Packet 8: Bonus 12
This game gets its name from an iconic call by commentator Al Michaels as time expired. For 10 points each:

[10h] Two answers required. One of these two NFL teams has subjected the other to a series of three “Miracles at the Meadowlands.” The third miracle came in 2010, when these divisional rivals were led by Michael Vick and Eli Manning.
ANSWER: Philadelphia Eagles AND New York Giants [accept Philadelphia for “Philadelphia Eagles”; prompt on New York for “New York Giants”; reject partial answers]
[10e] The typically-deadpan Joe Buck shrieked “Diggs! Sideline! Touchdown! Unbelievable!” as this team beat the Saints in the final seconds of the “Minneapolis Miracle.”
