"That's a play that I know I should make and I'll make 99 times out of 100," Hamilton said. "That's hard, especially when we were struggling in the red-zone and we don't any momentum at all in that game. I told somebody earlier, 'No doubt in my mind I catch that and we win the game.' The momentum is different, the whole vibe of the game goes differently and that was the spark we needed."
