It is a great score but I was trying to aim higher. Willie Parker immediately came to mind and suddenly I understood how he felt after his second Super Bowl.
In Super Bowl XL, he ran for nintey-three yards, seventy-five of them coming on the longest run in Super Bowl history. Three years later in Super Bowl XLIII, his statistical contribution was 20 carries for 53 yards. What did not show up on the stat sheet was the fact that he carried the ball for the hard yards, the third and two an third and three that kept drives going. He did not score against Arizona but his team still won the game, which is all that mattered. Still, you would like to score a touchdown.
It did not happen but Fast Willie Parker got a second Super Bowl ring. Not bad for an undrafted free agent!
Today I did not push my 80% verbal score higher but it was still a great score.
Like Willie, I recognize it as a win even if I did not get to the endzone.
A win is a win is a win.
