Or any one of a thousand things. I read that the Pat's coach said a
field goal from that distance is 90 percent. Giving away a touchdown for
a minutes play when you need a touchdown is something altogether
different. His decision certainly showed his confidence in Brady's
skills. But then the vagaries of chance kicked in again.
I don't normally watch a whole Superbowl unless the 49ers are in it, but
I did this one. I enjoyed it and saw something you don't see "ever"; an
offensive back that didn't really want to score a touchdown.
