Instant Replay Game (1989)

In the final minute of a game in 1989, Don Majkowski completed a touchdown pass to Sterling Sharpe on fourth down, but officials initially flagged him for crossing the line of scrimmage before throwing.

After a four-minute replay review, the call was controversially overturned, giving Green Bay a 14-13 victory. The Bears were so outraged by the decision that they placed an asterisk next to this game in their media guide for years afterward, believing Majkowski had clearly crossed the line, giving this game another nickname, the “Asterisk” game.

This play led to debates about instant replay since it took so long to review, and eventually the NFL eliminated instant replay after the 1991 season and did not reinstitute it until 1999.
