Wow, there was time when Philip could actually throw on the run--sort of. This shot is obviously from the 2007 win at Indianapolis. In many ways, it's the game that ended up leading us where we are right now. I noticed in the comments from my last post that Daniel Chang thought Norv was being faulted with "breaking Rivers."
