Of course, if: Nd2, RxR, NxR+, BxN, QxR. And Black still wins the exchange.

You're right. I should have caught that. These are the types of mistakes I make when I'm just casually looking over puzzles on the internet that I don't make in slow tournament games. This is an easy enough tactic that I'm pretty sure would have caught that when it mattered. But I do need to keep pounding away at the puzzles so these things will jump out at me even when I'm not really paying attention.
