The Game Manager, Conference championships: Gaffes, errors, and blunders
“Playing in a Super Bowl!? Who, me?!”We could’ve had two blowouts on Sunday. Midway through the second quarter of each game, that’s exactly what I thought we were going to get. Instead, both games turned on a dime. Maybe that shouldn’t have been surprising since both featured the team up two touchdowns leaving more points on the field. When that happens, I usually expect the trailing team to stage a comeback. But the way the Saints had the Superdome rocking (and whistling, and shaking), and the Patriots had taken the air out of the Arrowhead crowd, I held little hope.
