Got my game in, and it was a damn struggle to say the least. Back and forth all the way, we came down the field late with a chance to win 44-41 with a FG.. But my controller has been failing to register input from the thumbstick on kicks recently... So I went to kick it, and of course, that happened.
So.. We went to OT. I wanted the ball first, got it, scored, and went for 2 to try and end it immediately, but we failed the 2 point conversion. Shit was tense. Tucker got the ball, got a first down on 3rd and long on their first series of downs, then we shut em down for 3 straight plays setting up a last chance play from about the 12 yard line.
We went with a dollar package, running a man coverage blitz to try and keep our guys close and their QB under pressure. Duncan dropped to throw, had time, got a great block from his RB to pick up a blitzer, and then fired the ball into the corner of the end zone, to a wide open guy who had broken free from coverage by running through traffic in the end zone.. My heart dropped.. And then the WR dropped the ball.
Biggest sigh of relief of the season.
We win 47-41 in a struggle I don't want to revisit any time soon.
