POLL: What would you consider the most heartbreaking loss of Week 4?

SEA vs. DET: Trailing 13–10, Detroit went on a 10-play, 90-yard drive in the fourth quarter. Matt Stafford found Johnson on a short pass with 1:51 remaining and Johnson dove for end zone, only to have the ball punched out from behind by Kam Chancellor just a few inches short of the goal line.

To make things worse, the decision by Seattle linebacker K.J. Wright to bat the ball out of the end zone should have given possession back to the Lions. But amazingly, the non-replacement officials missed the call. The Johnson’s fumble, along with the oversight by the officials, cost the Lions what would have been the go-ahead score. The Lions are now currently 0-4, and are the only winless team left in the League.

SD vs. CLE: Browns QB Josh McCown matched Philip Rivers almost point for point and yard for yard, and the Browns had completed a comeback and looked ready to take the San Diego Chargers into overtime. After a touchdown and two-point conversion to tie the game at 27 late in the fourth quarter, the Browns’ defense managed to hold the Chargers’ offense to a field goal attempt.

San Diego rookie kicker Josh Lambo missed the potential game-winning 39-yard field goal. But of course, with the Browns, it’s never that simple. The Cleveland defense committed a disastrous offsides penalty on the kick, that gave San Diego a second chance. With :00 on the clock, Lambo lined up for the retry and nailed the 34-yarder to put the Chargers up 30-27 and ship the demoralized Browns 3,000 miles back home with a 1-3 record.

IND vs. JAX: The Colts were without their starting quarterback for the first time in his four seasons and the Jaguars could’ve had a chance to seize first place in the AFC South. The Jaguars forced Indy to go punt, field goal, punt, punt and punt in the second half-overtime, but blew leads of 10-3 and 13-10. The Jaguars rushed the passer better, they stopped the run better, and they tackled better, but committed key penalties in all three phases of the game, finishing with 13 for 92 yards.

Jaguars kicker Jason Myers also missed what could have been two game-winning field goals. Myers missed a 53-yarder badly, but Chuck Pagano called timeout just before the snap, giving him one last chance. But he was wide right with one second left in the game. The Jaguars then got the ball first to start overtime, but Myers would miss again from 48 yards on the Jaguars’ second overtime possession. The Colts would later connect a 27-yard field goal to win the game with 4:36 left in overtime.

With first downs at the Indianapolis 32, 44, 40 and 40 on the last four possessions, the Jaguars couldn’t score. And despite having a 298-yard passer, a 100-yard receiver, and a 100-yard rusher on an offense with 0 turnovers, the Jaguars still dropped to a 0-5 record against Indianapolis in the Gus Bradley era.

This is a Patriots board, so Indianapolis winning. Anything good happening for Indy is heartbreaking for us.

Saints vs. Cowboys: I thought that the way that the Cowboys lost was delightful. NBC's camera's would pan to Jerry Jones and Tony Romo when the Cowboys would do something right. Showing Romo and Witten's face when Spiller ended that game was priceless!

Detroit. Their fans have to be on suicide watch. They're legitimately the only team in that list that got completely screwed out of a win.

Jags losing was ****in ridiculous. I was literally screaming in frustration when Myers missed the goddamn OT kick.

Steelers loss to Ravens. Jags loss 2nd then Browns then Detroit

It was funny watching the Marist dude miss so many game winners for JAX but the Lions were robbed, plain and simple. Not that they didn't do their best to allow it to happen.

The Lions did lose any chance at salvaging their season in Seattle on a crap non-call by the refs, so gotta go with them.

#2 is probably the Jags. They were awfully close to taking the driver's seat in the division.

the jags without question.
i doubt they win another game this year. 1-15 fire everyone at the end of the year

heartbreaking isn't the right word

as one caller on sports radio said 'there's not enough alcohol in the world to make this weekends football enjoyable'

Easily the Colts game.. that pathetic franchise gets gift wrapped a free win that puts them first in their division at 2-2.

Should have lost to the Jags and be at 1-3 at the bottom of that pathetic division, but now they've been given new breath.

They were screwed out of the game and out of the season. 0-4 teams are toast.

None of the above.

In all honesty The Lions, Browns & Jags are loser teams. Just how it is. You know they would find a way to blow it to half decent teams.

The most heartbreaking loss IMO was Arizona. They were being talked about as one of the top teams in the NFL and began to have serious super bowl hopes depending on how healthy Palmer stayed. They were in that game practically the whole time and I was watching thinking any minute they would jump ahead on 1 big play and claim the win. But it just stayed slightly out of reach the whole time until it was finally over.

Arizona now seriously has to question where they stand. The Rams are a tough loss but they are also their first real test and they failed to capitalize on chance after chance to beat them.

Also a PI non-call for an int. Fumble after a big catch, fumble on the opening kick, big dropped passes, ect... Just kept tripping over themselves as well.

Arizona game was by far the most entertaing game. Tough divisional game that couldve went either way. The cardinals are still legit imo. Their offense is potent.

Please don't make me revisit this week... This whole week was heartbreaking for me football wise. Every team I went for lost in a pathetic way, and the Pats were on bye. God damn it.
