Presented with the towering task of surviving a seesaw battle during 1979's Wild Card Round, the Philadelphia Eagles, appropriately, placed the challenge into the gloved hands of their one-of-a-kind luxury: NFL history’s tallest wide receiver. Lined up in a three-point stance, Harold Carmichael showcases flawless concentration on a slant route that zips between three different Chicago Bears defenders for a 17-yard touchdown before returning later, connecting on a 29-yard downfield play-action score, prompting a second half tie. No. 2 in touchdowns (11) with a sixth-place Most Valuable Player finish in 1979, the 6-foot-8 Carmichael shined on the postseason stage with six catches, 111 yards, and two touchdowns, ensuring a 27-17 victory on Dec. 23, 1979.
