Most overlooked big plays of 2007...

[Nav22]

As the title indicates, name some plays from the '07 season that were HUGE for us, but generally overlooked in the grand scheme of things.

Here's a couple that quickly come to mind...

- Sam Hurd's deflection followed by Tony Curtis' recovery on the onside kick attempt @ Buffalo. Hurd's deflection inadvertently knocked the ball forward about 12 yards, so Curtis recovered at the Buffalo 47, leaving us much closer to FG range. You know what it led to.

- Pat McQuistan chasing down Adam Archuleta after the blocked FG @ Chicago. Game tied 3-3 late in the 1st half, Crayton had just dropped a certain TD on 3rd down. Folk's chip-shot 23 yard attempt is blocked, and it looks like Archuleta is taking it back for 6... a HUGE momentum swing that would've been very tough to overcome on the road. Instead, McQuistan hustles and chases down Archuleta from the LT spot on the FG team, pushing him out of bounds at the Dallas 46. The Bears' ensuing drive ended with a failed fake FG attempt.

Hurds TD in the first game of the season against the NYG.

Wittens TD against the Lions.

Watkins INT in the second NYG game.

Newmans INT in the 1st Skins game.

Jones hit on Favre and Wittens against the Packers.

I just listed close games where a play won us the game.

Wittens TD against the Lions.

and Kyle Kosier falling on that fumble before that...

Those were some good ones.

Another I just thought about was Newman's INT @ Buffalo (off the tip by Ware) that halted a redzone trip for them. It ended up leading to another Romo INT, but was still huge since it kept us within come-back range.
