The Miami Dolphins didn't make the playoffs despite making it to the Super Bowl. It's not one of the most memorable regular-season games of all time.
The play in which the Dolphins scored as time expired was one of the craziest in the history of the National Football League. The Dolphins ran a desperation play at the end of the game that was dubbed "pitchy, pitchy, woo woo." On that day, the Miami Dolphins scored a touchdown with triple zeros on the clock and won, despite the fact that the play was usually 12 seconds long.
The Dolphins were down by five points when they won the game. Las Vegas scored a controversial touchdown with just over 30 seconds remaining in the game to give them a 24-21 victory. They tried to get into a field goal range quickly, but they ran a halfback draw.
Maybe Rhamondre Stevenson runs a 50-plus yard touchdown on a draw play, which would have been the safest play for the Pats. He gained about 23 and then went into some wooing. The end result was the same as it was four years and nine days ago.
The Pats aren't one of the best teams in the league and are fighting for the top seed in the conference. The team is out of the playoffs after going to Las Vegas and losing. They will need to win their last three games to get back into the playoffs.
He took full responsibility for the performance. He said he was trying to be a hero. He said it didn't matter if Stevenson pitched him the ball or not. It was his responsibility to take care of the ball after he got it.
He probably wasn't the only reason that the Pats gave up on the playoffs. Stevenson should not have thrown the ball, and the other two should have knelt. From the Fox camera angles, it appeared that Cole didn't catch the touchdown pass with his feet.
This play doesn't happen on a big stage, so it will go largely forgotten until the next time it happens. It is the second time in less than five years that one of these plays has resulted in a loss for the Pats, and it is the lowest point of the season for the team.
