While we are all fixated on the Tale of Two Cities, aka the good first half contrasted with the awful second half in the Massacre in Miami, it's interesting (at least to me) that there were plenty of other momentum shifts in Week One.
-- Pittsburgh was coasting with a 27-3 halftime lead over Cleveland at home, and then the Browns came back to score 24 straight. The Steelers ended up escaping with a victory on a field goal as time expired. On a side note, Brian Hoyer went 19/31 for 230 yards, 1 TD and zero picks; LeGarrette Blount averaged only 1.5 yards per carry (6 yards on 4 carries), but did score a touchdown.
-- Jacksonville forced three turnovers and outscored Philadelphia 17-0 in the first half. The Eagles then outscored the Jaguars 34-0 in the second half, to win by the same amount they were losing by, 17 points.
-- The Saints scored a touchdown with twenty seconds left in the half to go up by 13, 20-7. At the end of the third quarter the Falcons led 24-20 after scoring 17 unanswered points. From that point on there were four lead changes.
-- Broncos score the first 24 points, then the Colts outscore Denver 24-7.
-- The Bills were up by ten at halftime and blew that lead, but managed to come back to win at Chicago.
-- Cincinnati was up by 15 at halftime, blew that lead, then overcame their deficit to win with a go-ahead touchdown with less than five minutes to play.
-- In the first 29½ minutes, the Rams were only down 6-0 to the Vikings. Over the next 28 minutes Minnesota outscored St. Louis 28-3.
-- Washington scored first, but a blocked point after was an omen of things to come; they were outscored by the Texans 17-0 the rest of the way.
-- Carolina takes a 17-0 lead, then Tampa Bay scores two touchdowns in a five-minute span.
-- Niners outscore Dallas by 25 in the first half, then the Cowboys score 14 straight.
-- After a 10-10 score late in the second quarter, the Seahawks outscore Green Bay 26-6 the rest of the way.
-- Chiefs score first, then Tennessee scores five straight times before KC scores again.
-- The Jets scored 17 unanswered points. I know it's Oakland, but come on....
