I was watching the NFL's Top 100 Plays on the NFL Network and learned something I never knew. When Jeff Fisher called the play, the wide receiver who had practiced the play was unable to take the field because he was hurt. So Fisher went to his backup returner and told him to enter the game. Unfortunately, he was cramping up on the sidelines and unable to go, so Fisher turned to his third option: Kevin Dyson, who eventually scored the winning TD.
The name of the backup returner who missed his chance at glory? Anthony Dorsett.
