Atlanta Falcons @ Jacksonville Jaguars
ATL 17, JAX 19
Season 1996 · Week 17 · Dec 22, 1996
EverBank Stadium — Jacksonville, FL
With the franchise's first potential playoff berth on the line, the Jaguars were in a close battle with the Falcons during the last week of the regular season. Luck favored the Jaguars, though, as Hollis made his doinked field goal to go up by 9 in the early 4th quarter. Then, in the closing seconds of the game, with a potential game-winner from 31 yards lined up, Morten Andersen's plant foot slipped and the kick went wide left, and Jacksonville went to the playoffs. In the moments after Hollis's doink, Kevin Harlan prophetically commented: "How about that? Everything that can go right has gone right for Jacksonville and everything that can go wrong has gone wrong for June Jones and Atlanta."
