Vintage Browns: 1979 OT win vs Jets

This 3 play sequence in 1979 vs the New York Jets is fun to watch. With only 34 seconds left on the clock in OT and the Jets with the ball on 3rd down in their own territory, the game is almost over and it seems that the best the Browns can hope for is a tie but in a matter of a few seconds, everything changes:

1. A terrible pass by the Jet's Matt Robinson is intercepted by Oliver Davis who makes a nice return.
2. A calm and cool Brian Sipe steps up and hits Dave Logan at the Jets 10
3. Don Cockroft punches the ball through the uprights for the game winning field goal
