This happened. Tried to find a vid w/Tirico & Collinsworth comments afterward but unsuccessful. But those 2 said both were to blame. The lunatic Bills fan hit Lamar in the head after Jackson just witnessed him hitting Hopkins in the head and we act like Lamar is supposed to turn the other cheek? Miss me w/ that noise.

Remember? No. They weren't showing hockey highlights in NC back in the 70's. Not that much in the early 80's either.

What did he do?

So....Tied game, early 2nd quarter, 2nd & 1. You're in a good spot. You can take a risk deep, but the playbook is open. No pressure. No need to force anything. If it ain't there, throw it away. You got another play to get a simple yd & keep the drive going. ANd when you rollout, you even have space to run for the 1st down. You don't force it into coverage & get it picked off.

So.......3rd quarter. Opening drive. Now you are down 20-3 thanks to your pick & a fumble. You need to answer quickly so you can make a game out of it. Leave yourself enough time to make a comeback. You make it inside the opponent's 10, but now have 4th & 1. Coach is going for it. You gotta have it. Do or die. There is no 2nd chance here. You don't just toss it out of the end zone because no one is clearly open.
