Eagles Stun Giants on Game’s Final Play
NY Times ^ | 12/19/2010 | John Branch

The best quarterback for most of the game was Eli Manning. In the end, it was Michael Vick, and the Philadelphia Eagles who stunned the Giants to take tenuous control of the N.F.C. East with two games remaining.. Vick led a furious rally to erase a 21-point fourth-quarter deficit, pulling the Eagles into a tie with 76 seconds left in the game. Then, with overtime seemingly inevitable, DeSean Jackson returned a punt 65 yards for a touchdown on the last play of the game

Even if Dallas had lost to Washington after being up 27-7, this still would have been the biggest choke of the day.

Of the millenium, from the perspective of this Giants fan. The G-Men are dead to me.

G-Men had a 31-10 lead in the 4th quarter and get owned once more by the Eagles. Can’t stand the Eagles but the Giants are chumps to lose like this collapse. Vick and Eagles deserve congrats however.

Giants now have a huge game against GB next week. Had the Eagles lost this week, they likely would have missed the playoffs entirely due to tiebreakers. Now they’re looking good to clinch a 1st round bye.

Unbelievable errors by the Giants. Unprepared for onside kick, no shadow for Vick, a punt right to the return man. Get a new defensive coach and punter.

This game will go into the dictionary as the illustration for choking. The onsides kick was the best I have ever seen, and the Giants were completely unprepared for the possibility of one.

Damn! I should’ve watched that one. I spent all afternoon watching the hapless Dolphins slither into playoff oblivion (like they had a chance anyway).

One of the most exciting I’ve ever watched.

One of the most exciting I didn't get to watch.

The NFL rules required it to be cut off on the quarter hour. I realize I can watch the final few minutes online -- but that's after the fact. I wish I could have seen this remarkable comeback as it happened.

The most sickening game I’ve had the displeasure of watching in my whole, entire life. Barf.
