I scored on my first possession and converted for two more. Then I picked off my opponent's pass in the end zone, got it out, but got tackled in the end zone. Up 8 to 2 after each team had a possession, Madden awarded my opponent another possession. He scored a touchdown. He had the option to kick a field goal.
After two possessions to my one possession, my opponent won the House Rules match 9-8.
Stupid programmers.
