With a 12-10 lead over the Philadelphia Eagles and only 31 seconds left in the game, all the New York Giants had to do was have quarterback Joe Pisarcik take a knee to run out the clock. Instead, they opted for a standard running. Pisarcik fumbled the ball trying to get to his fullback and blitzing defensive back Herman Edwards picked it up and ran 26 yards for the winning touchdown.
