A "Dave Roberts" play is when a team completes an EXTREMELY minimal task that plants the seed for a huge comeback.
My favourite is obviously "The steal" it's self. But off the top of my head, the other two:- Maple Leafs/Bruins Game 7: Tuuka Rask makes the save on a breakaway with 3 mins to go in a 4-2 game. Bruins comeback to win 5-4 in overtime.
- Tom Brady converts a 3rd-and-16 pass with 10 minutes to go in a 24-14 Super Bowl. Patriots win 28-24
- Seahawks fake the field goal and score a touchdown with 12 minutes (?) to go to make it 16-7. Come back to win 28-22 in overtime.
