#TBT: DeSean Jackson stuns Giants with Miracle at the New Meadowlands
Four years ago tomorrow, DeSean Jackson stunned the football world and capped a thrilling Philadelphia Eagles comeback against the New York Giants with a game-winning punt return touchdown as time expired.
The play itself is among the most improbable ever - Jackson muffs the punt and runs backwards, yet somehow recovers and manages to elude every New York defender before showing off a little real-life Madden clock-killing skills by running parallel to the goal line - but the events leading up to it are just as incredible.
With just under eight minutes to play, the Eagles trailed by 21 points. They scored four touchdowns in the final seven minutes and 28 seconds of play. The final cherry on top of the play? The win put the Eagles in the playoffs and knocked the Giants out.
Giants punter Matt Dodge - who punted the ball straight to Jackson rather than directing it out of bounds - never played another season in the NFL.
