"Honorable" mention
I forgot who on the Packers slam dunked on his shoulder Jim McMahon of the Bears at Soldier Field. No penalty was called but McMahon was out for the game.
Charles #&*ing Martin. Forrest Gregg was a dirtbag of a coach, too. Without that play, the Bears win at least one more Super Bowl with that group. I had a chance to ask Jim McMahon about that play once. I remember most people talking about his shoulder, but I gathered from his response he was more worried about the concussion from that and was amazed he didn’t break his neck. It didn’t just take him out of the game, it affected his career.
Also pretty sure that not only was there a penalty called on that, but Martin was actually ejected. Which was almost unheard of in those days.
