Whatever his faults, those 2nd and 3rd down plays saved the game.

The strip was unbelievable. A split-second later and an argument could have been made that Evans had possession.

Sterling Moore saved the season.

Savor that.

Per SMY, he didn't even know the play call on the Evans strip:

on 2nd down play to Evans, S Moore didn't hear defensive play, bc he ran to line up w/ Balt in hurry-up, just decided to play man-to-man

I couldn't believe it. Who woulda thought the Patriots' secondary would help send them to the Super Bowl.

Should the first play where Evans caught the ball and was stripped of it by Moore have been reviewed in the booth? I doubt they would have overturned it, I wasn't sure if he had full possession of the ball, then two feet, and then stripped of the ball.

I also thought it was close enough to deserve a second look. A little surprised it didn't get one. And I agree that it wouldn't have been overturned. The ball came loose the instant his 2nd foot came down.
