2009 Midseason NFL Highlights

Week 1: The Cowboys’ new stadium opens to controversy over its gigantic 72-by-160-foot Diamond Vision video screen, although owner Jerry Jones eventually agrees to take it off the field and suspend it from the ceiling

Week 2: The NFL announces sweeping reforms to scorekeeping and officiating after noticing all 32 teams are undefeated

Week 3: LaDainian Tomlinson gains a full yard on a carry, which is pretty good considering what happened on his 10 carries prior to that

Week 4: Though it was returned for 44 yards, Dolphins kicker Dan Carpenter still thinks it was the best opening kickoff of his career

Week 5: Browns quarterback Derek Anderson proves he may be the most valuable player in the league, beating the Bills with two completions for a total of 23 yards

Week 6: In the middle of the Raiders’ upset win over the Eagles, Tom Cable and Michael Vick catch each other’s eye on opposite sidelines and give each other a little nod

Week 7: The Texans’ Steve Slaton rushes for 67 yards and gets into the end zone, all without the ball

Week 8: Returning to Lambeau as a Viking, Brett Favre is surprised that the home crowd is booing the Packers so loudly every time he walks on the field
