Dak scrambles ... Throws off balance into the end zone!!!!!

I don't know about you blokes but I went numb.

My reactions were :
1. This is not happening -- no win is this easy
2. There must be a penalty -- Why would Witten BE THAT OPEN???!
3. IT HAS TO BE A BUSTED PLAY AND I DIDN'T HEAR THE WHISTLE.
4. JUBILATION BY COWBOYS PLAYERS -- My goodness, we won!!!

Your reactions, ruffians?
 
I was waiting for a flag as well. When they showed Witten on the screen, no one else was on the screen. It was like he was alone in the stadium. The first guy to come into the frame was Terrence Williams. In the replay you can see two defenders fall into each other. Jason was on a radio interview on 1310 The Ticket today and said those guys may have gotten a little push from him.

I was right there with you, Sir Gimme. When the camera panned out to show Witten standing all alone as the pass was coming to him, I was thinking nobody is THAT open! Then, when I realized it was "lightning-quick Witten", I realized why he was so open. :)
 
Was such a special win for some reason. I was and am still in disbelief.
 
Witten wide open when the game is on the line?

I think I actually said out loud, "Of course."


Seriously, when does that slow old man NOT get open with the game on the line?

Usually not that open though.
 
I just yelled, "THAT'S GAME!" and jumped up and down, then started handing out high-fives like it was going out of style.
 
Witten was running his route, then stopped cold when he saw Dak change direction, and Jenkins ran into him and fell like a tree. Dak changed direction again, and the uncovered Witten just rolled with him.
 
Witten was covered really well as he dragged across the endzone. Then with Dak buying time he backtracked the other way and two Philly defenders ran into each, knocked each other down...and there's Witten all alone.
In one way flukey, but in another, kind of expected. He just keeps moving until he gets open on those busted plays. Learned that over the years, obviously.
 
Relief, excitement.. of course looking for a little yellow somewhere... I just thought it was gut test. We had come so far... usually the other team wilts at some point when you show that much heart. I actually saw it fitting that Witten was that open.
 
Witten's always gotten open like that. Actually, I don't remember many catches he's had to make in any kind of traffic for the most part. He's just crafty with his route running.

You'd think it would be harder for a guy who's 6'5 and 260 to be so sneaky.
