FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — When Amani Toomer caught Eli Manning’s short pass, dodged a tackle and sprinted down the Dallas sideline for a 52-yard touchdown last week, the Giants were not only on the path to Sunday’s National Football Conference championship game. They also represented, in one play, the convergence of schemes, rules and personnel that made this the highest-flying season in N.F.L. history.
This was the year of the pass, when 3 yards and a cloud of dust gave way to the three-step drop. In one game of their undefeated season, the Patriots, who until this season featured a balanced offense, ran only twice in the first half. Seven quarterbacks threw for more than 4,000 yards this season, more than ever before, and two of them — New England’s Tom Brady and Green Bay’s Brett Favre — take their teams into Sunday’s conference championship games as favorites.
Almost everyone is riveted by the results. Brady and the Patriots broke nearly every significant single-season passing record. Favre has had a turn-back-the-clock season. The other quarterbacks in Sunday’s games, Manning and the Chargers’ Philip Rivers, have had seasons that were turning points in their careers.

I'm amazed, I must say. Rarely do I encounter a blog that's
both equally educative and engaging, and without
a doubt, you've hit the nail on the head. The issue is something that not enough people are speaking intelligently about. I'm very happy that I came across
this in my search for something relating
to this.
