If you have the unfailing ability to pull out the very last play of game, you should be able to pull out enough cumulative effort and execution in the preceding 140 to 160 plays to not require miraculous outcomes at the end.

It's a nice, feel-good story, but I think there is some faulty correlation analysis at play here.

I don't get why you were Crowton's biggest defender, but you are AWOL on Bronco.

Indy's right. There is some luck involved in our current close-game winning streak.

What in the hell are you talking about? Bronco's greatness is real, but it has nothing to do with a couple of plays at the end of a game.
