Four Key Super Bowl Plays
...posted by Anthony De Rosa...
In today’s New York Times, Michael Strahan breaks down four key plays that led to one of the greatest upsets in Super Bowl history.
Among them is a play where linebacker Antonio Pierce, who calls the defensive plays, would wave his arms up and down to tell the defense to just line up and rush, basically a free for all, but while staying free of the ends.
The play was employed with 25 seconds left in the game, with the Giants having just scored the go-ahead touchdown, and Tom Brady was attempting to stage a last change drive of his own. Left tackle Jay Alfred took an inside route vacated by the center and caught a free lane to Brady.
