Michael Crabtree Amazing Catch Against Texas

Michael Crabtree’s game winning catch against Texas

                Going into the 2008 season, everyone thought that Texas was going to win the national championship behind the leadership of defensive end Brian Orakbo and quarterback Colt McCoy. Going into the last week of the season, Texas remained unbeaten. They were ranked number one in the nation and all they had to do was win and they were in the national championship game. But they had to play the seventh ranked team in the country in Texas Tech in an old fashion rivalry game to end the season.

                The game went back and forth the entire game. One team scored and then the other would come right back and answer the score with a score of their own. It was a great game.

                There were eight seconds left on the clock in the fourth quarter. It was second down and ten yards to go from the Longhorns twenty eight yard line. Tech was driving with a chance to win the game. The score was 33-32 Texas was winning.

                Gram Harrell dropped back to pass and threw a deep fade rout as a prayer as the time winded down. He somehow got a ball to wide receiver Michael Crabtree. He caught it and fought off two Texas defenders and ran it in for the game winning touchdown catch.

                That picture was worth so much because just the situation when he caught that ball was insane. The stadium literally blew up because of him and that catch.

                David Tyree is a wide receiver for the New York Giants. During the 2007 season, Tyree didn’t play much on offense. He was an exceptional special team’s player. He made the Pro Bowl in 2005 for special teams.

                So Super Bowl Sunday came and the New York Giants were playing the New England Patriots.

                So there was one minute and twenty three seconds left in the game. It was a third down and five. The game was riding on this play. The Giants were losing fourteen to ten. The Patriots blitzed to try to get pressure on Eli Manning and try to get a sack.

                So the blitz comes and they have a lot of opportunities to sack Eli. He scrambles away from the pressure and throws a bomb down the field. And from out of nowhere comes wide receiver David Tyree and makes the greatest catch in Super Bowl History.

                Tyree jumps and is battling with the Patriots safety Rodney Harrison for the ball. Harrison almost strips the ball out from Tyree, but somehow David pined the ball on his helmet and held it there as he went down to the ground to secure the catch, as well as a first down. That catch led to the game winning touchdown pass to Plexico Burress.

                So as decorated in the picture, it was an amazing catch the way he was projected into the air and how Harrison is on him and somehow he held on to the ball.

Defense delivers as Ravens book playoff date in Pittsburgh

                Kansas City’s head coach Todd Haley tried to prepare his team by saying that the Baltimore Ravens defense would be the best they had seen all season long. He was right.

                The Ravens defense shut down the Chiefs offense and held them to only thirty yards in the second half. Also, they forced five turnovers in the thirty to seven victory in the AFC Wild Card Playoff game.

                The game started out as a close contest, but then the Ravens offense took over and put up thirteen unanswered point. The Chiefs were never able to recover. That keeps the Chiefs streak alive of seven straight playoff games lost.

                The Chiefs turnovers killed them today. It was fourth and inches and the Chiefs went for it and got stuffed. Then their next possession, Ray Lewis hit Dexter McCluster and made him fumble the ball. Those two turnovers led to two field goals for Baltimore. Then, the Chiefs came back and Matt Cassel threw an interception. Every time they got momentum or anything positive going, they turned over the ball and gave Baltimore the upper hand and the momentum to beat them with. It seems like Kansas City just folded and crumbled under the pressure and choked.

                Baltimore now gets to dance with Pittsburg in the AFC divisional round of the playoffs. This is going to be a great game with two great AFC North teams going to battle one more time this season.

Bengals turn it over, 13-7

                The Cincinnati Bengals played their hearts out earlier today. Their defense came to play by shutting down the Ravens offense as much as they could. Carlos Dunlap led the way with one and a half sacks.

                But when the Bengals called on their captain Carson Palmer to lead them to victory, he choked yet again. He had two potential game winning drives and he failed on both of them by turning it over on both drives. The first drive to win the game, he threw an interception. And on the second one, Carson fumbled while diving trying to get a first down.

                Then they got down to the 2 yard line with twenty seconds left. It was a fourth and one. Palmer takes the snap, rolls out to the right, and then throws it out of the back of the end zone over everyone’s head and kills any chance of coming back to win that game.

                The Bengals offense was stopped four times on downs that were third and one; story of the season.

                Well it is all going to change tomorrow. By dinner time tomorrow night, this whole franchise is going to change. Wide receiver Terrell Owens will be gone, head coach Marvin Lewis is probably one, and wide receiver Chad Johnson and Quarterback Carson Palmer might be gone. All the major players in this franchise have the potential to leave, leading to a completely new franchise. So we will see what ultimately happens tomorrow.
