These are the greatest, most important and memorable TD's in the history of the NFL:

1.	The Catch - 1981 NFC Championship game - Joe Montana lofted a high toss toward the back of the end zone, where Dwight Clark made a leaping fingertip snag — the most-replayed 6-yard TD in NFL history.
2.	Cal-Stanford, The Play - When Cal's Kevin Moen trampled Stanford's trombone player Gary Tyrrell in the end zone on Nov. 20, 1982.
3.	The Immaculate Reception - The Steelers trailed 7-6 and faced 4th-and-10 on their own 40 with 22 seconds left and no time outs when Terry Bradshaw scrambled to his right and, just as he was hit on his own 30, fired a ball over the middle of the field to intended receiver Frenchy Fuqua, who got popped by Jack Tatum and the ball caromed back to Franco Harris for the game-winning 60-yard TD.
4.	Texas over USC - When Vince Young scrambled nine yards into the end zone on 4th-and-5 with 19 seconds left in the national championship showdown on Jan. 4, 2006.
5.	The Cutback - Raiders vs. Redskins in Super Bowl XVIII - Marcus Allen's pirouetting, electrifying 74-yard TD run
6.	Miracle in Michigan - Kordell Stewart and Michael Westbrook's tipped hail mary gave Colorado a 27-26 victory over the Wolverines on Sept. 24, 1995.
7.	55 Flood Tip - the Doug Flutie 64-yard Hail Mary to Gerard Phelan to beat the Hurricanes 47-45 on the last play of the game on Nov. 23, 1984.
8.	Music City Miracle - Neal-to-Wycheck-to-Dyson while trailing Buffalo 16-15 with 16 seconds to play on a high, short kickoff at the 24 with "no flags on the field!" carried the Titans past the Bills in the 2000 NFL Playoffs.
9.	The Hook and Lateral and Statue of Liberty - The Boise State Broncos trailed 35-28 to Oklahoma with 18 seconds left and the ball at midfield until Quarterback Jared Zabransky ran a perfectly executed hook-and-lateral to send it to OT and then ran a perfectly-executed Statue of Liberty play to win in OT.
10.	Montana to Taylor - Niners win 20-16 over the Bengals in Super Bowl XXIII with the only game-winning touchdown pass in the final minute in SB history.
11.	Jerry Rice 207th TD reception - his last touchdown in football, leaving him the NFL's all-time leader
