An NFL game that was interesting...

There have been a couple of posts here this fall lamenting boring NFL games.  Last night the beginning and then most of the second half of the Oakland vs. Dallas game was watched with interest.  Unlike the few prior games seen in part, most penalties called were a normal part of the game, not stupid mistakes. They did not disrupt the flow of the game unnecessarily.  The game was played in Oakland and the parts of the crowd seen at field level looked like true crazed Oakland fans, and not corporate types entertaining clients.  The game itself was played creatively, with unexpected plays, attempted trick plays, and some outstanding runs and pass receptions.  It went down to the final seconds for a close victory by Dallas, not the pick here but all seemed fair.

There may be some hope for enjoying the playoffs.
