Remember the "Holy Roller" rule? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Roller_%28American_football%29 Not the best calls made from offensive coordinator Bruce Arians to end the half and end the final scoring drive. There will be plenty of bitching about that this week on the forums and talk radio. Mewelde Moore made a huge catch and run on that final scoring drive.
