This 2011 game between the Saint and Lions have repeated play-by-play entries showing up at different points in the game. For example:

Drive: 6, qtr: 2, down: 2, time: 11:41, desc: (11:41) M.Stafford sacked at DET 13 for -7 yards (S.Shanle). next play desc: (11:06) (Shotgun) M.Stafford pass short left to K.Smith to DET 31 for 18 yards (J.Casillas).

then it repeats: Drive: 11, qtr: 2, down: 2, time 11:39, desc: (11:39) M.Stafford sacked at DET 13 for -7 yards (S.Shanle). next play desc: (11:07) (Shotgun) M.Stafford pass short left to K.Smith to DET 31 for 18 yards (J.Casillas).

This seems to go on for a few drives, where plays from the 2nd quarter are showing up in the 3rd quarter.

Unfortunately there are games such as this one where the NFL has errors in their API, and we're unable to fix it.
