Music City Miracle 2000 AFC Semi Final Game

For anyone curious enough to wonder, the designed special teams play you see executed was called "Home-Run Throwback," courtesy of Alan Lowery, the special teams coach.

And come to think of it, even if Dyson would have been stopped just shy of the endzone for some reason, they would have still been in field goal range with like 5 seconds left. So this was a total collapse by Buffalo's special teams.

Steve's reaction is classic. RIP Mac.

@CricketChapman This needs more thumbs ups.

very bad job by the announcers not to know the rules properly

[dolphinsneu]

@qman66 What are you talking about? They knew the rules perfectly.

[qman66]

@dolphinsneu listen in the beginning how they think it will be overturned. thats wat im talking about

[dolphinsneu]

@qman66 That's because at first, it does look like a forward pass. Then, after they see al the replays, they arrive at the right call. I thought they did a great job announcing. And they did KNOW the rules; forward = illegal backward or straight line = legal

If the refs called that back in favor of Buffalo, there was no way they were getting out of that stadium alive.

2:17 it goes backwards. lateral.

[TheMcGreevy]

Its a minor unimportant detail after a miracle, but they should have gone for two!

[cadidliac]

One of the biggest suck jobs by the officials!!

[bruce1chubb]

@cadidliac Not really, since it was mathematically proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that it was not a forward pass

[sdalt001]

@cadidliac If you watch the view 2:17-2:22, the ball moves BACK towards the 25 yard line. The ball moves diagonally backwards. If you watch the aforementioned time section over and over again, you clearly see the ball moves backward. Miraculous? Yes. A forward pass? Most certainly not.

One of the greatest plays ever

[rchammer900]

Your description is totally wrong. It was against the bills (the played the rams in the super bowl), and it was the AFC wildcard game (not the semi final)

[OrangeSodaKing]

NOT a forward pass!
