I think i know what i watched on this day- the two wild card games, Sisters, American Gladiators and On Scene: Emergency Response. If i remember, it looked like i'd have to switch back and forth between WLOS and WYFF- until 2:41 to go in regulation, quarterback Chris Miller threw a short pass to Michael Haynes which Haynes turned into a 61-yard touchdown that broke a 20-20 tie. Of course, the Saints could have sent it to OT, but they didn't. An interception by Tim McKyer with a minute left sealed the victory, but even then the Falcons got lucky. After intercepting the ball, McKyer chose to make a wild lateral to teammate Deion Sanders, who then lateraled to Joe Fishback. A mishap during any of those laterals could have sent the game to overtime(and me the ability to watch On Scene from the beginning.)
