From ESPN statistics:


In Tom Brady's career, he has 7 postseason game-winning drives, more than 3 times the amount of any other remaining QB in the playoffs. In fact, if you added up the total game-winning drives in the playoffs from the other 7 QB in the postseason, Flacco, Wilson, Romo, Manning, Luck, Rodgers and Newton they would equal...7...the same amount of game-winning postseason drives as Brady.

With that 1st-quarter rushing score, Tom Brady now leads all active quarterbacks with 5 postseason rush TD.

He also now holds the record for most postseason passing TDs for a career with 46, one more than Montana and two more than Favre.

Boy, that looked like a catch by Dez Bryant. It looked like he reeled it in, took a few steps and the ball popped loose when he hit the ground, but his hand looked to be under it also. Really surpised they overturned it, though I guess I shouldn't be considering the game was in GB and we have the precedent of the home team(Dallas, coincidentally) getting the breaks from last week.

I though it was a catch too.  I wanted the Packers to win (actually more indifferent, but if I had to choose...), but thought Dallas robbed.  Great catch.  I guess the rule supports the decision, but the eye test (for what its worth) tells me that he caught and had possession of the ball before hitting the ground.

Yeah, that really is a terrible rule. That's a catch in my book, just like the Calvin Johnson play from a few seasons ago.

But I have zero sympathy for the Cowboys, screw them. I think I dislike them even more than the Lakers.

Indy looks good today, but hard to judge because Denver looks awful.   Big call to reverse the muffed punt.  Can't see Denver coming back.

IDK NG, Luck has now thrown two awful picks so far. A quarter+ is more than enough time to make up two scores.

But I hope you're right. :D

Normal Manning and I'd say yes, but this Manning -- I doubt it.   Just escaped there -- Anderson should have been down twice.  Maybe tide is turning...

The best is when explaining, I think either Aikman or Ferrara, started by saying, "i know common sense says this is a catch."  Then they explain how their rule goes against common sense.

If your rule goes against common sense, then how idiotic does that make you look?

Just seems to be nothing on Manning's throws.  It's like every long throw Indy can catch up to the ball.

And like Foreman after the rope-a-dope, he appears to have nothing left.

Wow what a way to end the season. Broncos looked unstoppable at the start of the season. Remember all of mannings milestones?  Seems do long sgo now.

I have a strong dislike for the Cowboys, but that looked like a catch to me, even after several slo-mo replays.

Then again, it could easily be argued that the Cowboys shouldn't have even been there this week after that ridiculous, terrible, reversed pass-interference call last week. So I don't feel sorry for them.

As for the Broncos-Colts game: Could it be that Manning has suddenly taken a career-ending nosedive? The Broncos really struggled in the last several weeks of the season.

Of course it's a catch: he has the ball secured and takes 3 steps. How is he not "established as a runner", it doesn't make any sense.

If you want to apply this whole "hasn't made a football move" reasoning in this arbitrary manner, you might as well scrap the entire rulebook and just toss a coin.

This being said, serves the Cowboys well after last week.

That's a dumb rule, but correct call. (Referring to Dez's catch)

Cowboys had their chance though. They let Aaron Rodgers shred them on one leg. Questionable play calling too. Shoulda fed Murray on those 3rd and shorts and 4th and shorts.
