  4. Bart Starr’s game-winning QB sneak on 3rd and inches in the December 1967 NFL championship game vs. the Dallas Cowboys (the legendary “Ice Bowl” game).

Incidentally, fullback Chuck Mercein (#30) is not signalling the touchdown, as has been assumed. He is in fact holding his hands up in the air to show to the refs that he is not pushing the pile forward, which could have drawn an illegal procedure penalty and negated the play.
