Tommie Hill scored on a bizarre
18-yard fumble return as time ran out and the New York Giants
scored a 24-17 victory over the Carolina Panthers on Monday night.
Fourth-string quarterback Hunter Cantwell had tied the game with
57 seconds to play, taking Carolina on an 88-yard drive. He ran for
21 yards and passed for 67 on the five-play drive that ended with a
31-yard scoring pass to Jason Chery and a 2-point conversion pass
to Andrew Davie.
The Giants had a three-and-out series and Jeff Feagles punted 56
yards to the Carolina 18 with 10 seconds to play.
Cantwell went back to pass on the next play and his arm was hit
by Leger Douzable. The ball went in the air and Hill grabbed it and
scurried into the left corner of the end zone for a shocking
ending.
