Two goals in the final three minutes earned Rotherham an unlikely draw against Yorkshire rivals Huddersfield at the New York Stadium.
James Vaughan connected with Sean Scannell's low cross before Conor Coady headed in as the visitors took control.
Jonson Clarke-Harris' header from eight-yards in the 88th minute gave Rotherham hope.
And Lee Frecklington's thunderbolt from 20 yards in the final seconds earned a share of the points.
Huddersfield had been looking for their first away win since 1 October, and just their third all season, and Vaughan looked to have set them on their way.
Forward Scannell's pace caused Rotherham problems all afternoon, and he saw an early pin-point cross prodded wide by Grant Holt.
Vaughan made no such mistake as he turned in his first goal in more than a year to give the visitors a 35th-minute lead.
The home side continued to struggle after the break and following a sloppy pass from Emmanuel Ledesma, Huddersfield stole the ball and Oscar Gobern's cross was turned in by Coady to double the visitors' lead.
Huddersfield looked primed to add to their tally as Jacob Butterfield and Harry Bunn both came close with shots from outside the area.
However, the Millers took a point as Clarke-Harris and Frecklington were both on target in a pulsating final three minutes.
The draw extended Rotherham's unbeaten run to five matches as they remained five points clear of the drop zone.
Rotherham boss Steve Evans: "When you're 2-0 down with a couple of minutes left, we're delighted [to draw]. A point in the Championship is a good day.
"I'm pleased for all my players. We came in yesterday when we could have taken the easy option and got our rewards in the end, our fitness levels showed."
Huddersfield manager Chris Powell: "We really should be walking away with the three points - it's two points dropped for us sure.
"I was really happy with what I was seeing, we just didn't manage to see it out."
