The conclusion to Brady-Manning is an instant classic that was all about the defenses. Of all things, a missed extra point led to the most crucial two-point conversion attempt in NFL history.
We had a great run of eight straight NFC Championship Games decided by no more than seven points, but what a dud we saw in Carolina on Sunday with the Cardinals losing 49-15 (another unique score bites the dust). Every time Arizona looked to have a fighting chance, a turnover happened, and it usually came from Carson Palmer, who may have achieved the unfortunate act of playing his worst game (a career-high six turnovers) in the biggest game of his career.
