From Bill Simmon's blog...

Now I'm furious. That was Troy's fault. Everyone knows that football games have an "All right, this guy's playing like a wuss" trigger that activates something bad to happen. It's a distant cousin of the "No F------ Way Game," the game when you've won too many games in a row during a season, and the Play Station activates that "There's no f------ way you're winning this game" chip.

Heh...that used to happen to me all the time in NBA Live. 'cept we called it 'computer comeback mode'.
