The Jags just Big Benned the Texans

[Peyton]

Texans defender tried to knock it down and knocked it right into the hands of the Jags receiver for the winning TD. Too funny.

Lol...no, that's what they call it when you fire one long pass off at the last second in a desperation attempt to win a game or score a touchdown before halftime.

Bartkowski did it a couple of times for the Falcons to win games at the last minute.

If you dont know its the play the Falcons used to use with Bartkowski to win a few games...They called it Big Ben right or Big Ben Left... , has nothing to do with "Big Ben" the Pittsburgh QB...

Big Ben was the name of the play the Falcons and Bartkowski and the Falcons used as a last ditch effort.. used .. We pretty much invented the play.. They won like 5 games with it.. One to Alfred Jenkins, one to Alfred Jackson and one to Billy White Shoes that i remember and a few more...

Atlanta 28, San Francisco 24
Nov. 20, 1983

Although the Atlanta Falcons have been more lightweight than heavyweight in their 34-year history, they have produced several memorable Hail Mary finishes – and none better than the play Billy "White Shoes" Johnson made at home against the 49ers.

The play was called "Big Ben" and quarterback Steve Bartkowski heaved the ball down the left sideline on the game's final play. Somehow, Johnson not only made the catch at the 5-yard-line, but he managed to dance his way past many would-be tacklers to lunge into the end zone to complete the 42-yard play and give Atlanta the victory.

Five years earlier, Bartkowski had hooked up with Alfred Jackson for a 57-yard Hail Mary pass with 19 seconds left to beat New Orleans, 20-17. And in 1991, Billy Joe Tolliver found Michael Haynes for 41 yards with one second left to beat the 49ers, 17-14, in a key NFC West

I felt bad for him. How many times do we hear "just knock it down!". He tried to do what they say to do. Turns out he should have just caught that one.
