2006 NFC Wild Card Game: Seattle Seahawks 21, Dallas Cowboys 20

"I'lI take responsibility for messing up at the end there. That's my fault. I cost the Dallas Cowboys a playoff win." - Tony Romo

For Romo it was the choke that started it all.

Even after replay overturned Jason Witten's 3rd down catch, bringing up fourth down on Seattle's 2-yard line, it still looked like the Cowboys were going to win this Wild Card playoff game.

Granted, Dallas was trailing 20-21, but with 1:16 left on the clock, all Cowboy kicker Martin Gramatica had to do was make a extra-point length, 19-yard field goal.

However, something funny happened on the way to the hold, the first time Pro Bowl quarterback fumbled the ball while teeing it up for his place kicker!

  • I laughed at him in 2006, mocked him again in 2007, now I'm starting to feel sorry for the guy, he can't win any big game in December or January
