Actually, they lost the game before that point. They took WAY too much time going down the field, which is what made them have to go for the onside kick. If they had hurried up instead of wasting time getting the touchdown, then they could have kicked it away, played defense to get the ball back, then have time to drive back down to kick the field goal. I was screaming at the TV the whole time going "no huddle...morons!"
TO had a great game, pretty much silencing the critics. McNabb was not so great. During the last quarter he looked out of synch a lot of the time, and made some poor decisions.
However, hats off to the Patriots. Played a tough, sloppy game, and came away with the win. You could see the experience factor pretty much decide the game in their favor.
