THE STORY
On January 6, 2007, during the NFC Wild Card playoff game at Seattle's Qwest Field, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo mishandled the snap on a potential game-winning 19-yard field goal attempt with 1:19 remaining in the fourth quarter. Romo recovered the ball and attempted to run for a first down but was tackled at the 2-yard line by Seahawks safety Jordan Babineaux, resulting in a turnover on downs and a 21–20 victory for Seattle.
