“A slipshod final play, where a crisp one might have allowed for a tying field goal try, left [Matt] Leinart looking dazed and diminished, like a boxing champ who got KO’d in the last round. I couldn’t help but feel a twinge of sympathy. Then I remembered his sickeningly charmed life and snapped out of it.”
Robert Weintraub at Slate in a very good summary of the game titled “Don’t Mess With Texas.”
