Could someone please explain to me why it was 2nd and 1 again (basically a do over) instead of 2nd and 11 after the Willson holding? Was it because it was a spot foul and marked from there?

The penalty is assessed at the spot of the foul.

Ok that is what I thought. It wasn't explained on the telecast and even FOX briefly put up "2nd and 11".

I thought it showed how mentally tough both Baldwin and Wilson are, didn't hang their heads, didn't show negative anything, went back and he threw it to the guy that got the penalty.

They've definitely shown a huge amount of resilience, almost always.

Rawls fumbles the ball? Next offensive opportunity give it right back to him

Season ending injury to Tight End #1? Next offensive opportunity give it to Tight End #2.

Even when the body language might say otherwise like in the NFC Championship game and shots of Kearse after each interception, going right back to him for a clutch OT touchdown

The fact that the coaches and especially Wilson has so much confidence in his team is amazing.

R. Lockette's story about the conversation he and Wilson had in Hawaii: Wilson would go right back to him because he knows Ricardo would get it the second time.

That's really what we've been missing.

All the comments about Wilson looking hesitant and tentative, that confidence was missing so far. It's definitely back now.

Good to see ya! Definite big play of the game is getting back up and going for it again.

After Wilsons TD run was called back on the Willson holding penalty, to come back and the very next play and find Baldwin in stride. That was the play of the game. That shows the dominance Wilson is capable of. Take away his 50 YD TD run? Fine, he will just crush you through the air.

Best play of the day for me.
After reading the title of the thread without seeing your post that was the exact play I was going to say.

There were tons of great plays yesterday. I think yesterday's game was the most complete game (domination wise) against a good opponent since XLVIII.

The only 2 negatives were the Rawls fumble early and the return for TD.
