No. 5:  1998-99 NFC Wild Card Game

In the 1999 Wild Card game, the San Francisco 49ers and Green Bay Packers met in Candlestick Park.

Near the end of the game, 49ers wide receiver Jerry Rice fumbled the ball, and it was recovered by Green Bay. However, officials ruled that Rice was down by contact prior to the ball coming out, and the Niners retained possession of the football.

Replay showed that Rice did indeed fumble the ball, and it should have been ruled a turnover.

This led to one of the most dramatic playoff wins ever, when Steve Young hit Terrell Owens in the end zone as time expired to give San Francisco the win, as seen in the video above.
