I saw it. Who cared what gut wrenching feeling you(original poster) got. The D caused the turnover and won the game. Oh and by the way if you have been paying attention the D has shown it can cause the turnover late in key moments several times this year off the top of my head another one that comes to mind is the fumble Spikes caused vs Zona that Ghost missed the kick to blow that one.
This made me think about how the Pats' D is performing with the game on the line this season. So far they're 3-2 with coming up with a play to give the Pats a chance to win/seal the game (4-2 if you want to include Denver):
FF vs Cards
fail vs Ravens
FF vs Broncos
fail vs Hawks
FF vs Jets (They also stuffed them after the kickoff fumble)
INT vs Bills
This is an improvement over last season where they were just 2-2 to finish the season and 3-3 if you include POs. This also puts them in the same realm as most defenses considered good/clutch. The only true outlier is the Texans who've come up big on defense two out of two times they had a chance.
