NFL show captures Stafford in final seconds of dramatic win
It's dramatic, as promised. And painful to watch, as Matthew Stafford -- wired for sound by NFL Films in Sunday's thrilling 38-37 win over the Cleveland Browns -- absorbs a crushing hit from the Browns' C.J. Mosley on a Hail Mary pass as the clock ran out in the fourth quarter. The soundtrack from Sunday's frantic finish debuted on the NFL Network's "Sound FX" program on the NFL Network on Wednesday, and it's worth a look -- and listen. It'll be replayed Wednesday night at 9 p.m. - 11/25/2009
