I saw someone call this play “The Fumble in the Jungle” and I think we should make that official.

Nah, I would say the phrase Fumble in the Jungle is more apropos to the Jeremy Hill fumble against the Steelers, that cost the Bengals a playoff win. When one calls something a fumble, the emphasis is placed on the person or team fumbling the ball. Like the butt fumble or the Romo fumble. Even the Giants didn't use Fumble in the Meadowlands, but Miracle in the Meadowlands. I would rather they put the positive spin on the Bengals, not the focus on the Ravens. And fumble also doesn't convey the 98-yard-run.

And not Rumble in the Jungle because that is the name of perhaps the most widely viewed sporting event in history, the Ali-Frazer bout in the middle of Africa. It will always dwarf this event.

I'm leaning more towards The Hubbard-Yard Dash at this point.   Which was really almost 100 yards if one considers that the ball was near the goal line when knocked out. And it conveys the excitement of the run from one end zone to the other.

Wham! Bam! Thank you Sam! is also quite creative.
