Game 2 (Week 15):
This game did not go as well. As has been the pattern, we won the first game versus Dallas, but lost the second one. After benching Bill Berger in favor of Lionel Sawyer and then Craig Gilmore, Gilmore had given us a decent performance in Week 14. We gave Gilmore the nod versus Dallas, but it didn't turn out nice. It wasn't his fault though; Sean Bennett lit us up for 250 yards and 3 touchdowns on 26 carries (a 9.6 yard average
), with a 77 yard run being the most horrific play. Here are the gory details of a game I'd rather forget:
