Yes it was, but he just jumped into the bed Umenyura made for him. If the NE D. hadn't held Brady down completely, Eli would have been 21 points behind and never had a chance for the last minute heroics. You have to look at the whole game, not just the fun part at the end.
The guys in the trenches are who got it done on this SB. Keeping Eli vertical and Brady Horizontal was the difference in the game.
How many games has a defense ever won? I mean, let's just assume that the offensive line just stays in the locker room.
The defensive line performed amazingly. The offense is what scored 17 points.
Yes, but the D is what put the O in a position to win. Great game plan, great execution.
But even if I give you your point, it was the O-LINE that gave Eli the chance (except maybe that Great Escape -- OOH OOH I have coined a name for that play -- the Great Escape!!! AHHH, I need to copyright it!!)
