I thought the Oliveira TD run was the play of the week, and possibly the year. We see spectacular catches and kick returns for TD all the time, and both trick plays and defensive excellence are frequently displayed in plays of the week too. What we rarely see is the kind of magic that Brady made happen on Friday night. Somehow, he kept the legs pumping, kept his balance and evaded a whole bunch of opponents who would've had him down had he been any other RB in the league. But he's not any other RB, he's a freakin' legend, and I'd put that run up against any of Andrew Harris's insane plays of his career. When people are voting for MOP, they need to remember this play, because it shows just how outstanding Brady is, and why he deserves this award. Obviously, all Brady himself cares about is getting another ring for his collection in November under the bright lights of BC Place...but that's neither here nor there.
