"The Miracle at the Meadowlands": A Game That Will Go Down in NFL History

The Philadelphia Eagles versus the New York Giants game on November 19, 1978, will always be remembered as one of the most epic moments in the history of the National Football League (NFL). It was a game that showcased the true spirit of the sport with unexpected twists and turns that kept fans on the edge of their seats until the final seconds were played.

The Giants were confident of a victory as they had been leading throughout the game. In fact, they controlled the game, and with just 31 seconds remaining on the clock, they had a 17-12 lead and possession of the ball. Most people had given up on the Eagles, except for the quarterback, Ron Jaworski, and the legendary coach Dick Vermeil.

The Eagles managed to force a fumble, and Herm Edwards picked up the loose ball and ran 26 yards to score the game-winning touchdown. The play is now famously called "The Miracle at the Meadowlands." The Giants' defensive coordinator's decision to not kneel the ball and hand it instead to their running back, Larry Csonka, proved costly as he never received the ball, and the fumble occurred.

The play was so unexpected that the Giants players were stunned, and the Eagles players couldn't believe what had just happened. The fans at Giants Stadium were left in disbelief. The game was over, and the Eagles won 19-17, leaving the Giants to rue the loss of what seemed like a guaranteed victory. new balance 2002r grey castlerock
