Yesterday's Sunday Night Football broadcast was a notable one for a number of reasons. It was the final game of the NFL's regular season. It featured division rivals, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens, in a winner-takes-all contest to determine the season's final playoff contender. It saw two of the league's greatest quarterbacks leading their respective teams to the edge of victory on a pair of thrilling drives in the game's final minutes. It also inexplicably included a segment featuring music from the 1998 Nintendo 64 classic, Banjo-Kazooie.
I caught the second half of the game this morning (the NFL's primetime schedule does not respect my early bedtime) and I thought I was still dreaming when, midway through the third quarter, a graphic popped up comparing the starting stance of Steelers defensive tackle Cam Heyward to a frog. "That's right," color commentator Chris Collinsworth exclaimed, "he's got a frog stance!"
