I find it fun seeing how shitty Josh Johnson can be. Every play just adds to his legacy of shit.

The Christian McCaffery OB Experiment lasted one play. And he actually had to look at his wrist band. The play reminded me of the ones we drew up in the dirt and never ran. Seeing SF flounder in a morass of mischief and mayhem seemed as out of round as the football it was trying to hide from the Eagles' defense.

Tom Matte (and Ed Brown) once filled in at QB for the Colts in the last two games of the 1965 season and led the Colts to a win over the Rams and a near-win over the Packers (Matte took all the snaps) in the 1965 Western Conference NFL Championship game, which was tied on a contested FG by Don Chandler. The kick that tied the game 10-10 to force OT was wide right, but the referees didn't see it that way.

Another little-known fact about that game was that Zeke Bratkowski was the Packers' QB that day, and not Bart Starr, who only threw one pass.

Matte also wore a wrist band in both games, apparently the first of its kind. After the loss to the Packers, he tore it off in frustration. A journalist picked it up and it's now in the NFL HOF.
