ABC decides to show the reverse angle replay twice. Taylor stands quickly, waving to the Redskins sideline for medical help. “It sounded like two muzzled gunshots,” Theismann says later. Theismann ducks, and as Taylor falls and spins, his thigh strikes Theismann in the calf with enough force to snap the bones of Theismann’s leg.

He steps forward into the pocket to avoid Carson, but Taylor, rushing from Theismann’s blind side, leaps onto his back. “Theismann’s in a lot of trouble,” says play-by-play commentator Frank Gifford. Theismann looks to throw a deep pass, but he immediately faces pressure from Giants linebacker Harry Carson. Theismann hands the ball off to tailback John Riggins, who takes several steps forward and then pitches the ball back to Theismann. On first-and-ten from their own forty-six-yard line, early in the second quarter with the score tied 7–7, the Redskins attempt a trick play called a flea-flicker.
