

Tony Romo's Bobb... Before Romo had truly established himself as a star quarterback he bobbled the hold on a game-winning field goal in Dallas' 2007 playoff loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

Earnest Byner's ... It's a play simply known in NFL lure as 'The Fumble.' The Browns were on their way to a game-tying score in the final minutes of the 1988 AFC Championship game against the Broncos when Byner lost the ball at the 2-yard line. The demoralizing play also came one year after the Browns lost to Denver in the AFC Championship on 'The Drive.'(AP Photo/Mark Duncan)

Kyle Williams' O... Kyle Williams should make this list twice after not one, but two, critical gaffes on special teams. But his botched punt early in the fourth quarter that nipped his knee and was recovered by the Giants was overshadowed by his game-changing fumble deep in 49ers' territory in overtime. Williams filling in for an injured Ted Ginn Jr. proved costly for San Francisco. New York's Lawrence Tynes made sure of it. (Julie Jacobson/AP Photo)
