I was a 2nd quarter away from missing the game. Suddenly, I am at my neighbor's house, and they were watching the game with their eyes glued to the television screen while sitting on the couch. By the end of the game, I saw one of the greatest comebacks I have ever seen in sports. During the first half, I will admit that I was slightly disappointed at my team. Constant fumbles from my favorite player Reggie Bush. Late throws from Drew Brees. There were a  few things going on in the first half that made me lost faith in today's game. But in true Saints spirit, we took it back. We scored a touchdown, bringing the score to 24, which caused a huge prediction. If the Saints would have scored two touchdowns and two kicks, the score would've been even. When the third quarter arrived, I was expecting a comeback, and the team gave us that. Darren Sharper returned an interception 42 yards for a TD to cut the lead to 24-17. I never got that out of my head. His determination brought the score up. Even though Miami made it through us numerous times and scored 17-34, the team disappoint me. Now let's go to the fourth quarter. The quarter where we kicked some butt. My boy, Reggie Bush, made one of the best football comebacks I've ever seen. With his speed, determination, and flexibility in strategy dancing, he scored on a 10-yard reverse to make the score 34-31. Also, the one scene I can't stop thinking about is Jeremy Shockey's swift movie. He was running for the goal while defending. The only way the team brought him down was by catching his leg. I got the scene replaying in my head like a video game. It's the most strategical defense I've seen from him. Drew Brees failed me in the beginning, but he came back, and I give him the biggest amounts of respect for that. I loved the way that he jumped to make that touchdown. No one was expecting that. After all those performances, we ended the game 46-34. When we had 40 points, we were determined to keep the score that way, and we did. Aside from the team's offense, we had the best defense I've ever seen. We kept the Dolphins on their side until it was our turn in offense. The one thing I was shocked at was the constant droppings the Dolphins kept making after we scored 40 points. Every round, one player either dropped the ball while running, or dropped the ball once they missed a catch. For me, it was the act of pressure to score a touchdown was the Dolphins. In the end, I believe that this was one of the best turn arounds in the world. I never lost faith in the Saints. Many people around me thought they would lose during the first half. But like I said "It ain't over until 4th quarter and the timer reaches 0." New Orleans Saints beat Miami Dolphins in Miami. The coach was pissed off (I saw the video on tv), and I hope their hometown isn't disappointed in their team.
