The New York Giants are officially the struggle squad of the NFL. On the flip side, the Jets started from the bottom now they’re feared. With week 5 in the books, the remaining 12 weeks of the season are shaping up to be epic. And with the good also comes the bad and the very ugly.
Sunday we witnessed Tony Romo go toe to toe with Peyton Manning with a record breaking performance only to prove his criticism of being a choke artist might be true with an interception thrown in the last two minutes of the game. Several quarterbacks including Mike Vick, Cam Newton, Matthew Schaub and Christian Ponder continue to feel the doubt of their fans and sports pundits alike. Additionally the NFC East continues to be the laughing stock division of the NFL.
Amongst all this ill luck are those marquee plays that really stood out out as true NFL fail moments. Here are our top 10 in the following pages.

Here the struggle gets too real for Eli Manning and the ball goes flying off his linemen’s helmet.
Yes the Jacksonville Jaguars are that bad – you know your team sucks when the St. Louis Rams are balling on you.
Here running back Matt Forte doing his best Brandon Jacobs impression.
And speaking of Brandon Jacobs, here he defies logic and fumbles the ball without being touched.
We can’t lie – we were just as fooled when Peyton Manning gingerly walked into the end zone. The thing is we don’t get paid millions of dollars to stop him.
The sports pundits of the world are now talking about a possible change at the Carolina Panthers QB position. Cam Newton should get some tissue and start to worry.
And leading the pack in the struggle quarterback category is Matt Schaub. He throws a pick six interception within the first two minutes of their game versus the San Fransisco 49er’s, which is his fourth in the last four games. By the way the Texans lost 34 to 3.
As many times as it has been proven before, punters should expect the worst when the returner has some momentum. Seahawks kicker Jon Ryan learned the hard way.
And here Seahawks coach Pete Carroll thought his team had the touchdown but instead gave up a safety.
The Cleveland Browns wack juice is so concentrated they can’t even celebrate without stumbling.
