 FAN-O- METER:

 The biggest ovation of the night — and only standing ovation — was reserved for Edmonton defensive back Delroy Clarke, who lay motionless on the field for 10 minutes after a helmet-tohelmet hit. Clarke was being delicately prepared to be strapped to a board and taken off in an ambulance when he abruptly sat up, waved off any assistance and walked off the field by himself.
