If you're a person who always wondered why more American football teams don't include more rugby-style laterals, then this miraculous game-winner is for you.

The Miami Hurricanes fell behind Duke 27-24 with just six seconds left on the clock, but conjured up an incredible kick-off return to win the game on the final play. The return included eight lateral passes as Canes eluded desperate Duke tacklers, eventually freeing up defensive back Corn Elder to finish off a 75-yard touchdown and spark wild scenes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvptretBCsk https://twitter.com/ESPNStatsInfo/status/660829900509679616
