The Miracle
The play was named “Home Run Throwback” by the Titans and was developed by special-teams coordinator Alan Lowry. As to who would make the throw, Frank Wycheck was discovered one day by offensive coordinator Les Steckel playing a throwing game with lineman Bruce Matthews entitled “Reindeer Games,” which they invented to play while the two were bored at practice. Steckel then designed an option pass play with Wycheck in mind. When the team ran the play against the Atlanta Falcons in 1999 season, Wycheck threw a 61-yard touchdown pass. After the success, Lowry assigned Wycheck to throw the lateral. Steve Christie executed a pooch kick that was fielded by Lorenzo Neal, who handed the ball to Wycheck, who nearly ran into him. This formed the key shift in the play: The Bills chased Wycheck to the right side of the field. Wycheck threw the ball across the field where Dyson was positioned. Every Bills defender was going toward Wycheck, except for Christie. Dyson ran 75 yards into the end zone.
