Offensive Play of the Week: The Greatest Route in History

[mascho]

The scramble drill: This is one of the exercises that football coaches often put their quarterbacks and receivers through, sometimes weekly, on the slight chance that such a situation might arise on game-day. While we do not know if the coaching staff put the Patriots’ offense through the drill this week, we do know that the team utilized the concept in a big way Thursday night: on Shane Vereen’s 49-yard touchdown reception and on our Offensive Play of the Week, Danny Amendola’s 19-yard catch.

Not only was it a great route adjustment, and a great body-adjustment with the ball in teh air, I thought it was a great job of holding onto the ball through what looked like an awkward landing.
As for the Rex gif, wasn't there another GIF worthy moment of Rex frustration (Rexstration?) immediately following the Amendola TD (and not the one that Soxfan linked to)?

Yeah SR, from beginning to end this is just a fantastic play from Amendola.
