The game started out very well for Denver. After forcing Washington to go 3 and out, the Broncos scored on their first play from scrimmage, when quarterback John Elway threw a 56-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Ricky Nattiel, giving Denver a quick 7–0 lead after just 1:57 had elapsed in the game. It was the earliest touchdown any team had ever scored in Super Bowl history (this record would be broken by Jerry Rice in Super Bowl XXIX, and later by Devin Hester in Super Bowl XLI). The Broncos quickly forced Washington to punt, and once again Elway displayed his superb scrambling skills. On the second play of Denver's ensuing possession, Elway completed a 32-yard pass to wide receiver Mark Jackson. Then he caught a 23-yard pass from halfback …show more content…
But this time they failed to score because Washington safety Alvin Walton sacked Elway for an 18-yard loss on third down, pushing the Broncos out of field goal range. This play would turn out to be the turning point in the …show more content…
On the Redskins' first play of the second quarter, receiver Ricky Sanders got behind defensive back Mark Haynes (who tried to jam him at the line of scrimmage), caught a pass from Williams, and took it 80 yards for a touchdown. After forcing the Broncos to punt on their next possession, Washington advanced to the Denver 27-yard line. Facing third down and 1, with Denver's defense expecting a running play, Washington decided to pass, and receiver Gary Clark made a diving catch in the end zone for a touchdown to give Washington a 14–10 lead. After the ensuing kickoff, Denver drove to the Washington 26-yard line, aided by running back Sammy Winder's 27-yard reception and Elway's 21-yard run. After Elway threw an incomplete pass on third down, however, Karlis missed a 43-yard field goal attempt. On the first play of the Redskins' ensuing drive, Williams threw a 16-yard completion to Clark. Then on the next play, running back Timmy Smith, a rookie in his first NFL start, took off for a 58-yard touchdown run, making the score
As time ticked away in the fourth quarter, the Denver Broncos started working on running the clock down. They ran the ball as much as they could then would punt the ball down the field and count on the Broncos defense to keep Cam Newton from getting the Panther offense going. And it worked. Von Miller, who was so big for Denver’s defense in the first half, caused Newton to fumble and the Broncos recovered the ball on the four yard line.
After the Eagles' offense scored on the opening possession, it was time for the defense to flex their muscles. The defense forced the Browns' offense into back to back 3 and outs, giving the ball back to Wentz and the offense.
During the annual Ely Tigers v. Dilard Panthers football game, the game was decided at the end of the 4th quarter during a touchdown scoring catch. The wide receiver, Donnell Wilson, caught the ball in the end zone to score. It was a clean catch in the right place at the right time that resulted in the game-winning touchdown.
In the annual Ely Tigers versus Dillard Panthers football game, there was a play caught at the last minute, giving the Ely Tigers the win. The score was 14-10, and Donnell Wilson caught the winning touchdown pass. How he caught it, no one was quite sure. All they knew was in the Ely-Dillard football game, the winning catch was caught by Donnell, it was lucky, and it was a team effort.
It was the flea flicker. Eagles quarterback Nick Foles handed the ball off to Clement who took a couple of steps and then pitched it back to Foles who threw a 41-yard scoring strike to Smith.
Peddicord would pick off a Hatfield pass, with 8:54 left in the game and he would take it to the house from about seventy-five-yards out. The point after kick was missed again,this time after a Newark Catholic penalty moved the ball back, causing a longer kick, on the windy night.
On second-and-goal, Patriots safety Patrick Chung was flagged for holding Demaryius Thomas on a play where Osweiler was sacked for a huge loss. If that flag wasn't thrown, the Broncos were looking at 3rd and goal from the 19-yard line. Just like that the game could have been over. Instead, due to the penalty it was first-and-goal on the 4-yard line.
Besides two long offensive plays, the defense shut down the offense, allowing only three touchdowns. One of those came from former Mountaineer quarterback Geno Smith to Shelton Gibson.
On second and goal, they tried hitting their running back in the flats on the right side of the field. Closing in with great pursuit, Dawson made an excellent open field tackle and forced a loss of one yard.
Julian Edelman had 11 receptions for 97 yards, Rob Gronkowski had five receptions for 94 yards and 3 touchdowns, and Dion Lewis, who clearly looks like he is Shane Vereen's replacement, had four receptions for 51 yards, out of the backfield. Brady ended his night going 25 for 32 with 288 passing yards, four touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Now that is how you come out firing on all cylinders in the opening game against an opponent who is known for having a hard nose defense. At one point, Brady completed 19 consecutive passes, which was a franchise record for completions in a game, as he picked apart the Steelers defense piece by piece.
There were many people at last night’s football game. There are also many differing opinion and accounts of Donnell Wilson’s last touchdown. This touchdown won the Game for Ely against Dillard. Many say this catch was legendary, here is the truth.
With the Dallas Cowboys trailing 23-17 with little time left in the 4th quarter, Longley found an open Pearson for a 50 yard touchdown pass; therefore Dallas won 24-23. This dramatic win with the odds stacked against the Cowboys has yet been beaten as the greatest moment in the Thanksgiving day series.
On the last drive of the game, Junior Dante Cecala converted on a fourth down to keep the Knights hope alive, but maybe the largest moment of the drive was a 36 yard throw from Drew to fellow senior, De'Angelo Roberson.
At first, the Patriots started strong in the first quarter as Wide Receiver Ron Gronkowski made a 23-yard touchdown. However, this action led the Broncos to strengthen their defense only to be met with more losses as the safety and defensive lineman were carted off with injuries.
The Texans defense then turned up the heat on the Chicago offense and Whitney Mercilus was able to strip sack Cutler, which led to another Houston field goal off of the turnover.
