The pain is still fresh for fans. With 10 seconds left and the on their own 39-yard line, all the Saints had to do was not allow a touchdown and they were on to the NFC title game.
But then, rookie Marcus Williams mistimed his attempted tackle on , and the rest is history.
Marcus Williams was more worried about committing PI than breaking up the pass.

The play opened up old wounds for Broncos fans, who instantly took to Twitter with memories of the infamous misplay by safety Rahim Moore back on Jan. 12, 2013 against the Ravens. Moore mistimed his leap and allowed a 70-yard touchdown pass from to that helped send the AFC divisional round game to overtime. Eventually, the Ravens would go on to win.
Hey fans…… we know exactly how you feel.

After the Broncos’ loss to the Ravens in 2013, Moore took the blame for his epic blunder.
“I’m taking the blame for it. Hey, I lost the game for us. It is what it is,” Moore said.
Many Broncos fans, it appears, still have not forgiven him. Though at least he now has company in NFL playoff infamy.
“You can’t let it beat you down,” Williams told reporters after Sunday’s game, his eyes still reddened by the tears. “I’m going to take it upon myself to do all I can to never let that happen again. If it happens again, then I shouldn’t be playing.”
Rahim Moore has finally exhaled and passed the torch.

Yes! That absolutely was worse than Rahim Moore. If he tackles him in bounds the game is over. Moore’s mistake resulted in double OT
