How about the play in the evening game? When Derrick Gibson picked off McNair and then Frank Wycheck stripped it a la Maurice Clarett in the NCAA title game last year. The game is still going on right now but Tennessee is in good shape. Oakland would have had it near the Tenn. 30 if Wycheck wouldn't have forced the fumble and the game probably would have turned out much different. Plus, it gave Tennessee the first down (why do the announcers love that rule so much? It seems like they're jumping all over each other to say they know that rule. We get it guys, you know the friggin' rule). I know the play wasn't as sexy as the big TDs, but probably did just as much for the outcome of the game. KRob's TD gets a close second though. The laws of physics gave him an early Christmas present this year, 'cause I don't think that spin move was on purpose, I think it was just the way he got hit.
