Throwback Thursday - Domenik Hixon TD catch to beat the Taints

[OnlyPantherFaninMaine]

My first ever game at Bank of America Stadium. A moment I will never ever forget. I remember not even seeing the refs signal touchdown because I was in a state of shock and thinking for some reason that he may not have held on (was on opposite end of stadium) so I was trying to temper my excitement and then they showed the first replay after the review and I exploded like it was happening live.

What a great game to go to bust your cherry.

What a great game to go to bust your cherry.

Absolutely. Made the flight and whole trip worth it. Second ever game at BOA was the Cards playoff game this past season. Safe to say I've been lucky to witness two huge wins.

I believe that's the last catch Hixon had in the NFL. He signed with the Bears but was one of their last cuts in the preseason and decided to retire.

 

Luke and TD were absolute monsters. 2 picks and about a billion tackles between them.

 

I think he tore his acl.

I, too, was at this game. The rain was incredible. The crowd noise even more so. You know how when you shake a tree during a storm more water falls? I think to think the crowd and its restless nature shook the heavens that day and created some of the the deluge we experienced.

I never yelled so loud in my apartment. I dont think i could have jump higher or further even if i tried. This team will always be a special team for me cause watching them that season helped me turn life around. Never give up because nothing is impossible.

I cried after this happened. I went to the Buffalo meltdown earlier that year and the same play is what cost us the game.

Glad to see ron knows when to steal a good play

That and the Monday pats game of that year amazing

What a great game to be at! When you pour your heart and soul (and checkbook) into this team, this organization...games like that one make it all worthwhile. Lately, the rain games have been some of the best to attend (Jacksonville 2011, this, and the Cardinals playoff game).

Flashback: Now, it's on to Atlanta to kick the $&@! out of the Falcons!

When he caught that ball i didnt even celebrate or get loud. I had a double facepalm in my seat. I couldnt deal with the possibility of it being over turned.

Didnt make a peep until we kicked it off lol

 

 

don't worry lol I went nuts enough for 7 people

The Moreno's captured the excitement perfectly.  

 

Luis does a good job.

One of my favorite photos from that season....

 

 

 

I was about 20 feet from the catch. Unreal how the crowd erupted. Ears rang for the rest of the day.

Absolutely loved the Spanish language call of that
