2 things we should never take for granted.
On 2nd to last play b4 4th Q 2 minute warning, with the lead, brees snapped with 12 secs on clock, guaranteeing that they'd have to run another before the warning. They ran the 3rd and 2 with 205 left.
I think Brady lets the clock run, and the 3rd and 2 is after the warning. Assuming NO still gets the 1st down (a big assumption, I know) , Houston would have to let the full play clock run on one of the downs before the 27-21 FG.
NO undrafted FA fair catch at the 2. And then runs after the fair catch signal on the rekick. Gunner looked like a veteran.
Brees made the plays, but his arm looked like shit. Accurate as hell, but no zip.
