To Pass Or Run

One minute left on the clock
Four points down, championship at stake
Third down, five yards from the goal

Hefty defensive linemen gritting teeth
     eager
          anxious

Do you run the ball?
     or pass?

Quarterback fakes a hand-off
Linemen not fooled, scatter to block receivers
Quarterback sneak wins the game!



*For the "Pass" contest.  Probably only football fans will get this one.

I don't know much about American Football, but this sounds like a touch down pass to win. Good luck in the contest Diane, and thank you for your always kind comments >> James :)
