When Brown stripped that interception, wasn't that a fourth down play? Instead of intercepting it should have been batted down. And the ball would have been SDs. At the line of scrimmage. Collossal blunder.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

ya, the guy said after the game he thought he could see his way to the endzone to make a touchdown then Troy stripped the ball

heads up play by Brown for sure, not just luck like some say either, they practice stuff like that and it's imbedded into their brains.
The Pats are winners, and it sounds like the Chargers showed their true colors as losers.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Experience has nothing to do with it. It's just instinct. Once a ball is snapped, what down it is may not even register on a DB. It's the most challenging position in football to play. Interceptions happen almost automatically--instinct takes over. And to the extent that any thought goes into it, 99 out of 100 DBs would think that they don't keep stats on knocked down passes, but Ints get you to the Pro Bowl and the HOF.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.

Troy Brown has been making these plays for years....

Remember the blocked field goal against the Steelers and the runback and latteral... there are others that I cant think of right now.... big time players, make big time plays... I hope he retires a patriot.
