![]() Then Raiders quarterback Ken "The Snake" Stabler, a future Hall of Famer, moved his team down the field against the highly ranked defense of the Dolphins, who were only two years removed from their 17-0 season-the only perfect season in NFL history. This game was already on the verge of classic status when the Dolphins took a 26-21 lead with two minutes left. THE STAGE: Miami Dolphins-Oakland Raiders divisional playoff game, Oakland (California) Coliseum. Oakland's Clarence Davis (right) scored the winning touchdown against Miami in a 1974 playoff game. Harris caught the ball inches off the ground and, without breaking stride, sprinted into the end zone for the winning 60-yard touchdown. The ball ricocheted seven or eight backward toward Steelers rookie running Franco Harris, a future Hall of Famer, who was running downfield after blocking. The ball was on target but so was Oakland safety Jack Tatum, who smashed into Fuqua as the pass arrived. On fourth down, Pittsburgh quarterback Terry Bradshaw, a future Hall of Famer, threw a desperation pass down the middle for running back John “Frenchy” Fuqua. With 22 seconds left, Oakland had a 7-3 lead, and the Steelers had the ball at their 40-yard-line. Entering the game, the Steelers-founded in 1933-had never won a playoff game. THE STAGE: Oakland Raiders-Pittsburgh Steelers AFC divisional playoff game, Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh. It means you’re staring at the two shell, you have two verticals on that side, so you’re staring at the inside route when you’re looking at the outside vertical.With 22 seconds left in the Oakland-Pittsburgh playoff game, Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw connected on a desperation touchdown pass that ricocheted to rookie Franco Harris. Cover 2 look off, this was like a no-look, hole shot. He was cross-trapping, blocking, which means (Nelson) was coming up with the Mike and nickel. This was pressure they brought strong going on the play right behind Chad Greenway’s head. 27, 2013: 76-yard TD on a slant to Nelson. And then The Puma ran away from them all.”ġ2. So the safety was super wide, Paris Lenon had the one-on-one coverage - and he just bluffed him. And it was a perfect coverage for that play because they played two-man. And ran a lot of ‘lead.’ So we faked a ‘lead’ and Crabby faked a block. This year, in 2012, we ran a lot of split backs with a tight end in the backfield. Rodgers: “Crabby was great, that was a play we set up all week in practice. It is the longest TD reception by a Packers TE in 33 years, since Paul Coffman caught a 78-yard TD at Miami on Oct. Crabtree passes Lenon on a seam route and reaches an empty secondary/backfield, catches a perfect throw from Rodgers at the 43 and outruns everyone for career-long TD. 4, 2012, Lambeau: 72-yard TD to Tom Crabtree, who lines up left guard and acts as if he would be blocking for running back Ahman Green, freezing former Packers linebacker Paris Lenon. ![]() And as I rolled to the right, he was just wide open.”ġ1. It was Y to the back, sit to the X, Y was over the ball, Z was in the pivot hole, and it was Cover 2 and Greg was running just a conversion route. Greg was my fifth read on the play on the scout protection. Rodgers: “This one was a play that we put in that week. Safety Husain Abdullah bites hard on a Rodgers pump-fake, leaving Jennings deep and alone by 15 yards. Jennings gets behind cornerback Asher Allen on a go route down the right sideline. 23, 2011: 79-yard TD to Jennings for the third straight game of 70-yard-plus TDs. Once I threw it, Jordy kept backing him and almost collided. Once I pumped, the safety still was out of position. The strong safety had to get to the deep half on the other side Al was aggressive because he knew he had safety help. ![]() We ran a slant and go, but it was Cover 2 - and the safety didn’t get over the top. ![]() Nelson scores the fourth-longest completion in Packers history. Harris and safety Darian Stewart converge and then collide. Nelson takes off vertically and then slows to catch the underthrown ball at the GB 34. Nelson lines up wide left, opposite former Packer Al Harris, and does a double move when he fakes to the inside to bluff a slant while a double pump-fake by Rodgers draws Harris. ![]()
