Well, MCCown is out with a head knock and Manziel went in and promptly lit it up for a TD.

The Seahawks began overtime with an onside kick attempt. If it had succeeded and the Seahawks scored a field goal, would the Rams be entitled to an offensive possession?

And it was all downhill from there.

Each team must possess or have the opportunity to possess the ball unless the team that has the ball first scores a touchdown on its initial possession. ... Opportunity to possess: The opportunity to possess occurs only during kicking plays. A kickoff is an opportunity to possess for the receiving team. If the kicking team legally recovers the kick, the receiving team is considered to have had its opportunity. A punt or a field goal that crosses the line of scrimmage and is muffed by the receiving team is considered to be an opportunity to possess for the receivers. Normal touching rules by the kicking team apply.

Thanks, Etrigan.
I just heard on MNF that the NFL has an "official military appreciation sponsor." I wonder how much it had to pay to support the troops and whether any other companies that bid for this were like "screw it -- no appreciation from us!"
