The Super Bowl winning TD scored by Bradshaw last night has been portrayed over-whelmingly as the wrong move by the sports media today. However, I just don't think it's that clear. It's being compared to Brian Westbrook taking a knee at the 1 yard line against the Cowboys late in the game a few years ago. However, wasn't the Eagles winning by one point at the time? So, the only way the Eagles could've lost is if the Cowboys had gotten the ball back and scored a TD and a 2-point conversion. However, last night the Giants were losing by 2 points. If Bradshaw's takes the knee and the field goal attempt gets blocked or the holder fumbles the snap or even the very small chance Tynes misses the kick, can you imagine looking back and realizing you didn't take a walk-in TD that would've put you up 4 points with less than a minute left in the Super Bowl? I just don't think it was the no-brainer decision that people are making it out to be.
