A beautiful breakthrough is when against all odds, something that shouldn't have happened, something that shouldn't have happened, happens.
When there is the first playoff game and the team has got just a few points to go in order to cross the threshold and take the lead, but they're looking at that field, and there is about 99 yards between them and their goal, and it just looks impossible.
A beautiful breakthrough is when The quarterback calls hike, throws that ball, completes that pass, the pass is caught, and that player runs it down, and against all odds, scores in the last quarter, in the last minute, the last second, no time on the clock, and spikes that ball, and what was impossible just happened before our eyes.
And I don't like the dirty birds, okay? I'm a 49ers fan, and we have a little bit of a rivalry.
It's where Marshawn Lynch set a record for, I think, most tackles broken on a single play.
And Lynch took the handoff, got hit, bounced off defenders, stiffed arm Tracy Porter, broke nine tackles, and went 67 yards for a touchdown.
It was against all statistical odds play, and why talk about it? Because I think we can show you it right now.
Oh, look at this run! What a run! Marshawn
Lynch! Still on his feet.
Has blockers now.
He's dancing his way for the touchdown.
Now,
you don't have to clap for that because it is the Seahawks, okay? But I do feel like that picture is like a metaphor for life, okay? Like there is this beautiful breakthrough moment against all odds.
