Jon Kitna Makes Miraculous Comeback as Detroit Lions Win Second Game
Blogging the National Football League, Blogging the NFL
Detroit Lions QB Jon Kitna said it was a miracle that he returned to yesterday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings — a game he played a pivotal role in helping his team win 20-17 in overtime. After being knocked out of the game in the second quarter with symptoms common with a concussion, Jon returned inexplicably with no ill effects. I was listening to the game on Sirius Satellite Radio (I was on the road) and the Vikings radio broadcast team thought it was most unusual that he was back in the game after suffering a concussion. Former Vikings QB J.T. O’Sullivan was filling in while Jon was out. After the game Jon said:
“I’ve never felt anything like that, and for it to clear up and go right back to as normal as I can be, is nothing short of a miracle. I just definitely feel the hand of God. That’s all it was. You can’t explain it. I have no headaches, no symptoms, no lingering effects. But that was the worst my head has ever felt, and the worse my memory was in the second quarter. Yet, after halftime there was nothing.”
The game itself was a debacle on fundamentals. The Vikings and Lions each committed five turnovers in a slopfest that, nevertheless, produced an exciting finish. But with all the preseason hype a thing of the past, Detroit finds themselves appropriately at 2-0 atop the NFC North (with Green Bay). After years of futility, some would say, that in itself, is a miracle.
