Not quite a 25-yarder, but I always thought LaMont Jordan's run in OT against the Chargers in the 2004 wild card game was a big play. It was a nail-biting game and the Jets were driving at the San Diego 34. Jordan took the ball with 1:54 left in the first OT period, bounced to the outside and went for 19 yards to put the Jets in field goal range. After the agony of the Barton roughing the passer penalty I thought the game was lost, then the Chargers had a FG to win it and missed. I was emotionally exhausted, then Jordan rumbled for the big gain that essentially won it for the Jets. A great clutch play.
lol. I remember he was celebrating like he won the superbowl. meanwhile we were still losing by like 40 points in that game!
Actually it was Matt Brock. I think John Bock was the long snapper. And the TD actually happened in the first half. The game was actually tied at 14 at one point before halftime. I was there, and the fondest memory for me was seeing Wayne Chrebet's first pro catch. An amazing circus grab that wowed everybody -- even the PhinPhans...
Well it does say kicks cant count. But John Hall's 53 yarder to win the Raiders game to get us into the playoffs in I think 2000? or one of those years was pretty sweet. Then again we lost to the Raiders in the wild card game.
