I will say though that I was more than impressed when Tom Jackson said last night he disagreed with the MJD decision even if it worked out. He agreed with me on it.

On the other hand, teams have been know to drive for a winning touchdown in less than a minute, let alone with a minute and a half. Even the ensuing kickoff could have been run back all the way ( a la Cal-Stanford and the Music City Miracle). That being said, the only part of your entry I disagree with is the headline. MJD was following orders from his coaches, so it really was not his decision.
