NFL Craziest "Almost a Hero" Moments

second down and 11

wilson gets protection airs it out metcalf is there and it's knocked out of the back of the

end zone was he in? Play was made by the rookie Diggs

He's there and Diggs just lets up. Yep. And he was not in

No, it's just, and you don't see that from this guy. I mean, he's one of these guys who just never lets

up. He's full speed all game long and he just thought he was, he had beat

Diggs so badly. Great job by Diggs continuing to play, but that's an

inexcusable right there. Stafford's throw. Catch made. Touchdown Lions! It's Golden Tate, and they lead

for the first time today. Golden Tate, did he break the plane before his knee was down

After reviewing the plate, the ruling on the field has changed. The runner

was touched down at the half a yard line. He was short of the goal line

By rule, we would go back to a running clock, and we have a 10-second runoff

So, by rule, the game is over. One time down. The running back is Ewell

They give it to him. He can't get it. Ryan Pickett just basically undercut the whole defensive run

He's going to shoot underneath and takes the legs out from underneath the offensive lineman

trying to drive him back in. What a day. Operation mode for Chicago

Rush coming. Trubisky steps up. Trubisky uncorks. Deep ball on the way

It is caught! But he couldn't get in! Stopped at the one The Bears will fall short Chicago they needed 55 yards they got 50 seconds to go

Takes the snap, back to throw, steps up, fires it to the end zone, it's caught at the one yard line

Giants stand him up, he's not in, and the play's gonna run out. The Giants stopped him at the one yard line

Holy cow! Christian Kirk made the catch at the 1 And then the Giants rallied to the ball

And the ball Maybe 2 He's got to get it off quickly

And he doesn't And now he throws And it's caught But not in the end zone

Not in the end zone Here you see Chuyasasopo He's going to buy some time here

And maybe buying time Also taking time off the clock But he had to do that

Get out of there Tim Brown shouldn't have been a yard in front

He should have been a yard deeper. As you're moving, you have to know where the goal is

18th play of this drive, and they do want it. And they do not get it

The clock expires. And the Green Bay Packers have held on defense, but now we get whistles

And they're going to look at it to make sure, as Preston Smith and Kyler Fackrell come together to make the stop

Van Roten trying to pull him across. I thought when they first slung him there that he got it across

but I don't think there's a view that we're going to have that's going to show where the ball was

After reviewing the play, the ruler on the field stands. This is the end of the game

The second play. So now on first down, McNabb with a pocket

Throws. End zone. Just short of the end zone. That's Reggie Brown

Two seconds left. One second left. Game over. Brown did not get in

Came back for the football and was short of the end zone. And a pretty clear look that Reggie Brown did not break the plane of the goal line

And you wonder if maybe Reggie Brown cut that route just a little short

I mean, if he gets deeper in the end zone, he's able to drive and then be in the end zone at the point of the cap

And the play clock is down to three. And here we go. And Wilson throws. Caught

And it is going to be Hollister. And is this a fumble

Does he get over the goal line If he does none of the rest of that even matters On one of our shots we see that shoulder hit before he turns the ball and it breaks the plane Right there That the one

Oh my. To the end zone. Touchdown, Pittsburgh! Jesse James

Two plays, they take it the distance. They are verifying it upstairs and there's no doubt it's going to hold up

No one touches him. That's going to stand. Looking at the football, possibly losing control here

Oh, that's what it is, Jim. They don't think he caught it. Oh, boy

I mean, he's got— Does he maintain control right here? He's got to maintain possession

Is that bobbling? Oh. After reviewing the play, the receiver in the end zone did not survive the ground

It's an incomplete pass. Oh, my goodness. It will be Pittsburgh's ball. Second down and ten

Play of the game. in regulation. It is caught by Dyson. Can he get in

No, he cannot. Mike Jones made the tackle. And the Rams have won the Super Bowl

Many people will wonder, why didn't they throw the football into the end zone

Well, the end zone is defended by about seven defensive backs. We try to throw it underneath

and hope one of your athletes makes a play. If this is a defensive back

trying to make this tackle Dyson doesn't go down quite as quickly. Mike Jones deserves an awful lot

of credit for being right there on the spot. A well designed play a play

that's designed to make first downs from just about that distance. And Mike Jones makes a sure

handed tackle. It comes down to one player making a play. And Mike Jones did that

Passes caught by one of the linemen. He's across the goal line

Yeah, but he's not eligible, though. That's the problem. I mean, he just took it

I mean, every offensive lineman that's ever been and is in this league

is watching that saying, you go. I mean, he got a good tough third down receiver

McNabb loading up deep for Deshaun Jackson. He hold it in. Oh, did he get over the goal line

Did he get over the goal line? Yes, he did. Touchdown. Oh it is very close That is close That would lead me to believe that he did not break the plane before getting rid of the ball And who knows what going on inside that helmet

Now, what happens to the ball afterwards? Adam Jones is out there. He walks away from the ball

Was it a backward pass and the ball did there? After your view, the runner lost control of the football prior to going into the end zone

By rule, the ball is long to Philadelphia on the one-round line, first and goal

This is almost like, do you remember the game? Was it in San Diego

The clock. Atlanta has five men deep, including Brian Finneran. Maddox lets it fly

All the way downfield. And it was caught. It's caught on the one

There's no time. The game's over. Oh, my gosh. This is going to be a day Plexiglade Beres will never forget

That's not in. But how could the Falcons let this happen? They had five men deep, including Finneran, who's 6'5", to knock it down

Finneran wasn't in front of him. Finneran was behind him. Tommy Maddox came up one yard short of a miracle

What an unbelievable game. And the exciting stars performed at the highest level

Bruce at the bottom. Banks is scramble. He's got plenty of room

He'll take it. He's short. Did he get it? He's short, he's going to call a timeout

Time is off the clock, time has expired. That's the end of the ballgame

They come up one yard short. It's when the official recognizes the timeout has been called

Watch your clock in the lower right hand of your screen. And it's an interception that will be run back by Trevathan for a pick six

they're saying touchback yeah look at this look at this if he drops it

and he does and it goes out of the back of the end zone it's going to be a

touchback out of the back of the end zone it is a touchback first down

you you would swear
