I love the level of detail. The body language on this play, the way Fisher signaled he was eligible earlier this year while shielded from the defense by the other guys in the huddle. Andy playing 5-D chess. [Reply]
The more I think about this, the more I realize just how gutsy it was. Virtually nobody else in the league is even going for it on 4th down in that spot, let alone trusting a backup QB who had just thrown a horrific interception to throw a ball any distance.
My eyes widen so big when they hiked the ball that I'm surprised they didn't fall out of my face and I might have cussed a little bit out of shock. When he made the pass and catch I believe the neighbors a few doors down heard me screaming. [Reply]

I'm still speechless.
This is why I love Romo. A lot of people saw the genius in this execution because of romos call. He was reading the lazy setup on the line too just like every browns player on the field. [Reply]

There was definitely an “oh shit” moment when the ball was snapped to mass hysteria when Tyreek caught the ball a second later. I think there was about 8-10 seconds left on the play clock when the ball was snapped which just made it that much more surprising. [Reply]

I figured they were taking the penalty so the clock would stop on the punt. That way they can’t time the snap.
