On the backbreaking 3rd and 10 strike to Greg Jennings down the middle of the field late in the 4th quarter, CB Ike Taylor didn't just come within a whisker of knocking that ball away.
No, he actually got a piece of it, the back half of the tightly rotating oblong missile as launched by insanely precise Aaron Rodgers.
Sadly if you are a Steeler fan, or happily for Packer fans, it was only enough to make the throw wobble slightly, and Jennings was unfazed in making the catch.
This footage is part of the Showtime "Inside the NFL" season finale, which aired on February 9th. I don't know if they are re-running this episode, but perhaps you can dial it up on "on-demand" if your cable service has it for Showtime product.
Fantastic stuff, as always by NFL Films. From one football fan, on behalf of millions: THANK YOU for giving us this incredible, immersive, granular look at the game we love so much.

Myself and most Steelers fans I know aren't wallowing in despair and crying ourselves to sleep at night.
ReplyDeleteWe realize we were outplayed and GB deserved to win that game. We're over it.
Now why is that pinhead in the previous post screaming about oil?
Hey brian,
ReplyDeleteTHE RETARDATION IS ALL GONE, HUH?
dork
football is a game of inches and big plays. If that play is the basic reason the Steelers lost.
ReplyDeleteThe Packers made 3 monstrous big plays - causing 3 turnovers and the Steelers didn't generate any. An inch one way and that play is knocked down and an inch on the Mendenhall fumble the Steelers still have the ball.
You should find a slow-mo video of Jennings first TD. Ryan Clark does the same thing as Taylor in this video - gets a small piece of it, but not enough to matter
ReplyDeleteRelax, Brian. It hasn't even been one year yet. The earth will heal. Meanwhile, we need to get back to doing what advanced, modern, countries do. Find energy. Use energy. Create jobs. Improve safety. And stop crying ourselves to sleep over a little spilled milk.
