DeSean Jackson’s 65 yard game winning punt return against the Giants was voted as the “Greatest Play of All Time” by NFL.com. This was an amazing play and I’m not disagreeing because I’m a Giants fan. There were some great plays DeSean went up against. I just think that David Tyree’s Super Bowl helmet catch was better than that. Check out the videos and let us know what you think?!

Jackson’s 65 yard game winning punt return- with no time left on the clock- beat out a Steve Young touchdown run vs. the Minnesota Vikings. Jackson’s punt return won by close to 16 million votes (58,635,836 to 42,853,011). The winner was decided by a fan vote.
The voting has been going on for close to a month and started with 64 plays. Jackson’s punt return beat out a Michael Vick touchdown run, a hail mary by Billy ‘White Shoes’ Johnson, a touchdown run by Barry Sanders, ‘The Catch’, and a Troy Polamalu flying tackle.
Jackson’s famous touchdown came on December 19th with just 12 seconds left, capping off a 21-point comeback by the Eagles. After fumbling the punt initially, Jackson took off and went almost untouched on his way to endzone. Tom Coughlin told Matt Dodge to not punt the ball to Jackson, but the punter was unable to do so.
