I noticed it live but they didn't seem to mention it on FOX. 2-3 plays before the blocked FG they ran Murray wide left, PP came up to make the tackle and got up very slowly adjusting his shoe or something like he'd rolled an ankle.

Then 2-3 plays later Witten surprisingly catches him returning the blocked FG. I have to admit I was still surprised even though I think he probably did get a little ankle thing, so used to him just accelerating I had a hard time believing Witten caught him.

That said, he played a tremendous game, completely shut down Bryant when it counted

By far Petersons best game dominated Bryant today

Right before the kick I told my wife "we are going to block this and run it back for a TD.. calling it now." She was looking at me like a football god until Peterson got tackled.

The only coaching blunder of the game.

We could have called a time out with 24 seconds left. Even if the cowboys make the kick we could kneel on it. Had we called the timeout we would have a great chance to put more points up.

I know, who figures something like that would happen.

I forgive you BA...:D

My son said the exact same thing. Weird. :)

I told my wife it was time for another blocked FG since we have the most since 2006 (IIRC). I wasn't as brave as you to call for the TD but was thinking it.

It's easy to forgive BA since he has this team at 7-1 but I agree, he should have used at least one TO.

A 35 yarder is almost automatic for an Nfl kicker. Is that the shortest field goal the Cards have blocked the past few years?

Funny, I was telling the entire bar the stats on us blocking kicks because my Cowboys buddy was bragging about Dan Bailey. I said "watch, this is a block."

Thank the football gods for Justin Bethel and Calais Campbell.

Peterson has been dealing with an ankle injury for the past several weeks. Additionally last week, as we all know, he was knocked out and got a concussion. Bottom line, he really is one of the leaders of this team and makes no excuses for his play.

Take note of this.
