Hoody fumbles in the clutch

Needing a first down to seal the game, Belichick decided to go for it on fourth-and-2 from his own 28 with 2:08 to go. The Patriots called their second timeout of the drive, leaving them with none, to set up the play: A short pass from Brady to Kevin Faulk, something the 2007 NFL MVP had repeatedly used to burn Indy’s young, depleted pass defense all night. Not this time. Faulk made a juggling catch but safety Melvin Bullitt, who replaced Bob Sanders in the lineup, came straight up the field and drove the Patriots running back into the ground a half-yard short of the marker. "We tried to win the game on that play," Belichick explained. "I thought we could make the yard. We had a good play, we completed it. I don’t know how we couldn’t get a yard." Hoody! you showed your D you have no faith. That's not Hoody like.
