KPRC-TV in Houston had a "Heidi" moment Thursday night, as chron.com's David Barron puts it.

Without the outcome-changing finish, of course. Though they didn't get to watch live as Bengals center Russell Bodine got laid out by the Texans' J.J. Watt at the end of Houston's 13-9 win in Cincinnati.

More from Barron:

The NBC affiliate was so eager to have its newscasters celebrate the Texans' win over the Bengals that it cut away from the NBC/NFL Network telecast with two seconds to play and the outcome still in doubt.
