Favorite special teams play - New England Patriots Forums

To go with the other thread about favorite offensive and defensive plays, we shouldn't neglect special teams:

Vinatieri lining up for a kick against the Rams in 2004 and passing the ball to Troy Brown waiting in the end zone for an easy TD. Everubody was fooled on that one.

Hard to remember all the plays over hte years but this one sticks out above all else for no other reason than nobody else had done it for decades: Drop kick extra point by Doug Flutie

Called cheap gimmick and a way to make a name for himself one last time but one heck of a way to go out!

Again first that comes to mind...

Ellis Hobb's kick off return against the Raiders last year, after they had just returned one. It just felt like anything you can do, we can do better

'01 AFCC game. the Blocked FG return for the TD. Think it was Troy pitching it and J.R Redman or T-Buck.

Snowbowl kick. A lot of great plays come to mind, but this was the best kick in NFL history. Period.

Fluties drop kick has to be among the top special teams play of ALL the Patriots ST plays - That was fun and is my favorite.

Troy Brown's Super Bowl 39 Kick return - Wasn’t a TD, but man I was fired up.

Of course Adams kicks to win a Super Bowl and Snow Bowl are NFB's.

If I remember correctly, I think it was Antwan Harris.

My favoite ST play was the one I chose as my favorite offensive play - the intentional safety in Denver... brilliant.
