Mr. Magoo 

Used as a verb, this describes when a person succeeds, not through deliberate action, but through sheer dumb luck. Despite all odds and opposition, the person emerges victorious, sometimes not even aware that he has succeeded, like the cartoon character Mr. Magoo. Can also be used as a sports term, when a team plays a terrible game but somehow through luck emerges victorious at the end. Can be referred to simply as "Magoo".

"Hopefully the Patriots can Mr. Magoo their way to another win like last game."
