The Miracle at Jordan-Hare, Irish end Sooners' 47-game winning streak, and Mel Gray's Phantom Catch - This DiSH for Nov. 16

In 2013, two weeks before the 'Kick Six', Auburn had another miracle finish to beat Georgia.

In 1957, the Oklahoma Sooners lost for the first time in four years.

In 1975, St. Louis Cardinal receiver Mel Gray caught the game tying touchdown, but it was more a phantom catch than a real catch. The Cardinals won in OT.

In 2023, the Philadelphia Eagles released a player that hadn’t played for them for 29 years.

In 2008, the Eagles and Cincinnati Bengals ended a game tied 13-13. Philly QB Donovan McNabb didn't know that ties were still a thing in the NFL and admitted as much in postgame comments. He regretted that.
