[kalinecountry]

November 26, 1998, the Lions defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thanksgiving Day in a game that ends in controversy.
As the two teams enter overtime, Pittsburgh?s Jerome Bettis calls the coin toss in the air, but confusion surrounds his decision.
The officials mishear Bettis and award the possession to Detroit, who go on to win 19-16 on their first drive in overtime.
