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.
