I'm pretty sure Mary was writing this one up the moment Patriot coach Bill Belichick made the inexplicable decision to go for it on 4th-and-two on his own 28 yard line with just two minutes and eight seconds left in the game. For those who didn't stay up last night to watch the game, the Patriots made one of the all-time great coaching blunders to give the Colts the opportunity to make a miraculous comeback and extend their winning streak to something like 18 games. Peyton Manning took advantage and stuck a dagger in their heart with 13 seconds left. Indeed, much to everybody's surprise, the game hyped as "The Game of the Year" turned out to be the best game of the year.

ReplyDeleteThat game was amazing, even if I slept through much of the second half. It was always exciting to ask, upon waking for a moment, so, what's up now? I even saw the last seconds, unaware until later how it had unfurled in those late minutes.
Nice hiaku, Mary.
Enoy the Colts basking!
