Pick 6: QBs, Saints D, Gonzalez are clutch
  UpdatedSep 23, 2011 7:00 PM ETTalk about clutch players in the NFL, and two names come tomind: Joe Montana, Adam Vinatieri.The four-time Super Bowl winning quarterback's most memorableplay is known simply as ''The Catch'' - an on-the-run, 6-yard TDtoss hauled in by a leaping Dwight Clark with 51 seconds left thatlifted the 49ers to a 28-27 win over the Cowboys in the 1982 NFCchampionship game.Vinatieri has twice kicked pressure-packed field goals to winSuper Bowls for the Patriots: one against the Rams with no timeleft in 2002; the other against the Panthers with 4 seconds left in2004. He also delivered in the ''Snow Bowl'' playoff game in 2002,kicking a game-tying 45-yarder in blizzard-like conditions, and a23-yarder in OT to win a divisional playoff game against theRaiders.As we head into Sunday's games and wait to see who will make thebiggest plays of the weekend, here's a Pick 6 of clutch effortsfrom last week.Before we start, a shout out to the Patriots 325-pound defensivetackle Vince Wilfork. He read a screen pass perfectly, picked itoff and rumbled 28 yards before being hauled down late in the firsthalf of New England's 35-21 win over the Chargers. More colorfulthan clutch, but well done, nonetheless.- Ryan Fitzpatrick to David Nelson: On fourth down, RyanFitzpatrick found a wide-open Nelson for a 6-yard TD pass with 14seconds left that ended a wild and woolly fourth quarter with aBills' 38-35 win over the Raiders. Now, Fitzpatrick and the Billswill need all kinds of clutch plays when they host the Patriots ina matchup of AFC East unbeatens.- Rex Grossman to Santana Moss: The Redskins - of all teams -began their fourth-quarter rally when Grossman hit Moss for an18-yard TD pass on fourth-and-3 with 5:17 left to cut theCardinals' lead to 21-19. After a failed 2-point conversion, theRedskins got the ball back, and Grossman moved them in position forGraham Gano's 34-yard field goal with 1:45 left for a 22-21 win.And surprise, surprise, Washington leads the NFC East heading intoMonday night's game against the Cowboys.- Tony Gonzalez: The first of his two TD catches may wind up ascatch of the year - really. On third-and-4 late the first halfagainst the Eagles, the Falcons fabulous tight end leaped andthrust an arm forward to snare what looked to be a sure overthrow.At the same time, he stuck his left foot into the ground and tappedhis right toes on the turf just before falling out of boundsbetween the goal posts. The end result was a 35-31 win for Atlanta.Tune in for the Falcons at Bucs on Sunday and see if he canout-clutch the comeback kid, Josh Freeman.- Tony Romo to Jesse Holley: Playing with a punctured lung andbusted up rib, Romo directed the Cowboys to a field goal thatforced overtime, then connected with Holley on a 77-yard completionon Dallas' first OT play to set up Dan Bailey's winning 19-yardfield goal in a 27-24 win over the 49ers. Will he back Monday to goclutch for clutch against Grossman?- New Orleans defense: Play after play, the Saints defensepounded Bears quarterback Jay Cutler to the tune of six sacks and aforced fumble. Led by two sacks each from Roman Harper and JuniorGallette, the Saints' not-so-fearful defense held Cutler to a 42percent completion rate (19 of 45). Next up for the invigorateddefense is Matt Schaub and his unbeaten Texans, who have a prettygood defense of their own to throw at Drew Brees.- Aaron Rodgers: With Panthers rookie Cam Newton delighting thehometown crowd, it took Super Bowl MVP Rodgers to settle thingsdown. He threw a 49-yard TD rocket to Greg Jennings early in thethird quarter for the Packers' first lead and followed up byfinding Jordy Nelson with a short pass that was turned into an84-yard TD with 2:14 left in the game that ended up 30-23 GreenBay. Now it's on to Cutler and the Bears, where the Pack's defensemight come alive.
