miracle in new meadowlands

Credit: DeSean “DJax” Jackson Philadelphia Eagles NFL miracle at the new meadowlands was one of the wildest finishes in nfl history. december 19, 2010, eagles vs giants, with playoff implications on the line. the giants led 31–10 with just over 8 minutes left. then came the comeback. michael vick went off, two rushing touchdowns, a bomb to brent celek, and suddenly it was tied 31–31 with under 20 seconds to go. the giants were forced to punt. then it happened. desean jackson muffed the catch, scooped the ball, found a crease, and housed a 65 yard walk off punt return touchdown as time expired. no flags. no time left. eagles win 38–31. the first and only time in nfl history a game ended on a punt return touchdown. absolute chaos. i remember the game and emotions of that day clearly. djax is one of my all time favorite eagles. going back to cunningham era.
