Owens stared at his outstretched right hand after the game as if he was still trying to fathom his spinning one-handed grab to start Toronto’s 90-second, game-winning scoring drive. “That is the turning point of the season” said Owens, who finished with 11 catches for 176 yards. And finally Owens capped a day in which he set a franchise record with 402 combined yards with an 18-yard catch, part of the final drive that set up Swayze Waters’ third field goal, from 34 yards, to give Toronto a 33-30 win.
Then cornerback Ahmad Carroll returned Henry Burris’ second interception 37 yards for a touchdown, followed by a 26-yard field goal that gave Toronto its first lead since the first quarter. “The past two years, if the same situations happens, I’m sorry to say we’re out of the game,” Owens said later, before smiling about the 22 points Toronto scored in the final 10 minutes.įirst, Ray led a 57-yard touchdown drive in a three-minute stretch.
