I choose last years Pats game because he did 80 yards with 1:39 left in the game. I was at the Denver game, and that was amazing (as well as one of the first times eli flashed his prowess) but that drive happened over the course of 4 or 5 minutes, i think.
another milestone was the carolina game in 08 to clinch number 1 seed the year after XLII but again it was a time consuming drive. it wasn’t in the crush.
If the Bucs game was, say, week 10 it would mean a lot more. though 1-1 is important ( and the game was fantastic to watch in the stadium) it lacks that tension that comes with a late season game.
The Pats game last year was game 8, the first time an NFC team won in NE in over a decade, a nail-biter, carried tones of XLII with it, happened during a defensive stalemate of a game, it was cold, AND eli only had 1:39 to get it done. there are very few scenarios (non-playoff) in the history of the league that are more epic than that.
