The Washington Redskins improbable season had come full-circle. After losing their starting safety Sean Taylor to a tragic shooting in his home, they had been on a tear to make the playoffs. Getting in and facing the Seahawks was no easy task, but despite trailing 13-0 early, they pushed and came back to take a 14-13 lead in the 4th quarter. It would be the perfect ending to a perfect run for the feel-good story of the year.

But then, inexplicably, the Seahawks scored a touchdown, then a field goal, then another touchdown. Before the Redskins knew it, it was a 35-14 bludgeoning. At some point during the meltdown, Joe Gibbs ran out from behind his camera to shout "What are you guys doing? This isn't in the script!" When asked about the game Gibbs was sullen, "I wrote this epic masterpiece about a death challenging a mediocre team to come together and gel into a champion. But the Seahawks obviously did not get the pages I sent them last week. They have completely messed everything up. We still had 30 pages of script to go! How are we going to win the Super Bowl now?! I also had a scene where the team battled a dragon and where all 42 men on the active roster fall in love with Taylor's widow. It was to be a heart-warming ending to our tale, that defied the logic of 42 men and one woman. The love scene alone could have won us a cinematography award. But none of that is going to be happening now!"

"It was my bad," said Seahawks head coach Mike Holmgren. "I didn't see the latest script sitting in a box at my front door Friday, so I told the boys to just go out there and play. In the latest version of the script I had, we find out that all the Redskins are actually dead and ghosts, and we are all trapped in some kind of matrix controlled by machine overlords. I kept waiting for that to happen, as it sounded very interesting, but it never did. I guess he changed the ending to this standard team overcomes adversity plot. Oops..."
