New England Patriots
Harrison ties a playoff record
01:46 AM EST on Sunday, January 13, 2008
It should have come sooner.
But when Rodney Harrison picked off a David Garrard pass with 3:46 remaining, the veteran safety tied former Rams and Cardinals defensive back Aeneas Williams for consecutive postseason games [four] with at least one interception.
Harrison missed out on an interception earlier in the fourth quarter, dropping one in the Patriots' end zone with about 10 minutes to go and New England ahead, 28-17. The Jaguars didn't take full advantage of Harrison's drop in the back of the middle of the end zone, but Josh Scobee drilled a field goal one play later, bringing Jacksonville to within a touchdown and a two-point conversion of the Pats at 28-20.
Harrison, though, wasn't interested in the fact he had tied a record.
"I'm just trying to do my job," he said. "I missed one and I was fortunate it [an interception] came back to me."
