I had one of the most exhilarating experiences of my life this past Sunday in Charlotte as I was able to attend the Panthers-Saints game. What a blast! It was such an exciting game. Low-scoring, but hard-fought. My friend wanted to leave, with five minutes to go in the game, after the Saints scored a touchdown and went ahead. He wanted to leave again, with two minutes to go, as the Panthers decided to kick the ball away to the Saints. Many others -WERE- leaving. I told him, "Let's stay. I know something is going to happen. Just believe." I must admit, it didn't look good. But we stayed, and what appeared to be a miracle happened. We got the ball back and scored with 23 seconds left.
This video pretty much
tells the story. This was at the end of the game, as the Panthers had
just scored the go-ahead touchdown with 23 seconds left, and then the
PA announcer shared the news that the Panthers were indeed going to the
NFL playoffs, the first time in five years. Everyone was pretty
excited, as you can probably tell from the video. Just watch and
listen. =)
Go Panthers!
