Jordan Jude Babineaux (born August 31, 1982) is a former American football safety. He was signed by the Seattle Seahawks as an undrafted free agent in 2004 out of Southern Arkansas University.
He is most notable for his game-saving effort in the 2006 NFC Wild Card game when he tackled Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo on a 4th down scramble just short of the first-down marker after Romo fumbled the snap for what might have been a game-winning field goal for the Cowboys. He also intercepted a Drew Bledsoe pass against the Cowboys in 2005 with 3 seconds remaining, allowing his kicker to kick the game winning field goal as time expired.
Babineaux was Dopke.com’s National Special Teams Performer of the Year, was a second team selection on the D2Football.com All-America team, was a first team All-South Region pick on defense, and was a first team All-GSC defensive back. He tied two NCAA Division II records, set two GSC records and tied another, and set two school records for Southern Arkansas University.
Babineaux was signed as an undrafted free agent out of Southern Arkansas University on April 29, 2004. He was a member of the practice squad following training camp, and signed to the active roster on November 26, 2004. In Seattle he is known as "Big Play Babs". He earned this nickname after a game-changing interception against the Dallas Cowboys on October 23, 2005. He intercepted a pass by Drew Bledsoe and returned the ball to the Cowboys' 32 yard-line with five seconds left in the game, setting up a game winning Josh Brown field goal.
