It turned out to be a week of unfortunate season ending injuries, and one unprecedented comeback during #MNF.
Perhaps it’s because they are America’s team, or maybe it was due to their almost-heroic comeback, but the @dallascowboys v. @ravens game took the cake for the most buzzed-about game in Week 6.

Last year’s NFC championship matchup was a blowout, but that didn’t stop the @giants and @49ers chatter from ranking 2nd this week.

Overcoming a 10-point deficit in four minutes, topped off with an OT field goal, catapulted the @detroitlionsNFL win over the @eagles into third place in Twitter chatter.

Players made headlines off the field too. Ray Sherman (@RSherman_25) notoriously approached Tom Brady after the @seahawks defeated the @patriots 24-23, and then expressed himself on Twitter.
Patriots fans mad lol… Talking bout Super Bowl rings…. What have u done lately? Oh ur 3-3 lol
— Richard Sherman ( @RSherman_25) October 15, 2012
The @ravens suffered two season-ending losses, as both @raylewis52com and @lwebb21 are done for the year.
Very bad news for Ravens’ defense: The team fears torn triceps for LB Ray Lewis and torn ACL for CB Lardarius Webb, according to sources.

Another season-ending injury occurred while the @nyjets were rolling to a win over @nflcolts. They unfortunately lost @revis24 to a ligament tear. Revis tweeted thanks and gave an update to his fans.
Thanks for all the support! It’s just part of the game, I’m already on my way to recover! #Jets
— Darrelle Revis ( @Revis24) September 24, 2012
Last but definitely not least, last night’s #MNF performance by Peyton Manning sparked a @Denver_broncos comeback with 3 TD passes in the second half. Eric Decker was surely stoked:
Wow….That’s all I have to say! Haha! Broncos across the country deserve that one!
