    A defensive lineman getting a turnover and trying to run it in
    A goalie in hockey getting caught out of position and somehow diving to make a save
    A successfully defended corner kick in soccer turning into a counter
    Also, blocking a layup in basketball. This would be the most famous https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GD8feepwrE but honestly Tayshaun Prince did this several times in his career.

    Agree on the defensive lineman with the turnover for the TD. There was a 49ers lineman who had an interception for a TD back in the 1990s. I thought it was Michael Carter, but they're showing that he never scored a TD.

    The bicycle kick in soccer.
    The falling out of bounds shot in basketball.
    A successful Hail Mary that goes to the player targeted by the QB. I'm thinking Flutie-Phelan, Stewart-Westbrook
    A walkoff HR in baseball
    The called third strike to end an inning.
    A RB or a returner who is hit by eight or more defenders who still scores.
    A triple or inside the park HR where there is clearly no error.
    Stealing home when it's not a passed ball.

    The back-to-your-opponent, between-the-legs shot in tennis. Usually done in desperation, but sometimes . . .

    One I left out -- in hoops, when a defender pulls the chair.

    Fake punts and kicks.

    Punters trying to run the clock out before taking a safety.

    Goalies shooting at the open net.

    Half court shots.

    The game-losing UNintentional walk following the intentional walk to "set up the force."

    A really well-oiled 6-4-3 for the double play.

    Oscar Robertson.

    The RB giving a tackler a leg, then taking it back.
