What you fail to realize is Greg Zuerlein probably has the leg to make it from 70 yds. SP knew this and was trying to get 7. It's a TD without the intentional non existent PI. I believe there was actually a run play called but Brees noticed the confusion with the defense and called an audible to pass. (Hints why Robey-Coleman bee lined straight for TLL ,he had no idea where the ball was.)

No it was the first down play the was a run and he audibled out of. The 3rd down play we had no choice but to throw it to try and pick the first down up because clock was stopped at that point.

Agree on the first point. I believe Payton and Brees calculated they would need one more first down to bleed the clock out. Brees simply did not execute.

I saw an analysis on the Tommylee play. It was a great play design (one we usually run for Kamara) and it confused the Rams. Their secondary was messed up prior to the snap. Of course we know how the play unfolded with the db out of position and chasing.

That's the bitter pill I can't swallow. The Rams were rewarded for bad play with a SB berth. Unacceptable.
