Could Of Been Some Great AP Sports Writing

...But it wasn't. This article by AP Sports Writer Tom Canavan appeared in The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, One of America's Great Newspapers.
First, I think that the description of a play that took place today as "one of the greatest plays in NFL history" is quite likely premature.

I also think that the "He could of surrounded him, allowing his teammates to converge" sentence could of, er, have, merited further scrutiny from some AP editor.
