The Most Bizarre Game I've Ever Seen

This was the Hollywood movie with an extra twist ending, except it was so unprobable that you don't believe it. Then they add an extra twist on top of that, only to say it was all a dream.

The Bears didn't deserve to win this game. But then, the Cardinals went to great lenghts to show that they didn't deserve to win this game either.

Grossman had 6 turnovers, no touchdowns. 14 of 37 for 138 passing yards. -7 fantasy points.

The Bears played terrible, except for 3 big plays from their Defense/Special Teams -- all of which scored touchdowns. The Bears D were able to capitalize on the turnovers, while the Cardinals could not.

Last year's playoff meeting between the Colts and Steelers is probably the wildest, most exciting game I've ever seen. The Chiefs beating the Raiders last year, choosing to go for it instead of kicking the 3, is up there too, probably the best Chiefs game I've ever seen. But this is something totally different. It's up there just for sheer craziness.

No one gave the Cards a shot, and they come out and go up 20-0 at the half. And the Bears are the best team in the league, and they look like the worst.

With 5 minutes to go, the Cards are running the clock out up 13. And then they still should win the game with a reliable kicker. But...

Words can't capture how this would feel to be a Cards fan right now. To go from a 1-4 start and being a huge underdog, to reveling in the first MNF home game in 7 years and building a huge lead, and playing great defense to shut down the league's highest scoring offense. And then have everything fall apart. Ugh.
