The Steve McNair Murder Mystery
Steve McNair, a former Tennessee Titans quarterback, was found dead on July 4, 2009, in a condo he rented in Nashville. His body was discovered alongside that of Sahel "Jenni" Kazemi, a 20-year-old waitress with whom he had an extramarital affair. Kazemi, an Iranian refugee with a troubled past, had recently been facing financial difficulties and had purchased a handgun the day before their deaths. The police concluded that Kazemi shot McNair and then herself, but lingering questions and inconsistencies have led some to believe there might be more to the story.

At the Rams' 27-yard line, McNair looks over the middle, considers running, then steps back, rolls left, rolls right, and finds himself in trouble back at the 40. He somehow escapes, fires downfield to Dyson, who catches it and is tackled at the 10. The Titans call for a timeout with seconds remaining. McNair's elusiveness is impressive as he escapes from Williams and Carter.
