Security of Saints Marcus Williams lowered his head, lowered his right shoulder and found himself on the wrong side of a miracle.

"Life is going on," he told the Bleacher Report months after his missed tackle had made Stefon Diggs an eternal hero, and the Vikings a 29-24 win in the playoff playoff division NFC last year.

Life is not always a beach either.

In perfect position and needing only to play routinely to avoid the "miracle of Minneapolis", Williams was stunned and found himself on the list of the 10 most infamous non-forced mistakes of this man that should have been relatively easy. to run in the very last seconds. from a post-season game.

Here are the other nine, in the order in which they occurred:

Red Right 88, January 4, 1981: Known as "Kardiac Kids" that year, the Browns led 14-12 on Oakland's 13-meter line, while less than a minute was left to play in a divisional match played under a wind windy 4 degrees at Cleveland Stadium. Head coach Sam Rutigliano gave Brian Sipe the match – still known as Red Right 88 – with the stipulation of "throwing him into Lake Erie" if the game was not open for tight Ozzie play Newsome. It was a second run and a throw-in attempt on a 30-yard field was the backup plan. Instead, Sipe, the league's most valuable player that year, threw a wobbler on a double cover intercepted by Mike Davis.

The Fall of Darrin Nelson, January 17, 1988: Some will say that it is not a non-forced error. Redskins' cornerback Darrell Green played a role in the Viking ball's shock on the goal line. The Vikings were led 17-10 on the road in the NFC title game. They faced the fourth and final goal of the 6 with 56 seconds to go. Wade Wilson made a great pass. The ball slipped into Nelson's hands and hit his shoulder pads. Before he had time to gather it, Green made contact. The Redskins then beat Denver 42-10 at the Super Bowl.

Harmon wide open, January 6, 1990: In another division game at Cleveland Stadium, Jim Kelly and the Bills headed for a winning touchdown in the final seconds. Running back Ronnie Harmon was found in one corner of the end zone but dropped the pass. A game later, Clay Matthews made an end-game interception in a 34-30 win. The bills would reach the next four Super Bowls.

Junkin's bad snap, January 5, 2003: Poor Trey Junkin. The long-snapper has played 19 seasons but will be remembered for his one and only game against the Giants. Released from retirement after a year out of the game, Junkin made a shot that prevented a 41-yard placement attempt while there was only six seconds left to play in this wild game. The Giants had led 38-14 but lost 39-38.

Double mulligan from Nedney, January 11, 2003: Titan kicker Joe Nedney had three holes in a decisive shot to defeat the Steelers 34-31 in overtime in the division game. He missed twice before winning the match. The Steelers called a timeout just before the first 31-yard miss. Then, Dewayne Washington met the kicker on the second missed attempt, giving Nedney the 26-yard win.

Assistance from the Kasay Dynasty, February 1, 2004: The Panthers tied the Super Bowl XXXVIII at 1:08. Then veteran kicker John Kasay fired the kickoff out of bounds, giving Tom Brady and Adam Vinatieri the ball at 40. The Patriots won 32-29.

Statement of Romo of January 6, 2007: The Cowboys were led 21-20 in this wild card game in Seattle. They lined up for a 19-yard throw at the last minute. But Tony Romo dropped the pressure and was attacked while trying to run.

Moore was less, January 12, 2013: The Ravens led 35-28 behind the Broncos with 41 seconds to go and 70 yards from the goal line. With eight Broncos on the cover, the only job of defensive back Rahim Moore was not to be beaten. He moved away from the position and was thoroughly beaten for a score of 70 yards. The Ravens won 38-35 doubles in overtime.

Wild, wide Walsh, January 10, 2016: Vikings kicker Blair Walsh caught 27 yards with 22 seconds left in a 10-9 home loss to Seattle.
