Romeo and Juliet. A real tear jerker. 
Seriously , any defensive points. James Harrison’s TD return for Pittsburgh was awesome.
Safeties too.

I chose 'Int for a TD' because anytime the defense scores it is a huge momentum shift in a game.  Of course, the same can be said for 'Sack of a QB scoop and score', but I still find a pick-six the most satisfying type of TD.

I like a fat man interception, followed by a fat man dance

As of the last couple of years…. A designed run on 1st down that goes for 8 yards and sets up short sticks…. A rare creature. 

Actually, Motor is pretty good at that..

I used to love watching Fred Jackson make 2 quick moves in the hole then dart for 30 like it was nothing. Early on Shady just making teams look silly was great too. My favorite might have been, out of nowhere, horrible Bills season Stevie Johnson. The guy would run after the catch in that first year like crazy. Take a 7 yard pass and get 45. I miss that.

Mine would be a big hit by a defensive player, like the one Milano delivered on Mike White this year. It's the best part of football, imo, and it's becoming a rare event. Which is good for the players but not so much for the viewers.

But my favorite thing in football is a good goal-line stand.  Pretty rare these days (especially w/ the ability to push a runner), but those are great when they happen.

 I guess like many of you, there's way too many plays I love to be able to list them in order ha ha. So many intangibles too. Favorite specific plays? Probably. Favorite type of plays? All over the place.

Just watching highlites of some long TD runs and I enjoyed the heck out of watching long runs. Maybe because we don’t see a lot of them?

 

What is your favorite thing to see? Maybe none of the above listed?

I agree. Longer runs are so much more infrequent than big pass plays and thus are more exciting, especially when the runner breaks tackles or fakes out a bunch of guys. So much fun.

 

Not saying this is the model for how I hope to be consistently great, but man, if Cook can break a few long ones this season that will be a blast to watch.

I'd probably go pick 6 out of the listed.

Maybe not as much "fun" per se, as it's nerve wracking, but yes, it's so satisfying... It's like somehow dodging a bullet when someone has a gun pointed straight at you.

I know when I play pick-up football and we make a stand near the end zone and the other team can't punch it in with three or four tries it's so rewarding and I feel like it breaks the other team's spirit.

I voted on the 80 Yard TD Run. Of course, growing up watching Thurman Thomas, Barry Sanders, and Bo Jackson....among others who could take it to the house on any given play is probably why. Oh, and little flashbacks of Tecmo Bowl and Tecmo Super Bowl could be another reason!

I get the most satisfaction out of watching a QB whom is like a surgeon marching down the field. Ten throws to ten different receivers. Death by a thousand cuts. Pseudo intellectual QB meets rhythmic passer.

I like a wonderfully executed play action pass 

I’m with you here…a play action roll-out especially. It always seems to have potential for a big gain on the throw and the chaos is exciting.
