description

One of the most iconic returns in NFL history didn't necessarily start out that way. New York punted to Philadelphia's DeSean Jackson with 0:14 to play and Jackson initially mishandled it, forced to pick it up off the turf with a swarm of Giants closing in. Jackson darted through one hole, then past another defender, then past the diving punter. One more block had Jackson in the clear. He ran along the goal line to drain the final seconds off the clock before taking it in to finish off the 65-yard score. The return gave Philadelphia a 38-31 victory on Dec. 19, 2010, a crucial late-season win that would help to propel the Eagles to an NFC East title.
