Except that the nature of fan and media preference for offense over defense means that a lot of attention is going to focus on how it was a bad offensive play, and less focus goes to how well Browner and Butler did on the play.
Whatever they do, the #1 play is probably going to be an offensive play. Simply because fans, unless invested directly in 1 of the 2 teams, prefer touchdowns to defensive stops.
I mean, WE know that that might be the single biggest play in Patriots history, as it ignited Phase 2 of the Dynasty. but I don't think it's quite seen that way leaguewide.
