Jaguars Complete Miracle End-Of-Half TD Pass In Torrential Downpour

by Timothy Burke | 2:45 pm, September 25th, 2011

With six seconds left in the first half, the Jacksonville Jaguars would normally have turned to ace kicker Josh Scobee to kick a long field goal. But with conditions in Charlotte being more apt for the local NHL team’s nickname than the NFL’s Panthers, a kick was out of the question — which meant rookie Blaine Gabbert (in his first career start) had to attempt a touchdown pass in weather that made throwing, let alone catching, a ball difficult.

So of course he completed the pass to Mike Thomas and gave the Jaguars a 10-5 halftime lead in a feat we’re calling the “Rain Mary.”

Ethan Strauss Minor footnote: Tim Duncan might have had the best half in Finals history.

Zach Lowe @MikePradaSBN Yup. MIA has been doing that a lot last two games with their bigs. Stu Jackson raises his fist.

Mike Prada Here's Miami employing the "stand out of bounds" strategy on a LeBron 4Q post-up that may soon be illegal. http://t.co/hMIEol1uPf

James Herbert RT @Pflanns: Looking at the box score. Kawhi had 22 and 11 and was the only Spur to make a shot in OT after missing that FT. Tough kid

Ethan Strauss There's more anti-Heat anger to argue against RT @TheWZRDofGROZ I agree with most of your comments, but you seem to side with the Heat a lot
