The AFC divisional playoff game between the San Diego Chargers and the Miami Dolphins was also called “The Epic in Miami” as well as the “Miracle That Died.” With only six seconds remaining in the first half and Miami trailing 24-10, the Dolphins went for the “hook and lateral” play. On the Chargers’ 40-yard line, Dolphins quarterback Don Strock threw the ball to receiver Duriel Harris at the 25-yard line, who then threw the lateral pass to the streaking halfback Tony Nathan, who ran uncontested for 29 yards down the sideline for a touchdown that cut the deficit to 24-17 at the end of the half.
