Since the Lions 34-30 win at Dallas was one of the most compelling NFL games on Sunday, perhaps it stands to reason it was high on the Twitter-ometer too.

Based on fans’ tweets, the Lions’ come-from-behind win had the most excitement of all other games played last Sunday.

The Detroit-Dallas game had 28 tweets a second on average for the whole game — more than nine times the total of the least-tweeted game.

This isn’t just a guess this is done through research by Rice University and Motorola Mobility using SportSense, a computer program engineers created to analyze NFL fan tweets in real time.

The least excitement was generated by the Tennessee Titans-Cleveland Browns and Miami Dolphins-San Diego Chargers games.

If you’re not on Twitter or don’t follow games on Twitter give it a shot. It adds a whole new dimension to game coverage.
