Name the QB and WR who connected for the TD, which, was the first time that expression was used.
Before that, such passes had been known as "alley oops", among others.

Was it Drew Pearson of the Cowboys making the catch? If so, not sure of the QB. Was it Roger Staubach?

Can't believe I got that right. I could visualize the catch, but did not know that was the first "Hail Mary." I always think of Doug Flutie to Gerard Phelan against Miami (I went to BC Law!), but figured the term was already in use before that one.

The original 'Hail Mary' actually came with about with 30+ seconds left, so after the extra points made it 17-14, the Vikings still had 23 seconds left. To me, the Hail Mary has always meant it's the last play possible in the game, but I guess not always, and certainly wasn't the case in thee original..... youtube.com/shorts/Pv3SaD4cZm4?feature=share
