Yes. After every touchdown in the 2nd half we went for 2 (and made them, once by pass and the other by running up the middle). The broadcast bunch couldn't figure out why and went back and reviewed Hartley's kick in the 1st half and, after the kick, he grabbed his leg like he hurt something. They showed him on the bench still in pads but never returned to the game.

I got a chuckle when they lined-up for 2, I think it was the last time, and when it was mentioned that they were going for 2 again, Al Michaels said, "Well...why not?" Chris Collinsworth follows with, "Or...why?"

You had to be there.

It was preseason so you had to figure they were just testing plays the first time but the second time was a head scratcher until they went back and showed the clip of the kick in the 1st half.
