Yepremian was lucky social media didn’t exist in 1973

1 score doesn't matter, he kicked 2 field goals over 54 both game winners and it's never mentioned. I love my uncle I miss him a lot my dad's beyond sad every day he knew him best. I love being able to see what he's done, seen this once or twice online. thank you. best uncle best god father, looks just like his son. i finally see it. miss you #1.

We, Miami Dolphins fans, love him. Great player and great sense of humor. In a divisional playoff game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Christmas 1971, Yepremian kicked a 37-yard field goal 7 minutes and 40 seconds into double overtime, ending the longest game in NFL history and sending the Dolphins to the AFC Championship game against the Baltimore Colts (which the Dolphins won to go on to Super Bowl VI). In the 1973 Pro Bowl, Yepremian kicked five field goals to lead the AFC to a win, and was voted Most Valuable Player in that game. He was elected to another Pro Bowl in 1978, and he kicked 20 consecutive field goals without a miss in 1979.

He was always one of my favorites, deservedly so, and I hate when single plays detract from a career. Bill Buckner in baseball (He's gone, too), the Seahawks play call on the goal line in the Super Bowl. I didn't know Garo had already left us until about 30 minutes ago.

He's the reason that the Miami Dolphins were in their first Super Bowl in '71, when he kicked the game winning field goal against the Kansas City Chiefs in the longest NFL game in history.

This is one of those moments in sports that was terrible back then, but now you look back at it and have a good laugh about it!

It's a good thing the Dolphins hung on to win that game. Could you imagine if they blew a perfect season thanks to this play? Garo would've been shipped back to Armenia in a cardboard box!

Well played.

The fact that Garo had a sense of humor about it makes it even better.

Hearing Curt Gowdy call the play and end it with “what a kooky play that was” was a legendary 🍒 on top

For the Dolphins to have this in their "perfect undefeated season" is so fitting. Look at the team and what they've done ever since.

That would have been the first and only shut out in super bowl history and it was for the only undefeated team. It's funny looking back because they still won the game but if they had lost off this....

He won a lot of games for the Dolphins Dynasty over their 5 year reign. some of the most memorable: 1971 AFC divisional @ KC still NFL's Longest Game, kicked winning FG. also, following season week 3 '72 @ Minnesota, Shula said "52 yard FG, go kick it Garo and he did. should have went to pro bowl in '71.

Don't let this gaffe distract you from the fact that the Falcons blew a 25-point 3rd quarter lead in the Super Bowl

Only reason this isn't higher is the Dolphins won the game. Had they lost this would be the undisputed #1

I was 10 yrs. old, loved kicking already and this nearly caused me to swallow my tongue. Still loved Garo, he was great but man....this play made a Dolphin fan want to bury their head 'til Ray Finkle...er, Einhorn, came along.

The Dolphins won anyway though, so this is something they can laugh about.

The great guard on those Dolphin teams, Bob Kuechenberg, never forgave Garo. He felt Garo made light of it and cashed in on a play that could have cost the Dolphins the win. A little bit of overreach by Kuechenberg, but he was a very intense guy. Word is whenever there was a reunion of the 1972 players he would ignore Garo, would not even say hello to him. Sadly, both have passed away. Hope they made their peace before that but I doubt it.

Cool fact: Garo Yepremian and Mike Bass were teammates on the Lions in 1967, where they both began their careers.

DAMNN!

Michael davtyan No. Jim Marshall running the wrong way into his own end zone has to be #1. The Seahawk play is a bad play CALL, not a bad play (the Patriots just executed better). There's a difference. Butt fumble: bad play. Ryan taking seven step drop on what should have been a run play: bad play call.

Michael davtyan 500 points for you!

On the following series, the Redskins came within 6 inches of blocking the Dolphins punt. They would have probably tied the game on 2 special teams touchdowns in the last 2 minutes of the game!

As I recall, in Super Bowl VI, as it turned out, only 9 seconds would separate the Dolphins from being shutout by the Cowboys. Yepremian's field goal, Miami's only score in the 24-3 loss, came with 9 seconds remaining in the first half. Had it not been for Garo's field goal, the Cowboys would own the only shutout in Super Bowl history. Man I wish the Patriots hadn't held the Rams to a field goal in that boring #53 played in Atlanta.

@eclectica1 I never implied that football always had to resemble "Madden Football", but I'd much rather see 2 or 3 touchdowns scored versus a few field goals, and I'm not alone with these sentiments. This is especially true if I'm paying a few thousand dollars to watch a Super Bowl.

Yepremian should have let Earl Morrall throw the pass since he is afterall a quarterback.

I think Earl would have just fallen on the ball had he got there first...

Soccer kicking style but seems he liked volletball better

The game should have actually been tied. The Redskins were about to score late in the 4th when we had a wide open receiver in the back of the endzone. But Billy Kilmer's pass got blocked by the goal post cus they were at the front of the endzone at the time. They moved them back the year after that. Redskins could have ended the perfect season if it wasnt for a damn goal post.

Guess how many other quarterbacks lost their games by hitting the goal post that year? ZERO!! The Redskins didn't lose because of the goal post. They lost because they're perpetual losers.

The game should have ended 14-0 for the Super Bowl's first shut out but Garo felt sorry for Washington. lol

If he made the field goal it would have been 17-0. Perfect end to the perfect 17-0 season.

DAMN

Today marks the 50th anniversary of both Super Bowl 7 and Garo’s Gaffe.

Thank God the Dolphins won the Super Bowl! If they hadn’t, Garo Yepremian would have been the most hated man in all Miami!

It’s fun to laugh at but honestly I kinda respect Garo here Things were going wrong and instead of thinking I’ll just do nothing he kept trying something. Sometimes you have a bad run of luck and intuition, but it’s still important to keep trying in a lot of situations

What did he say, it should have been 17-0? What about Billy Kilmer's pass to a wide open Jerry Smith in the end zone in the 4th quarter that hit the crossbar on the goal post and bounced away incomplete? That would have made it 14-14. The next season the goal posts were moved to the back of the end zone.

Maybe the heat got to him, was one of the hottest Super Bowls ever, Wiki says it was the hottest

This should’ve been top 5

i dont enjoy seeing bryan callens face when unexpected

Why is Dan Orolvsky's Safety not on this list?

Here’s an idea Garo. No disrespect but what if you had just grabbed the ball and fell to the ground.

So guys I’m the qb. NO YOU’RE THE KICKER REMEMBER.

The one thing no one has ever mentioned is who blocked the kick

Sure the Dolphins can laugh about it, because they WON that Super Bowl. Had they lost that Super Bowl because of Yepremian's gaffe, I seriously doubt they'd be laughing. Had they lost, Yepremian would've been treated like Bill Buckner was in the 1986 World Series the Red Sox lost.

WTF. Yepremian, not Yepramium.

Gene deckerhoff?

I just think the irony is so funny, the most famous play of super bowl VII was this looney play, even those this superbowl is was capped off a perfect season

And they STILL won the game! 🤣

0:35. Yeah, this guy has no idea what he's talking about. Why are they asking some baby young comedian about plays that hapoened before they were born?

This should be the #1 Worst Play in NFL history; esp his cowardness in tackling Mike Bass or at the least attempting to push him out of bounds, but he was afraid to get his uniform dirty.
