Miami — This is a quarterback:
The clock ticks down toward a row of zeroes.
Click . . . Precious moments remain.
The guy huddles his 10 teammates and barks out some words in an indecipherable code. The athletes line up, receivers spaced precisely, muscles tightening, ready to spring forward.
Snap . . .
The quarterback grabs the football, retreats, aims. The receivers dart ahead, turn in angles, speeding in a danger zone.
Whoosh . . .
The quarterback unleashes the football just as four rushing linemen and a blitzing linebacker take aim for his body.
