On November 18, 2007, Dawson attempted a 51-yard field goal in the closing seconds of the fourth quarter to tie the game against the Baltimore Ravens. The Baltimore Ravens are a professional American football team based in Baltimore Maryland. The kick carried through the air, and bounced off the left upright, back onto the rear curved post, which bounced the football back out over the crossbar and into the end zone. The end zone is a term used in both Canadian football and American football. Under NFL rules, the play was not reviewable. The National Football League ( NFL) is the largest professional American football league. [1] Officials discussed the play amongst themselves for several minutes, and decided that, according to the rules, the kick was considered good, as announced by referee Pete Morelli.
