And no the late TD was NOT his man, he had the outside receiver and was the closest only because he left his man when the ball went up.
Excellent day by McCourty, perhaps Curran will sit down and interview him this afternoon too.

McCourty got more blame than he deserved last week, and will probably get more praise than he deserves this week, so it evens out in a weird way. On his first INT, he was beaten, but the ball was underthrown and he made a good play on it. It's tempting to write it off as Fitzpatrick making a mistake, but McCourty still deserves a lot of credit for capitalizing on it and making them pay. Second INT was a fantastic play on the ball, though. Great body control, very athletic play to get himself in position to make the grab.
