Three games down, and who knows how many more to come? More CPU vs. CPU action in "Madden NFL '95" on the Genesis led to three high-scoring battles--two involving the Detroit Lions, and another two that gave the Minnesota Vikings the spotlight. The first of the trio pitted the Detroit Lions, winners of an earlier game against the Atlanta Falcons, against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (who were actually in the same division at the time, and would remain there until the 2002 realignment). The two teams came together for over 100 points, with Detroit winning by a final score of 56-47. The Lions' best players all put up respectable performances, with quarterback Scott Mitchell going 17/47 for 358 yards in the air, three touchdowns, and two interceptions. Pat Swilling had a day to remember, with eight tackles, three bone-crushing sacks, and a crucial interception that sealed Tampa's fate with minutes to go in the fourth quarter. The 'immortal' Jason Hanson was perhaps the biggest reason why the Lions won the game, going a perfect 9/9 on field goal attempts, three for three on PATs, and accounting by himself for thirty of the fifty-six points the Lions scored, or roughly 53%. Anthony Carter, a twelfth-round pick from the 1983 NFL draft whose best seasons were behind him by the time the 1994 season started, was able to bring back some of the magic that made him such a good player in his younger years, turning back the clock with seven catches for 152 yards and one touchdown. The unforgettable Barry Sanders played his part too, rushing for 134 yards, but failed to score a touchdown and fumbled the ball twice. Nevertheless, the Lions were victorious yet again, and proceeded to face the Minnesota Vikings--a division rival and another team that played in the comfort of a dome--only to get truly hammered, and I don't mean drunk. They lost 62-45 in a game where they never led at any point; with the exception of when it was 0-0 at the beginning, they were never on even footing with the Vikings score-wise, either. Cris Carter, without a doubt the best receiver Minnesota had throughout the 90s, at least until a young man by the name of Randy Moss came along, demonstrated his usual excellence, with eleven catches for 398 yards and five touchdowns. Ed McDaniel was good for twelve tackles and a critical interception of Scott Mitchell at a point when the Lions were behind by just one touchdown, destroying their momentum and sparking a scoring streak for Minnesota that ultimately put the game far out of reach for Detroit. Warren Moon proved why he deserved to have #1 as his jersey number, throwing for a whopping 615 yards and seven touchdowns; however, he also threw five interceptions, and went 18/44. Fuad Reveiz (how's that for a name?) was perfect, going 2/2 on field goal attempts and 8/8 for PATs and accounting for 14 out of the Vikings' 62 points. On the other side, Detroit's best put up good numbers even in a losing effort, with Scott Mitchell going 22/57 with 429 passing yards, three touchdowns, and three interceptions. Robert Massey achieved a whopping thirteen tackles and intercepted Warren Moon twice. Jason Hanson was not quite as perfect as he had been just one game prior, going 4/6 on field goal tries, though he was three-for-three in PATs and scored one more point than Reveiz did (15 to Fuad's 14). Brett Perriman, while his numbers weren't quite in the Cris Carter stratosphere, did have five catches for 160 yards, but also had two drops. Barry Sanders was a much more useful contributor this time around, with 171 rushing yards, one fumble, and one touchdown that helped keep the Lions in the game before Minnesota went on their scoring frenzy. The Vikings, having beaten Detroit at the Pontiac Silverdome, went up against my beloved Miami Dolphins, situated in the comfort of the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome. What had looked like a clear win for Minnesota early on became a close fight to the finish, as Miami tried desperately to claw their way back into the game. Still, it was the Vikings who emerged victorious by a final score of 48-39. Warren Moon didn't reach 300 passing yards this time around, and while he did throw three touchdown passes, he was also picked off three times. Mark Ingram was electric and actually outplayed Cris Carter, with ten catches for an incredible 260 receiving yards, one touchdown, and no drops. Dan Marino also had a good outing, going 22/69 with 385 passing yards and one touchdown, but also threw two interceptions. J.B. Brown gave the Vikings hell on defense, recording sixteen tackles and picking off Warren Moon twice. The kicking was solid, with Pete Stoyanovich going a perfect 8/8 on field goal attempts and succeeding on the only PAT attempt Miami had all game, accounting for 25 of Miami's 39 points, or a truly mind-boggling 64%. Fuad Reveiz, on the other hand, was less of a factor for Minnesota, going two-for-three on field goal tries. However, he was a perfect 6/6 on PATs and accounted for exactly 25% of the Vikings' 48 points, scoring 12 on his own. Dewayne Washington--a rookie who joined the Vikings in 1994 and would play in the NFL for twelve seasons, retiring at the end of the 2005 season after closing out his career with the Kansas City Chiefs--put on a genuinely inspired performance, one that seemed a sign of hope for the future, recording fourteen tackles and accounting for one of Dan Marino's two intercepted passes. Cris Carter looked good, recording four catches for 165 yards and two touchdowns, but also had a drop (which ultimately did not factor negatively into their chances of victory). Last but not least, while neither Minnesota or Miami finished with a 100-yard rusher, Terry Allen of the Vikings came extremely close with 93 yards, but also fumbled the ball twice and did not record a single rushing (or passing) touchdown. Returning to the real world for a moment, it is currently 12:48pm, and there are about 12 minutes to go before I head out for a walk with a couple of housemates. This has been a unique day in every sense of the word, and in actuality a throwback to how things were apparently once done in this house. We spent a good hour plus coloring; what had initially been a simple exercise in not exceeding the boundaries--which, naturally, I failed miserably--became an abstract drawing, as once the colors had been applied to the preexisting artwork, I began creating shapes and letters, and even expanding upon a lion mask that had been colored in, turning it into a bizarre humanoid by adding a collared shirt and a pointy elf hat. Squares, circles, stars, rectangles, and the letters A through I would become elements of the development. The color choices were made with little rhyme or reason; with a bit more effort I could have created something semi-decent, but alas, my laziness led me to overlook a lot of potential patterns. On a positive note, it seems I managed to impress the young lady helping out today with a knowledge of music, as I sang lyrics from Michael Jackson, Sade, the Bee Gees, and KISS as though I had known of them my whole life. (In fact, I didn't really get into their music on a deeper level until around 2004, so it has been about two decades of on-again, off-again fascination.) Hot dogs, beans, Doritos teetering dangerously close to 'stale' territory, apple sauce, and iced tea still floating around in my stomach, I pray to God I will not puke any of it up when we go walking.
