Jack, I was baffled by the kneel down too. Maybe still stunned by the last minute collapse? But very odd. Payton was great at times, but had some really bad plays. And that Dierdorf/Gumble team was annoying. They went on and on and on about Manning's fumble claiming it was on obvious open palm play. But to me it seemed clearly a fumble. He pulled the ball down to his side, had firm enough control for a couple of seconds and then had it knocked out. The replay confirmed it and they seemed shocked. But the last minute TD would give me nightmares if I was a Bronco fan. A hail Mary pass should have a better chance of completion than that. Crossed signals by the two defenders, Too shallow sets when they play started. but Flacco made an amazing throw. Huge distance, lots of height and still with lots of power.

The Harbaugh Bowl is now just two games away potentially. Their dad must be psyched that each has brought their teams back to this position again. Maybe he could do some work for an NFL team. Seventy - two year old Monte Kiffin is back. If only he'd take his son with him!
