I can't fault a defender for not thinking of that on a play that started a million miles from the goal line.
BTW, I heard an interview with the BUF RB who made that play, he said they'd been working on that play all week, it was designed specifically to counter a certain blitz they noticed the Pats doing. Former Harvard Quarterback FitzWhatsHisName recognized that particular blitz coming, audibled to that play, and it worked like a charm.
Thought that was interesting. Who's coaching BUF nowadays? Between that story, and the gutsy 4th-and-14 call early on, I like him!
