In Their Own Story
The humidity of New Orleans hung heavy over Tulane Stadium as the clock ticked past two minutes. Fran Tarkenton wiped sweat from his brow, scanning the field for any open window against the Saints' collapsing defense. The crowd roared, sensing a potential upset in reverse, but Tarkenton's eyes were locked on the end zone. With one final play left, he handed off to Gale Sayers—no, wait, it was a quick slant to Charlie Waters who caught the ball and scrambled for precious yards. The clock stopped at 0:12. Fred Cox stepped onto the line of scrimmage, the noise deafening. He kicked, the ball spiraled high against the stadium lights, and time seemed to freeze before it sailed through the uprights.
