Hello, @Gonzo fan2007: My senior in GA reviews and articles! This will be my first sports related GA review, but I'm sure we can get the article passed. BigChrisKenney (talk) 06:48, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Initial assesment

Intro

Good!

Background

"San Francisco won 6 out of their last 8 games, although it was not enough to overcome the Atlanta Falcons, who won the NFC West."

If you take out the appositive, the sentence reads -San Francisco who won the NFC West. A rephrase such as; "San Franciso won 6 out of their last 8 games, but lost the NFC West to the Atlanta Falcons." Or something similar might be better.

End of the game

Good!

Box score

Good!

Analysis

Good!

Officiating

Good!

Owen's struggles

"Owens, on his performance up to this point, after the game described it thus: "I let the team down. I was horrible"."

This sentence seems to be a bit tricky. I would suggest "After the game, Owens commented on his performance before the historic catch saying: "I let the team down. I was horrible". Or something similar.

Legacy

Good!

Perhaps adding The Catch III to the List of nicknamed NFL games and plays would be worthwile, especially since it is sourced [39].

Overall: Second time doing this ever. I also think a hook about the challenge system being implemented would also be interesting. Let me know if I missed anything during a second opinion. Heart ^(talk) 03:07, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

HeartGlow30797, I am not sure I understand your review. Are you requesting a second opinion? It looks like you approved the hook but are asking for another opinion. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 13:56, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes sorry, I made it a bit more clear just now. Sorry for any delays. Heart ^(talk) 14:46, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks HeartGlow30797. You actually need to add a "tick", something like {{subst:DYKtick}} to approve the hook and move the process forward. The red arrow tick you used is to call for a second reviewer to take a look. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 14:54, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Further review makes me feel comfortable doing approving this unilaterally. Sorry for the delay. Heart ^(talk) 04:09, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
