4th and 1 on their own thirty. Down by seven. Defense has been battered all day. I think: go for it. Holmgren calls a timeout, and the Hawks give it a shot. Hasselbeck fakes a slant and runs around the left side for an easy first down.
Even if they lose, I'll tip my hat to Holmgren for the gutsy call.
Update: We got the TD, and then intercepted Brunell. We're almost in field goal range. Could the east coast curse be history?
Update Update: Brown misses his second field goal of the day. Overtime. Sigh.
Update cubed: After a lineman watches an interception bounce off his hands to the ground, Brunell hits Santana Moss on the next play. Sets up a game-winning field goal for Washington. The curse lives. (1-12 in our past 13 trips to the eastern time zone.)
