From the Lions-Browns game, an extravaganza of a game that only 3.8% of the football population watched, and only 0.2% of the population thought was going to be a good game. It turned out to be a theatre of a match, going down to the wire, and a remarkable comeback upset from a rookie, ending 38-37, in favor. Only a small snippet:

Cleveland faked a field goal with 10 seconds left in the second quarter, converted the first down on a pass from kicker Phil Dawson, and then actually kicked the field goal on the very next play. The only possible explanation was that Eric Mangini hoped to completely catch Detroit off guard for a touchdown, because otherwise it was insane.
