This team just beats on people. On both sides of the ball. I'm certain that if the game were stretched to 5 or 6 quarters you'd see NFL teams just walk off the field. At some point they'd just submit. Yet it never gets boring, like a bad UFC ground and pound against the cage wall because the Wilson and Harvin ballet element is always present.
There are times when this team in the fourth quarter reminds me of the scene in Cinderella Man where Braddock doesn't sit on his stool between rounds and just glares across the ring at Corn Griffin. Griffin becomes completely deflated by it. "Whats he doing? How come he's not sitting down?" You could see the fight leave him in that very moment on screen. I imagine opposing players in the fourth quarter having that same sense of dread when they take the field.
