It happened midway through the third quarter of a Week 6 game.
The New York Giants had tumbled down a deep, dark hole against the Philadelphia Eagles, from which there seemed no return. They trailed 20-0, a deficit that made Giants head coach Tom Coughlin crave quick points. A field goal on fourth down from Philly’s three-yard line was still a failure.
