Name the catch

Name the catch is for anyone who has watched the same highlight a hundred times. Each question gives a few clues about an iconic grab or play, with no diagrams and no video, and the task is to name it. It suits seasoned fans who know their famous moments by heart, but newer supporters will get a lot out of it too, because each answer comes with a short note on what happened and why people still talk about it. It is a good way to build up the shared vocabulary that fans use when they mention a play by nickname alone.

Playing is straightforward. There are 8 questions and the whole thing takes about four minutes. Read the clues, tap the answer, read the note, then move on. Nothing is saved to an account, so it is fine to guess and learn as you go.

Every one of these moments depends on something that was once against the rules. The forward pass only became a legal play in American football in 1906, which makes every leaping grab in this quiz the product of a rule change.
