Chicago D and O-Line. Obviously the D played great, but that O-line not only opened up a lot or running room for T. Jones, they kept Grossman upright throughout the day. No sacks given-up ,and other than the 1st 3 series, he really didn't have much pressure.
Gotta slap any game balls out of Reggie's hands. Although that was one amazing run after the catch, his Bush-league nonsense at the end just made an already mad defense that much more pissed. Pretty stupid stuff, I think it really killed the momentum that had swung to NO. After that, the D locked them down, and they couldn't sustain a drive - no points - all over.
Game Ball to Manning - hell of a gutsy comeback performance. Real happy for the guy, too bad I have to root against him the the Superbowl.
