It was an amazing game all the way through. We only started watching in the second quarter, so we missed some of the wacky weird plays -- but one thing to note about the game is that I think that three linebackers scored touchdowns.
I mean, yeah.
For those who aren't familiar with American football, linebackers are blockers whose job it is to get in the way of the people who are actually trying to score, or, when their team is trying to score, are there to stop the people trying to stop THEIR scorers. They don't score points themselves. They just shouldn't be in a position to do so. If things get scrambled up enough that a linebacker is in a position to score, something really weird is happening.

It happened three times in this game.
