The NFL wrapped up its preseason over the weekend with a full slate of games that everyone has already forgotten about in the looming shadow of Week 1. So you'd be forgiven if you missed one of the wilder plays you'll ever seen in an organized football game on one of the last weekend evenings of the summer.
The San Francisco 49ers and Las Vegas Raiders were tied 24-24 with three seconds to go on Friday night when 49ers quarterback Tanner Mordecai, a rookie out of Wisconsin, tried to snatch victory form the jaws of a draw. Standing at his own 45 with three seconds remaining, Mordecai took a shotgun snap and rolled to his right. Seeing a number of teammates near the goal line, he heaved the ball about 55 yards downfield towards the end zone. While the Raiders were the first to get to the pass, the ball ended up in the hands of Trent Taylor.
