Here’s a fun fact: This game had seven lead changes. Seven! That’s more lead changes than a reality TV show breakup episode.
You couldn’t even blink. If you went to grab a beer, you missed a touchdown. If you sneezed, you missed a fumble. It was a game designed for people with zero attention span.
And the punting? Hilarious. Both teams punting was about as effective as trying to water a plant with a fork. The worst field position battle in NFL history.
