Yep, I can't believe he missed it either. Billy Cundiff missed a 32-yard field goal in the closing seconds of Sunday’s AFC Championship game to put the New England Patriots back into Super Bowl with a 23-20 victory. In a season rarity, the Patriots defense bailed out Tom Brady and the offense throughout the game and late in the fourth quarter. As Baltimore closed in on a go-ahead touchdown with seconds to go, Patriots cornerback Sterling Moore batted a pass away from Ravens receiver Lee Evans, who seemingly had the ball in the bread basket.
