Here is an in-depth breakdown of the nuttiest plays of Week 4.
Taking a fall while kicking the ball
Game:Lions 34, Cowboys 30
Things got a bit nutty when ... Hanson slipped on the Cowboys Stadium FieldTurf during the kick. As Hanson took a nose dive to the turf, the ball sailed surprisingly into the awaiting arms of defensive tackle Sean Lissemore, who rumbled 38 yards to Detroit's 46-yard line.
What were you thinking?
Game:49ers 24, Eagles 23
Things got a bit nutty when ...Ronnie Brown is stuffed by the interior of the 49ers' defensive line, turns around and (perhaps trying to evoke his days in the Wildcat formation in Miami) appears to attempt to throw the ball somewhere. Instead, the play is ruled a fumble and the 49ers recover, preventing the Eagles from scoring any points on the drive.
Follow the bouncing ball
Things got a bit nutty when ...Drew Brees' pass bounces off the hands of receiver Robert Meachem, then pinballs around in the air among two Jaguars defenders and then ultimately intercepted by safety Dawan Landry.
Is this volleyball?
Things got a bit nutty when ...Ben Roethlisberger's pass bounces off tight end Heath Miller, then Texans linebacker Brian Cushing volleys the ball up into the air, and then the pigskin conveniently lands into the lap of Miller for a 7-yard gain.
Got it by the toe
Game:Bengals 23, Bills 20
The situation: The Bengals face a second-and-10 from their own 41-yard line, with the score tied 3-3.
Things got a bit nutty when ...Andy Dalton's short pass to Andre Caldwell, who can't come up with the reception, falls to the ground and has his foot kick the ball into the arms of Bills defensive back Bryan Scott, who returns the interception 43 yards for a touchdown.
