Sorry, the Rams had FIVE interceptions with Brocklin throwing one as well ... and it still went to the wire !

James caught the ball at the 10 and Glenn Davis rode him into the end zone. The only way that is called a safety is if Ben Dreith is officiating.TanksAndSpartans wrote:Van Brocklin's INT was a Hail Mary on the last play of the game.

If you slow it down, the defender first touched the ball at the 14 and I would say he had possession by the 12. Davis was trying to tackle him and instead of going down, he tried to escape and inadvertently ran into the end zone and got pushed out of bounds for what should have been a safety. Browns got the call on the field goal as well. Home field advantage maybe.Bryan wrote:James caught the ball at the 10 and Glenn Davis rode him into the end zone.

You are correct, it was Lahr. Davis wasn't really trying to tackle him; he was trying to wrestle the ball away from Lahr. Similar thing happened to Louis Breeden-Wesley Walker in 1985 Bengals-Jets game, and Ben Dreith called a safety and everyone lost their mind (Sam Wyche, fans, announcers, players, etc.). So I guess it could have been called a safety, I just don't think that would have been right.TanksAndSpartans wrote:If you slow it down, the defender first touched the ball at the 14 and I would say he had possession by the 12.

P.S. All accounts I've seen have Lahr making the interception. It was James?
