description

Fourth quarter, third-and-goal, down by seven. Jimmy Smith and the Jaguars faced this critical situation on this play against the Bills in the Wild Card Round. With the play clock dwindling, Smith set up for a screen pass, catching the ball behind the line of scrimmage and fighting his way into the end zone for the game-tying score. Smith tallied 58 yards and one touchdown on five catches in this one, as the Jaguars prevailed over Buffalo, 30-27, to secure the first playoff win in franchise history on Dec. 28, 1996.
