In Theoretical Football Theory (TFT) I believe a pick six from a lineman would be the greatest possible victory theoretically

The Iron Bowl Kick Six is probably the greatest walk-off play in football history. 2015 Michigan State beating Michigan on a walk-off blocked punt is up there too.

Defensive 2 point conversion would be good (any 2 point play really). That insane Hail Mary tip Washington had earlier this season probably one of the better Hail Marys.

See, I like football because you say 'victory by doink' and we all know what that means and no other sport legitimately has anything like it.

Incredibly, the Commanders have done both this season so any of their fans can genuinely answer this question. My answer is: whichever one happens in the playoffs is the better ending!

victory by safety seems to be the consensus and I had to look it up - this has happened only three times in NFL history, most recently in 2013, so it might top the list
