I remember watching that, thinking the Rams had finally put the game game away, a game they had won until then.
All they needed was the icer. Bradshaw and his receivers were hot. The Rams D and O (with the exception of Wendell Tyler) were solid, dominating to that point. You could feel the air go out even though they tried to regroup, recover, they didn't. Bradshaw knew he just got a new lease on life and buckled down.
I never felt worse for a player than I did for Cromwell in that moment and in the aftermath of that play, that game. He's one of my all-time favorite football players, one of the very best all-round athletes ever to play football.
