When the play happened live, I didn't think he got in. I was thinking he was down at the 1. Then they called the touchdown and I went nuts......I've still not calmed down.

I have to share this funny story.
When Hightower scored my son and I erupted with c"heer . While we were high fiving and dancing my daughter in law screams, PENALTY FLAG!" We both froze and turn to look at the tv screen. Then she giggled.
If she wasn't pregnant, I might have kicked her. Instaed we burst into a laugh and continue to celebrate.

Not me. Not until Dockett intercepted the last ditch lateral with no time left. Even then, I was screaming for him to GET DOWN!

I was even worried on the last punt with 15 seconds left. The old Cards would have snapped the ball over Graham's head and the Eagles would have picked it up and scored.

Guess I have been a Cards fan too long...

I was wearing snowboard boots that were loosened during the Hightower TD and gave someone an aggressive double high five and fell over.

Same with me on Dockett.

I have that play from the endzone on video, plus the 2pt conversion (though you can't actually see the 2pter catch, just arms).

I'll youtube it tomorrow.

The biggest play was Hightowers 4 and 1 run. It was a great call by Whiz. Not that it surprises me though. Whiz comes from the Steelers mentality. The Steelers are notorious for going for it on 4th down and Whiz has taken alot of that mentality with him to the Cards.

Fantastic job by Hightower on 2 big plays.
