Yeah, to be honest, that PI/Holding whatever the hell that hot mess might have been at the end never should have mattered.
- If McCourty doesn't get called for that holding penalty (what the hell was that? if all a receiever has to do is grab onto a DB for all he's worth to draw a holding call, then I think we're gonna see a LOT of receivers getting coached up to grab onto DB's for all they're worth!), Pats probably win
In all seriousness
- If Ridley doesn't put the ball on the ground in, what was it, the first quarter, the Pats probably go on to score and ultimately win. Two hands in traffic, man, two hands in traffic!
- If someone, for the love of Teebus, could've just sacked Newton on that freakin' 3rd down play in the 4th quarter, the Pats probably win. Instead, Newton dodged 4 attempts and pulled off probably the most impressive play of the game. Hats off to the kid.
