Goofs:

Factual errors: In football when it is a turnover on downs, the opposing team gets the ball back at the exact location of where the ball ends at the last play. On the Cowboys last possession Spike gets a few inches from the endzone, but when Giants have the ball, they start from the 20-yard line.

Quotes:

Spike: Spike's in hell. Spike's in pee-wee HELL!
