description

As the clock neared expiration in the NFC Championship Game between Atlanta and Minnesota, the Falcons found themselves down by seven, but in position to strike. And strike they did, with receiver Terance Mathis securing a laser of a pass in traffic by the goal line for a 16-yard, game-tying score. Mathis had six catches for 73 yards and two touchdowns in this one, as the Falcons went on to beat the Vikings in overtime, 30-27, on Jan. 17, 1999.
