3rd and 3

Wonder if anyone has noticed this, most of our game winning TDs have come down to a 3rd n 3. 1982: 3rd and 3/Montana to Clark 1998: 3rd and 3/Young to Owens 2012: 3rd and 3/Smith to Davis Coincidence, I think so.

Sorry if someone already mentioned it...but i just realized this.

All 3 of "The Catches" were on 3rd and 3.

Coincidence?

Wow pretty unreal.

What is interesting is Alex actually had the cleanest drive out of all three. Montana needed Elliot to make a few big runs. Young was nearly picked twice and almost slipped. Smith was just absolutely methodical on that last drive.

Obviously not taking anything away from Montana/Young but it's encouraging to see Smith lead a clean late 2 min drive.
