description

With the game tied late in the fourth with under two minutes to go, All-Pro Giants linebacker jumped this route, leaped up and spun completely around while making the interception, and then promptly returned it 15 yards for what would prove to be the game-winning score, as well as the first touchdown of his NFL career. Thanks to Banks' big play, the Giants pulled this one out over the Falcons, 23-16, on Oct. 23, 1988.
