The player of the game

The player of the game in my view was Brent Grimes. If he had been inactive today, Beckham would have killed us. Grimes is a phenomenal corner -- and at age 34, no less! He reminds me of Aqib Talib in terms of his natural ability, smooth athleticism and self-confidence. Plus he is calm under pressure, which is much better than Talib, who would get angry and then screw up or create penalties.

Brate had a great game too, as did McCoy and Jacquizz, but Grimes was the difference maker in my view.
