Downloaded, thanks.

A safety!

Since it was a penalty that was responsible for the safety, that makes "1st player to score" a little tricky. I'm thinking it should be Victor Cruz who scored the next TD.

I don't know. That looks like a rare push in that category.

I've been in the lead all game, but this section:

Barry wrote: Longest TD - Over 50 yards
Leading Passer - Over 330 yards
Leading Rusher - Over 75 yards

is going to cost me the game.

Tough call, and the way that category goes will determine the outcome. Since the question is worded "Player to score first", and no player actually scored on the safety, it makes sense to me to say that Cruz was the first player to score.

The more I think about it, the more I think you are right. It's hard to say that Cruz scored first if there already were 2 points on the board when he scored. I counted it as a push. I hope Geoff and beardedterror will not destroy me for revenge.

Seems fair to me. Tuck was credited with the pressure in the play-by-play (it's not intentional grounding if there isn't pressure), so if anyone gets credit, maybe him? (nobody picked him, of course). Maybe Brady The push seems fair, like in soccer where ISTR an "own goal" isn't credited to anyone.

Watching the game I was wondering if I might accomplish the difficult feat of picking zero correctly. Fortunately, I struggled to 3 correct. Not good at all but not 0.

There were at least 3 of these horror drops I saw.

Horror drops? A number of those Brady threw poorly and the receivers did a lot of work to even get a hand on it to have it be considered a "drop" (the Welker one in particular).
