Maybe he took the angle that he thought would give him the most yards but I really wanted him to cut back to the inside and see if he could drive through contact for a 1st down. Would have saved some agony that followed.
Other than that though Faulk was fantastic and right up there with Sanders as players who played a large role in tonight's win but won't get their due from the media.
There were a number of times Faulk turned a loss or no gainer into something positive.

I wasn't only bummed, I was fuming at that play. Not only did he not get the first, but he ran out of bounds when we were trying to kill the clock. Although he had a great game, that was just lack of awareness of the game situation. Had we not been saved by our own false start and a Raven's time out, we'd have lost the game. I'm a huge Faulk fan, but that was a really bad decision.
