Okay, so there's 9 seconds left in the 4th quarter and I'm down by 3 points. My opponent is on my 9 yard line. I have no timeouts left. Instead of kneeling it, he tries for a TD. Rod Woodson intercepts his pass in the end zone with 3 seconds left (touchback). I'm sitting there, bracing myself for defeat. I call Hail Mary, fully expecting to lose. He comes out in Prevent, and my heart sinks. I hike the ball and reluctantly chuck a prayer with Ken Stabler (I did not throw he could throw that far), and he throws it about 70 yards to Dwight Clark. My opponent manually takes control of Lem Barney in an attempt intercept it, but somehow, Clark comes down with it AND manages to run the final 10 yards for a TD and the win. They're both definitely worthy of the clutch attribute...

:D

Yeah, I've had those games. Nothing better than sending a "gg" message assuming you have the L and then pulling out the miraculous win.

On the flip side, it is horrible when it happens to me. I just lost one to wreckers a couple of days ago where I was up 8, he was in man press with 2:30 left so I went to the streak and his lem barney left his man assignment and leaped for a one handed pick. needless to say that was the momentum shift he needed for the victory.
