- 11/30/03 - Atlanta vs Houston: The Falcons were struggling against the Texans and Michael Vick took over for Doug Johnson, who started eight times in Vick's absence. The move proved that Vick was not too injured to have started the game, and Texans linebacker Jay Foreman was miffed the Falcons didn't start their best quarterback.
"At the start we thought he was hurt, then we could see he was throwing on the sidelines and wasn't hurt," Foreman said. "They took the Texans like it was a warmup game, and we took it personal." (AP)
Houston won the game 17-13.
- 11/30/03 - Kansas City vs San Diego: The Chiefs were up 21-17 late in the 3rd quarter and had the ball first-and-goal and the Chargers 2-yard-line. The drive did not end successfully for KC and it started when Carlos Polk shed two blocks to trip up Holmes in the backfield for a loss of four. Dingle followed by smacking the ball out of Trent Green’s hand to cause a fumble that bounced back to the 20 yard line before Donald Willis fell on the ball to bring up third and goal from the 20. For the first time all year a chant of, “Defense! Defense!” went up. Jammer followed with his second interception of the game, this time in the end zone. The Chargers stopped the Chiefs on that occasion but KC went on to win 28-24. (Silver & Black Illustrated)
