Saturday marks the five-year anniversary of one of the most astounding comebacks in NFL history.

The "Miracle at the New Meadowlands" saw the Philadelphia Eagles overcome a 31-10 deficit with just over eight minutes left in the game, shocking the New York Giants en route to an NFC East crown.

The comeback was capped off by a ridiculous punt return touchdown by polarizing wide receiver DeSean Jackson. In a stunning reversal of fortunes, the Eagles pulled themselves back from the brink of playoff elimination and went on to play the Green Bay Packers on Wild Card Weekend.

The Giants failed to make the playoffs despite a Week 17 win over the Washington Redskins, losing the tiebreaker to the Eagles because of this game.
