So Al really blew that play up like, wow, this is unbelievable.
I never thought that Kevin Dyson had a chance because Mike Jones was right there.
And it really comes down to a missed tackle or a made tackle, and Mike Jones was right there on top of Dyson.
So I never really felt that it was as close as we made it sound, but certainly the Titans deserve a lot of credit for coming back in that game in the fourth quarter.
Some crazy stat.
The other thing, too, they always would burn timeouts.
The Rams were burning timeouts before the game even started.
They took two timeouts because they were laid out of the locker room.
I mean, that's how loose they were on offense, but they are also โ that's how great they were on offense.
They overcame the loss of those timeouts in so many critical situations.
No, I have to say that.
I have to say, working with Al Michaels, he did a great job.
He was treating it as if it was like the 1980 hockey team that beat the Russians.
And as a former player who was two years off the field, I was like, this is not even close.
I just felt like such a, ah, I didn't want the game to end on a play like that, but he made it sound a little bit closer than it really was.
You know, since I have to work the next morning, I don't do parties.
I've got to watch the game.
I've got to pay attention to the game.
I don't want to be distracted by somebody asking me about the game or asking me about the new Jet offensive coordinator or whatever else.
So I'll probably most likely start the first half with my grandkids and then get away from that and then just watch the final two quarters by myself just to make sure that I know exactly what's going on, all the situations, and paying attention to what the coaches are doing.
