He wasn’t that good before or after that one special SB run. He just got hot and played way over his head at the best possible time before his contract was up. He also was very lucky too to win two miracle games: first in the regular season against the Chargers (4th and I think 26, thanks to Ray Rice) and then in the playoffs at Denver (Jacoby Jones and Peyton Gump the Big Game Chump). I still find it hard to believe he owns a well-deserved ring, but I have to give him credit for those 2+ months of greatness.
