12/20/09: Cleveland Ground
Somehow, a December game between teams with a combined five wins became one of the most exciting games of the NFL weekend. A 41-34 win for the Cleveland Browns over the Kansas City Chiefs featured over 900 yards of offense, 286 of which came from Browns running back Jerome Harrison.
Harrison's tally was good for the third-best single-game rushing tally in NFL history. To put that in perspective, Harrison tallied only 301 total over the first 13 games of the 2008 season. That was enough for Cleveland to bring him back on a new contract and grant him the top rushing duties for the following season.

Alas, Harrison was traded to Philadelphia in October of the following year. He was nearly sent back to the Eagles after signing with Detroit over the offseason, but he failed his physical after Philadelphia doctors discovered a brain tumor. Some expected Harrison to be a quadraplegic after the ordeal, but he has since regained most of his motor skills through a rigorous recovery process.
