The Jags faced off against the Pittsburgh Steelers on September 22, 1997—their first regular season, Monday night Football game. Not only would the Jags win this game, but it also still stands as one of the craziest endings in MNF’s history. The Jaguars were up by 2 with practically no times left. The Steelers tried for a field goal, which the Jags blocked, and Chris Hudson would return for a touchdown. As Hudson ran down the sidelines, the Steelers’ head coach cocked his fist back as if he was going to punch Hudson out of anger. The extra point was kicked and the Jags won—nearly 15 minutes after ABC stopped airing the game.
