Giants-Eagles rivalry and the NFL punt that lives in infamy

Giants-Eagles Rivalry and the Infamous NFL Punt

DeSean Jackson and Matt Dodge recall a 15-year-old punt and a walk-off return that will forever be remembered in NFL history.

On December 19, 2010, the Eagles achieved another miracle at the Meadowlands as DeSean Jackson returned a punt to cap off a massive Eagles comeback as time expired.

Last weekend, the New York Giants allowed 33 fourth-quarter points against the Denver Broncos, losing a game that seemed impossible to lose. This was the first time in 1,602 instances that an NFL team leading by 18 or more points with six minutes left did not finish with a victory.

"This ranks up there with the '02 [playoff] loss to San Francisco,"

said Bob Papa, the Giants' longtime radio announcer, also comparing it to 2010.
