Overcoming adversity is a huge piece of the puzzle when constructing a winning NFL team.

I've read your post 5 times now and genuinely don't understand what your point is. Are you saying the Miami game wouldn't have been different if Etienne scores a TD rather than fumble at the 1?

When I talk of motivation, I'm talking about the swings in momentum of a game that gives one team that belief, or motivation to go on and win it.
