It’s called the River City Relay and it was a miracle worth telling your grandchildren about. The Saints had rallied back against the Jaguars and as time expired, they tried one last thing. They used three laterals to get down the field and score the ball, bringing the game score to 20-19.

It was up to John Carney to tie the game and send it to overtime. A simple field goal was all that was needed. Carney botched it and ruined one of the most miraculous comebacks ever.
