Vick’s Longest Yard

In a game that SI.com called a ‘feathered frenzy,’ Michael Vick and the Atlanta Falcons pulled out a 3-point win on a crazy Saturday night in the A-T-L. Thanks to my buddy Jeff Diecks and his season tickets, I was in the stands cheering myself hoarse. With a 24-10 lead theirs to blow, the Falcons let Muhsin Muhammad and the Carolina Panthers come back in a big way and take the lead. But like another great play I saw at the dome a few years back, reminiscent of the ‘longest yard’ heartbreaker for the Rams in the Super Bowl, Vick made an amazing dash for the end zone to tie the game and force overtime. A few plays and a key INT later (courtesy of Michael Beasley), Jay Feely kicked the game-winning FG. Great stuff, if a late night.
