One of the greatest if not THE Greatest EFFORT plays ever

i used to love ben watson with the pats

He had so much talent but he couldnt catch a cold

Gronkowski and hernadez came in this year and showed what he should have been doing

I don't remember this play. Was it in the playlets? Did time expire during the run or were the broncos unable to convert the TD on the goaline? What was the significance?

MEH

Broncos scored. The significance really is in enjoying the effort. IE, had the ball gone out of the EZ, the Pats would've gotten the ball back.

Basically, it's a play that no one would've questioned had Watson stopped running at the 50 yard line. He put that effort in on the SLIGHT chance that A)He'd catch him and that B)It would matter.

THAT'S called playing the game right.

No doubt it was a great hustle play and pertains to your thread, just wondering the significance since Kraft and company made it seem like that play got them into the superbowl or something. So the broncos still scored the TD and the pats still won the game? Was this even in the playoffs?

Playoffs. Broncos won. So yeah, it's nothing more than a great effort play.

I just enjoy watching it because if I were coaching, I'd show that damned play to my teams EVERY year. I'd probably tell them, "I don't expect you to always make great plays like this but I DO expect you to put in the same effort!"

What a great play. Thanks for posting.

UGA UGA UGA UGA!

This would be a horse collar tackle now.

Some of this is probably due to the difference in speed running the 40 and speed while wearing pads. The NFL should make everyone wear pads while running the 40 to get a true idea about game speed.

Awesome. I love how it's not just pushing him out either, he hits him pretty good, uses that head of steam to do work
