Gonzalez finally wins one
The catch which Tony Gonzalez made at the Seattle 32 yard line, with only 19 seconds left in the game,
and trailing by one point, 28-27,
took my breath away. I shook in disbelief, watching.
If only their kicker could make the winning field goal from 49 yards now, allowing big Tony his first post season win
in 16 years.
The first field goal try was wide to the right,
but Seattle had called a time-out. It didn't count.
The second one did, and Tony tasted the
first sweet victory of post season.
If football is a cruel game, it had been even crueler to Gonzalez. No matter what he did, no matter how well he played, the end result always seemed to be the same.
He might be the greatest tight end in the history of the game. But he's never played in a Super Bowl, never even gotten to a conference championship game.
Until next Sunday, when his Falcons meet the 49ers in Atlanta.
