I don't know what I did to piss off the football gods this weekend, but I must have done something. Assuming Denver beats Oakland tonight, I'll finish the week an awful 6-10. Oddly enough, those numbers should be reversed at 10-6, but due to a number of strange events, that just wasn't to be.
Green Bay led Cincinnati by a couple of scores heading to the 4th quarter, but after Cincy trimmed that to one and the Packers were driving late in the quarter, rookie tailback Jonathan Franklin fumbled the football on a 4th-and-inches, the Bengals scooped it up and ran it in for the game-winning score.
San Diego led Tennessee throughout most of the game, but Jake Locker connected with a receiver on a deep last-second pass, where the receiver got away with offensive pass interference, to give the Titans the victory.
Minnesota led Cleveland late in the 4th quarter (much like they did in their game against Chicago the week before), but unknown backup quarterback Brian Hoyer put the Browns ahead in the final moments to give them their first win of the young season.
Lastly, Atlanta led Miami throughout most of their contest, but due to a 2nd half turnover and another last-minute drive, this one directed by the Dolphins Ryan Tannehill, the Falcons found a way to lose as well.
This doesn't even include the following games:
- The New York Jets found a way to beat Buffalo, even after they turned the ball over twice and committed 20 penalties for 168 yards.
- The New York Giants forgot how to play football, in suffering their worst shutout loss under head coach Tom Coughlin - falling to the then winless Carolina Panthers 38-0.
- For the first time this year, Baltimore realized they're the defending Super Bowl champions and Houston, for the third week in a row, decided to try and play catch-up.
- The Philadelphia Eagles, having turned the ball over just twice in their first two games, decided to cough it up 5 times in their 10-point loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
- The New England Patriots decided that even if their offense is the slowest in the league, they can still be very efficient.
- The San Francisco 49ers have forgotten how to play both offense and defense, as they got pummeled for the second straight week - this time at the hands of the visiting Indianapolis Colts.
Yeah, I definitely think I pissed off the football gods. With my luck, Oakland will defeat Denver tonight.
