Gregg Easterbrook is correct.
Best Replay Play: Watch the replay of Derrick Mason's 62-yard touchdown reception. As he catches the ball, he is hit simultaneously by two Detroit defenders, one in front and one in back. The two defenders bounce off him and tumble to the ground: Mason is left standing and runs to the house. If either one of the defenders had hit him alone, he would have fallen; because they both hit at once from opposite sides, he couldn't fall!
Also pay attention to how Mason walks things off after the touchdown. Clearly he was hurt by the hits, and yet he ran full speed. Amazing play,
