The Clock Play was a famous trick play in American football, immortalized in what came to be known as the Fake Spike Game,[1] played on November 27, 1994. The contest was played by the National Football League (NFL)'s Miami Dolphins and New York Jets[2] that featured one of the most famous comeback plays in league history.[3] Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino ran a trick play, pretending to stop the game clock but instead threw a pass that scored the game-winning touchdown, ultimately giving Miami the 28–24 victory.
