San Francisco 21, Miami 10 |
||
See what's happened - there are still 7 minutes left in the half; in 7 minutes of game time the Niners have gone from punting away down 10-7 to a Miami team that had scored on both possessions - to leading 21-10 in a game that's almost gotten away from Miami - and done it without forcing a turnover. It's quick defensive stops, really bad Roby punts, and crisp, quick Niner scores.
