10 greatest wild-card games in NFL history

It’s wild-card weekend.

Perhaps the 2015 playoffs will provide games that can be added to lists of the greatest ever. Before the ball is kicked off at 4:35 p.m. Saturday in Houston, let’s take a look at the greatest wild-card games in NFL history up to this point.

Comebacks, lead changes and plays so memorable that they have their own name are common elements throughout this list.

Some teams make multiple appearances on this list. Some for good reasons, some for bad reasons and some for both.

No. 10: Vikings 23, Giants 22 (1997)

Considering the many ways they lose important games, no list of the greatest wild-card playoff games would be complete without a game (or two) involving the Giants.
