exactly right....wasn’t thinking and wanted to be “flashy” on the hit...what a dummy.

He didn't want the pass interferance / early hit. Just a split second decision that was incorrect and being incorrect happened in this case to be triple deadly after he took out the other guy. I made many of them playing soccer this morning. Course I'm not paid.

That said ... unlucky. It was a wrong decision made worse by making it at the wrong time and then taking out his own guy.

But the best teams HAVE these mistakes and still win. If you're in a position where that choice decides the game, you weren't good enough - you left it to chance.

That why, of course, the pats will crush the Vikings in a semi boring Super Bowl :-)
