The final four are set in the NFL playoffs.<\/p>\n
In next weekend\u2019s conference championship games, Seattle will host the Los Angeles Rams for the NFC crown, while in the AFC, New England will travel to Denver to play the Broncos.<\/p>\n
The playoffs in the CFL and NFL are the best times of the year, as the heightened urgency of win-or-go-home pushes teams to pull out all the stops, including emptying the trick-play section of their playbooks.<\/p>\n
Legendary Saskatchewan Roughriders quarterback Darian Durant reflected on the SportsCage on one trick play that he will never forget.<\/p>\n
“There was a trick play that was called with Weston Dressler, and it was a reverse pass where the quarterback goes out the other side of the field. All I told Weston all week was, “Give me a chance.” Even if I’m covered, give me a chance. We were in Edmonton at Commonwealth Stadium, and George Cortez called the reverse pass, and Weston threw it up to me. I was covered a little bit. He gave me a chance, and I was just so unathletic at the time. I couldn’t jump. I couldn’t get off the ground. The ball just went so far over my head, and I thought it was a great throw. So I’m more disappointed in him for calling the play and giving me an opportunity, and in me not being able to make a play, than in not calling it at all. I’m just mad I didn’t make it happen, and I’ll never forget that. Never.\u201d<\/p>\n
Durant admits they executed the play in practice.<\/p>\n
“Every time. Every time. But that’s just how it is, man, in practice. It’s easy. And then you get in the game, and something always goes wrong.”<\/p>\n
