As opposed to this when not getting his number called at the goal line: Seems pretty much the same to me.
Fair point. If things weren't rolling as well as they were at the time, that could have become a major issue. To me, it's been moments like that where Pete has truly earned his money, in addition to the Percy Harvin debacle. The way he's been able to smooth things over and keep the team on point has been masterful.
Marshawn was no saint, but I appreciate what he did here. We took a risk in trading for him, and it couldn't have worked out any better.
I'd say the difference between Marshawn and Shaun was that Marshawn loved the game, while Shaun loved what the game provided for him. Marshawn answered the bell every single time, despite having a chronically bad back for the last three years. Shaun, on the other hand, ran not to get hurt after he got his big contract extension.
