"FLASHBACK"
92 Cowboys Rally to Victory in Mile High
http://youtu.be/uzUcz4eNRQc

The Cowboys returned to glory in a big way, forcing a Super Bowl-record nine turnovers in one of the big game's biggest blowouts. This team boasted the NFL's all-time leading rusher, Emmitt Smith (1,713 yards, 18 TDs), behind arguably the league's best-ever offensive line: tackles Erik Williams and Mark Tuinei, guards Nate Newton and John Gesek, and center Mark Stepnoski.

That line helped Troy Aikman complete nearly 64 percent of his passes -- his main weapons were Michael Irvin (78 catches, 1,396 yards) and tight end Jay Novacek (68 catches), both Pro Bowlers. Alvin Harper was the deep target and Darryl Johnston helped pave the way for Smith as the fullback. Aikman finished with career highs in yards (3,445) and TDs (23) and was even more clutch in the playoffs: 24 of 34 for 322 yards in toppling 14-2 powerhouse San Francisco in the NFC title game, and 22 of 30 for 273 yards and four TDs in the Super Bowl.

Dallas played defense, too, allowing the fewest yards in the league and holding seven teams to 10 points or fewer -- amazingly, not one defender made the Pro Bowl. Russell Maryland, Charles Haley, Tony Tolbert and Tony Casillas controlled the line of scrimmage (Dallas allowed the fewest rushing yards in the league), and rookie linebacker Robert Jones, the team's first-round pick, joined Ken Norton as the team's leading tacklers. The secondary featured another rookie first-rounder, cornerback Kevin Smith, plus Larry Brown, Thomas Everett and James Washington.

Few teams have assembled as much talent as the '92 Cowboys and the Super Bowl rout served as the culmination of the rebuilding project of Jerry Jones and Jimmy Johnson. The only knocks against this team is its soft schedule, one of the easiest of any Super Bowl participant (.426 opponents' winning percentage), and a 31-7 loss to Philadelphia in Week 5.

"FLASHBACK"
90 New York Giants vs San Francisco 49ers NFC Championship Game
http://youtu.be/VNRe45lr9D0

The 1990 New York Giants season was one of the most successful seasons in the professional football franchise's history. The Giants, who play in the National Football Conference (NFC) of the National Football League (NFL), won their sixth championship — and second Super Bowl — in franchise history during the season. Led by linebacker Lawrence Taylor and quarterbacks Phil Simms and Jeff Hostetler, the Giants posted a 13–3 record and defeated the Chicago Bears and defending Super Bowl Champion San Francisco 49ers in the NFC playoffs. In Super Bowl XXV they defeated the Buffalo Bills 20–19 in Tampa Stadium, against a patriotic backdrop inspired by the recently started Gulf War. The story of the season is the subject of a recent book, When the Cheering Stops, by defensive end Leonard Marshall and CBSsports.com co-writer William Bendetson.

After making the playoffs in 1989, the Giants entered the 1990 season as one of the favorites to win the Super Bowl. They began the season with a 27–20 win over the Philadelphia Eagles, then won their next nine games before losing a rematch to Philadelphia 31–13 in week 12. The Giants also lost close games to the 49ers on the road and Bills at home in the regular season, before defeating both teams in playoff rematches. During the Buffalo game, Simms was lost for the season with a broken foot, and replaced by Hostetler. The Giants defense led the NFL in fewest points allowed (211), and the team set an NFL record by committing only 14 turnovers in the regular season. After the season, six Giants were selected to the Pro Bowl.

In 2007, ESPN.com ranked the 1990 Giants' defense as the sixth-greatest in NFL history, noting that the team "allowed only 13.2 points a game against a very tough schedule -- they played against seven playoff teams during the regular season. Led by Hall of Fame linebacker Lawrence Taylor, New York's defense also came through in the playoffs, holding the Bears to just three points in the divisional playoff game. Then they allowed a tough 49ers offense just two field goals and one TD, and set up the game-winning score by forcing a late fumble to win the NFC title 15-13. In Super Bowl XXV, the Giant defense held its own against the Bills' no-huddle offense, and New York won 20-19."

"FLASHBACK"
Body Bag Bowl - Eagles Redskins 1990
http://youtu.be/9qo9Lefi91M

The 1990 Philadelphia Eagles finished second in the NFC East with a 10-6 record, losing in the first round of the playoffs. That’s not the type of season typically associated with a greatest of all time,
but it was awesome still.

The Eagles offense ranked second in the NFL with 6,138 total yards and a league leading 2,556 yards rushing. The offense recorded 44 touchdowns; 34 by air and 10 by ground.

There was nothing typical about this offense. A productive running back that didn’t run the ball, a quarterback that almost had 1,000 yards rushing and two electric rookie receivers characterized the 1990 offense.

The defense didn’t dominate in quite the same way as they did in 1991 and 1992, but it was the emergence of the “Gang Green” defense with the stars: Reggie White, Jerome Brown, Clyde Simmons, Seth Joyner, Byron Evans, Eric Allen, Wes Hopkins and Andre Waters. And the excitement was all there.

1990 also featured the infamous, “Body Bag” game, where the Eagles knocked out nine of the Redskins players as promised by head coach, Buddy Ryan. The defense recorded three scores in that match that ended with running back Brian Mitchell playing quarterback for the Redskins.

"FLASHBACK"
Redskins Super Bowl Week- 1991
http://youtu.be/zG2EHC8T0Xs

Washington had a strong running attack with Earnest Byner, Ricky Ervins and
Gerald Riggs combining for nearly 2,000 yards and 19 touchdowns. Byner was the
workhorse, Ervins provided elusiveness, and Riggs served as the short yardage
back. Incredibly, the posse, Hall of Famer Art Monk, Gary Clark and Ricky
Sanders, combined for more than 3,000 yards receiving.

Most impressively, the 1991 version of the Hogs allowed Rypien to be sacked
only nine times all season. The feat is even more remarkable because Rypien was
anything but a mobile quarterback. The Hogs’ only Hall of Famer, left guard Russ
Grimm, was a backup to Raleigh McKenzie that season. The two best linemen on the
team were tackles Jim Lachey and Joe Jacoby. Brian Mitchell ran back two punts
for touchdowns to lead Washington’s excellent special teams, and kicker Chip
Lohmiller made the Pro Bowl.

The 1991 Redskins led the league in points and were second in points allowed.
Washington sacked quarterbacks 50 times, dominating both lines of scrimmage.
Defensive end Charles Mann, linebackers Wilber Marshall and Andre Collins and
Hall of Fame cornerback Darrell Green led a Redskins defense that held opponents
to 14 points per game and shut out three opponents.

Saints v Bears 1990 NFC Wildcard 1st Half
http://youtu.be/Zql-7MZ7m-w

The 1990 squad posted a 11-5 record, winning the NFC Central for the sixth time in seven seasons.

This team came into the season facing questions that had not been raised about the Bears in quite some time. The Bears' defense. which had dominated during most of the decade, had fallen to 25th overall in 1989. In fact, coming off a 6-10 season in 1989, many predicted the Bears to finish last in their division.

Injuries hindered the Bears again as Jim Harbaugh missed two games during the season. Neil Anderson made another Pro-Bowl appearance as he continued to spearhead an effective running game. The receiving corps was also was led by the backfield as FB Brad Muster and Anderson were team leaders in receptions. With the addition of Mark Carrier, the Bears started to move back up the defense charts.

The following were team leaders in 1990:

• Harbaugh threw for 2,178 yards and 10 touchdowns.
• Anderson led the team with 1,078 yards rushing and 10 touchdowns in 15 games. He also chipped in 42 catches and 484 receiving yards, which were both good for second on the team.
• Muster led the team with 47 catches while WR Wendell Davis led with 572 yards.
• Richard Dent led the team in sacks with 12 and added 81 tackles. Safeties Shaun Gayle and Mark Carrier were the leading tacklers with 125 and 122 respectively.

Chicago defeated the Saints 16-6 in the Wild Card round, but then lost to 31-3 to the eventual Super Bowl champion New York Giants.

"FLASHBACK"
DETROIT LIONS 1991 / CHAMPIONSHIP BLOWOUT over DALLAS
http://youtu.be/Sub3aI_Y0b4

The Lions were plagued by injuries most of the season. Starting quarterback Rodney Peete was lost for the season in the 9th game of the year, a 34-10 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. Second string quarterback Erik Kramer, who had won the backup quarterback job from Andre Ware (the team's #1 draft pick from the season before) during training camp, guided the team the rest of the way. Although Peete's injury was serious, perhaps the most devastating injury was the career-ending injury that befell guard Mike Utley in a Week 12 game against the Los Angeles Rams. Utley suffered a severe injury to two of his cervical vertebrae, rendering him paralyzed from the chest down and ending his career. Unaware of this, Utley gave a thumbs-up gesture to the crowd as he was being wheeled from the field. For the rest of the season Lions players wore a decal with Utley's number 60 on their helmets to honor their fallen teammate.

Utley's injury gave inspiration to a team that at that point in the season was struggling, and the team won its last six games to steal the division title away from the Chicago Bears, whose Week 17 loss to the San Francisco 49ers left them a game behind the Lions who did not lose a game the rest of the season following Utley's injury. By winning the division and having one of the two best records in the conference, the Lions earned a bye into the divisional round. There they faced Dallas, who had beaten the Bears the week before to get their first playoff win since 1982. Although the Cowboys held Lions' star running back Barry Sanders in check for most of the game, Kramer threw for 341 yards and three touchdowns and Sanders closed the scoring with a 47-yard touchdown run for a 38-6 drubbing of Dallas.

The win earned the Lions a return trip to Washington for the NFC Championship Game and a chance to avenge the 45-0 defeat in the season opener. The Redskins jumped to an early 10-0 lead when Kramer was sacked and fumbled on the Lions' first possession, then was intercepted on the second. The Lions fought back with a touchdown pass to receiver Willie Green and a field goal by kicker Eddie Murray in the second quarter to stay within one score at the half. The Lions trailed 17-10 at the break, but failed to score again as Washington scored 24 points in the second half to put the game away. Ware replaced Kramer as quarterback in the fourth quarter. He promptly threw an interception which was returned by Darrell Green for the game's final touchdown. The 1991 Lions' season thus ended the way it started, with a loss to the Redskins at RFK Stadium; the final in this game was 41-10 in favor of the eventual Super Bowl champions.

The Lions finished the season with a 9-0 record at home, counting their playoff win. The team did not play particularly well on the road: outside of their wins at Indianapolis and Minnesota, their only other outdoor wins came against the Green Bay Packers in Week 16 and the eventual AFC Champion Buffalo Bills in Week 17; the margin of victory in those games were four and three points respectively and the Lions gave up 30 or more points in three of their four road losses, two of which came to teams that failed to qualify for the playoffs (San Francisco 49ers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers).

Brett Favre's First pass completion as a Packer
http://youtu.be/59ZLPZasEgo

A new coach and one trade turned around the Green Bay Packer franchise. Mike Holmgren
was brought in from San Francisco in January, where he was the offensive coordinator, to
turn the team around. In February, GM Ron Wolf traded a first-round draft choice to the
Atlanta Falcons for QB Brett Favre. The second-year player replaced Don Majkowski in Week
Three and would remain as Packer quarterback into the next century. WR Sterling Sharpe
responded well to the change, by setting an NFL record with 108 receptions. Chuck Cecil,
Johnny Holland and Tony Bennett led the Packer defense, with Bennett racking up 13 1/2
sacks. Having already clinched a winning record, the Packers headed to Minnesota for the
final game of the season. A win was needed to get Green Bay in the playoffs for the first time
in ten years, but the Vikings rolled over them 27-7. It was the last time Green Bay would be
denied a playoff berth for several years.

Randy Moss destroys the Dallas Cowboys (1998)
http://youtu.be/-aM0BIP0uzc

As hard as it is to imagine, there was a time before the quarterback wasn't allowed to be touched without a flag. There was a time when the receiver actually had to fight to get off the line and to get open. There was a time when defenses ruled land. And during this time, no team ruled the sky's more than the 1998 Minnesota Viking.

The '98 Vikings, coached by Dennis Green, were simply an offensive monster. During this dominating year, where they went 15-1, they put up a then-record 556 points in the regular season behind one of the most prolific passing attacks the league had ever seen.

The offense was led by Randall Cunningham, who was only two years removed from being out of the league. He replaced an injured Brad Johnson and passed for 3,704 yards and a whopping 34 touchdowns. Of course, numbers like those are made easier when you have a duo of receivers like Chris Carter and a rookie Randy Moss. Moss led the team with 1,313 yards and 17 touchdowns while Carter contributed 1,011 yards and 12 touchdowns. To balance that offense and allow those passing yards, the Vikings employed the rushing duo of Robert Smith and Leroy Hoard. Smith was the flash guy and rushed for 1,187 and 6 touchdowns while Hoard was the smash man, getting the ball in goal line situations, adding 9 touchdowns to the mix.

On the other side of the ball, this Vikings team was led by the legendary John Randle. His 10.5 sacks set the pace for a defense allowed just 296 points in the regular season. Overall, this team was in position on both sides of the ball to win it all in the '98 season. Unfortunately, though, a blown opportunity would be there undoing.

During the NFC Championship game against the Atlanta Falcons, kicker Gary Anderson would miss a crucial field goal that would have iced the game for the Vikings. Instead, Minnesota would go on to lose 30-27 in overtime and taste the bitterness of unfulfilled promise.

A bad ending to a season is a bad ending, any way you look at it, but as a whole, this '98 Vikings team will go down as one of the greatest to never win a championship.

Using MC Hammer's song "2 Legit 2 Quit" as a rallying cry the Falcons pull off another of 4th Quarter Comebacks in their final season at Fulton County Stadium.

None of these comebacks was bigger then 44-yard last second prayer caught by Michael Haynes at Fulton County Stadium that beat the San Francisco 49ers 17-14.

It was part of a stretch in which they won six out of seven games, while compiling an impressive 7-1 record against division opponents, finishing with a 10-6 record, which was just barely good
enough for the 6th seed in the playoffs.

As it turned out the Big Ben Pass made the difference because they made it to the postseason via tiebreaker over the 49ers. In the Wild Card Game the Falcons traveled down Bourbon Street for a
match up with the Saints. With Wide Receiver Michael Haynes scoring two Touchdown receptions including a 67-yarder in the 4th Quarter the Falcons pulled off an upset win 27-20.

However, their season would end a week later with a 24-7 loss in Washington to the eventual Super Bowl Champion Redskins.

"FLASHBACK" 1996 Panthers in action vs Dallas Cowboys
http://www.nfl.com/videos/carolina-p...l-Playoff-Game

The 1996 Carolina Panthers season was the second season for the team in the National Football League. They tried to improve upon their 7–9 record in 1995, and made it to the playoffs for the first time in franchise history.

The Panthers would be a huge surprise, as it would turn out, as the Panthers won their last seven games of the season to finish the season with a 12–4 record. The result was that the Panthers won the NFC West, and had a first round bye in the 1996–97 NFL Playoffs. The Panthers would then beat the Dallas Cowboys 26–17 before falling 30–13 to the eventual Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers.

The second-year Panthers held Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman to 165 passing yards and forced three interceptions en route to their first playoff win in team history. Cowboys receiver Michael Irvin was knocked out of the game on its second play on a hard hit by Lamar Lathon; the hit broke Irvin's collarbone. On offense, running back Anthony Johnson was their top performer with 104 rushing yards and a 9-yard reception. Dallas scored first on kicker Chris Boniol's 22-yard field goal, but wide receiver Michael Irvin was knocked out of the game with a separated shoulder. Carolina quarterback Kerry Collins then threw two touchdown passes, a 1-yarder to tight end Wesley Walls and a 10-yarder to wide receiver Willie Green. The Cowboys countered with a 73-yard drive to score on Aikman's 2-yard touchdown pass to Daryl Johnston, but they failed on the extra point attempt and the Panthers lead was only cut to 14–9. A bad snap on a Carolina punt attempt went out of the end zone to give the Cowboys a safety. But Panthers safety Chad Cota intercepted a pass and returned it 49 yards to set up kicker John Kasay's 24-yard field goal with three seconds in the half, giving Carolina a 17–11 halftime lead. The second half was a battle of field goals with Kasey kicking 3 over Boniol's 2. In the final minutes of the fourth penalties on Tyrone Poole kept a Cowboys drive alive, until Aikman was intercepted by Pat Terrell; the subsequent Kasay field goal ended all hopes for the Cowboys in the 26–17 Carolina win.

TO THE DOME PATROL

Statistically, the team finished with the top defense in the league in points allowed (202) and second-best in total yards allowed (254.6 per game) They were 5th in the NFL in the giveaway-takeaway ratio(+9)as the defense feasted on 20 fumbles and 18 interceptions. Of those 38 takeaways, six were returned for touchdowns.

Once again it was the defense that made the difference for the New Orleans Saints this season. The "Dome Patrol" had all four starting linebackers-Rickey Jackson, Sam Mills, Vaughn Johnson and Pat Swilling-in the Pro Bowl. Defensive end Wayne Martin also began to make his presence known.

On the other end of the ball rookie Vaughn Dunbar was the team leading rusher with 565 yards. While it was Eric Martin, who for the sixth straight year, led the team in receiving. He had 68 catches for 1041 yards and 5 TDs.

The "Cajun Cannon", Bobby Hebert emerged as the starter and had a pretty good year. 422 attempts-249 completions-59% completed-3287 yards and 19 TDs. Morten Andersen scored 120 points (tied for first in NFC)-33 of 34 extra points and 29 of 34 field goals.

Despite the .750 winning percentage, the Saints couldn't catch the 14-2 Niners for the division crown. In the Wild Card Game, the Saints faced the Philadelphia Eagles in a rematch of their tough opening game loss and an equally bruising game in 1991 won by the Saints. The Saints dictated the pace during the first half, leading 20-7 on a Heyward touchdown run and a Hebert-to-Early touchdown pass. Big plays on both sides of the ball turned game in the Eagles favor, the first being a Randall Cunningham-to-Fred Barnett touchdown pass and the last an interception return for a score by Eric Allen. The Eagles scored 26 points in the 4th quarter to win, 36-20.

The 1999 season began with the team trying to improve on an 8-8 season. Rookie Shaun KIng replaced the injured and inconsistent Trent Dilfer late in the season. King helped rebound the team to their first NFC Central Division title 18 years.

Leading 6-5 late in the NFC Championship game against the Rams, the Buccaneers lost the lead after a late Ricky Proehl touchdown. With less than a minute remaining, a controversial instant replay reversal of a catch by Bert Emanuel foiled their hopes at an upset victory and a trip to Super Bowl XXXIV.

The Bucs Defense could be compared to some of history's greats. They had Defensive MVP Warren Sapp, future MVP Derrick Brooks, great DB's John Lynch, Donnie Abraham, and Ronde Barber. They were faster than anyone else and NEVER missed a tackle.

The Greatest Show on Turf: The 1999 St. Louis Rams
http://youtu.be/tpThX24-fds

The Rams finished the regular-season with a record of 13-3, and the NFC West Championship.

It was the team's first playoff appearance in St. Louis, their first since 1989, and their first division title since 1985.

The Rams were undefeated at home for the first time since 1973.[1] On the road, the Rams were 5-3. In the post-season, they defeated the Minnesota Vikings by a score of 49-37 in the NFC Divisional Playoffs and went on to defeat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 11-6 in the NFC Championship Game. Both of those games were played in St. Louis. The Rams then won their first ever Super Bowl title, defeating the Tennessee Titans by a score of 23-16 in Super Bowl XXXIV. The game was played on January 30, 2000 at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta. It was also the franchise's first NFL World Championship since 1951, when the Rams played in Los Angeles. The Rams also became the first "dome-field" (indoor home games) team to win a Super Bowl.

It was the first season of the Rams' "Greatest Show on Turf" offense. The 1999 Rams remain one of only three teams in NFL history to score more than 30 points twelve separate times in a single season. On defense, the Rams recorded seven interceptions returned for touchdowns, third most in NFL history.

The Rams were the third St. Louis-based pro sports team to win a major pro sports championship, joining the Cardinals of Major League Baseball and the 1957-58 St. Louis (now Atlanta) Hawks of the NBA.

Quarterback Kurt Warner was the MVP in both the regular-season and in Super Bowl XXXIV.

Bills-Dolphins AFC Divisional Game Intro
http://youtu.be/KMnLdDk2IFM

Notable players: QB Jim Kelly, RB Thurman Thomas, WR Andre Reed, WR James Lofton, C Kent Hull, DE Bruce Smith, OLB Cornelius Bennett, OLB Darryl Talley, ILB Shane Conlan, CB Nate Odomes, ST Steve Tasker.

Analysis: The Buffalo Bills went to an unprecedented four straight Super Bowls in the 1990s and lost them all.

Buffalo's best shot was its first, and not merely because it came down to a last-second field goal attempt that went wide right. That squad was its most complete on both sides of the ball.

The 1990 Bills are known as one of the best teams not to win the Super Bowl. Their 13-3 record is tied for the best in franchise history. They ranked first in scoring offense and sixth in scoring defense. Kelly led the NFL in passer rating, Thomas led in yards from scrimmage and Smith was voted defensive player of the year.

The Bills rolled through the regular season. They went undefeated at home and seemed to be surging down the homestretch. They outscored their first two playoff opponents 95-37, but went up against the NFL's best defense when they met the New York Giants in the Super Bowl.

The Bills led the Giants by nine points in the second quarter and held a two-point lead in the fourth quarter. But the Bills trailed by a point when Scott Norwood lined up from 47 yards away for what would have brought Buffalo its first major championship. The kick sailed wide of the upright.

Most impressive win: The Los Angeles Raiders went into the AFC Championship Game at Rich Stadium with only four losses while allowing an average of 16.4 points. The Bills annihilated the Raiders 51-3 with the help of six interceptions. The score was 41-3 at halftime.

Norwood not to blame: Did Norwood really choke? To claim he did is to suggest a successful kick was probable. The fact is, Norwood never had made a field goal longer than 49 yards in his six NFL seasons. That meant 47 yards was about the limit of his range. He made 6 of 10 attempts from 40-plus yards that season. The fateful attempt also was on grass, a surface he was kicking on for only the fourth time.

The Dolphins first game of the season is delayed a week because of the devastation from Hurricane Andrew, this would cause the Dolphins to play 16 consecutive weeks without a bye. However, that would end up having no adverse affect on the Dolphins what so ever, as Dan Marino has another stellar year to lead the Dolphins to an 11-5 record. There 11-5 record was good enough to give them the AFC East title via a tit-breaker over the Buffalo Bills. The key victory of the season comes on October 4th in Buffalo as the Dolphins bomb the Bills 37-10 in a game highlighted by Louis Oliver's 103-yard Interception return for a TD. In the Divisional Round of the Playoffs the Dolphins are matched up against the San Diego Chargers. The game ends up being no contest as the Dolphins crush the Chargers 31-0 to advance to the AFC Championship Game. However, the Super Bowl dream will end a week later when the Bills beat the Dolphins 29-10 in Joe Robbie Stadium to advance to their 3rd Straight Super Bowl tying the Dolphins record. In the heart-breaking Championship game the Dolphins aid the Bills cause with 5 key turnovers.

New England Patriots Alumni Club 1996 Season Highlight #1
http://youtu.be/MLurwJOeuVk

Over Bill Parcells' objections, in the 1996 NFL Draft the team added wide receiver Terry Glenn as a first-round draft pick.[17] Despite Parcells referring to Glenn as "she" during a pre-season press conference, Glenn provided much the same spark to the receiving corps that Martin had provided to the running game. On defense, rookie safety Lawyer Milloy made an impact, as did Willie Clay (signed from the Detroit Lions) and second-year cornerback Ty Law. Linebackers Tedy Bruschi and Ted Johnson arrived on the scene to help veterans such as Willie McGinest and Slade. Despite all these additions, the Patriots once again started out lackluster in 1996. After an early-season loss to the Redskins at home dropped the Patriots down to 3–3, the Patriots proceeded to win their next 4 games in a row, and 8 out of their last 10 (only losing to the Denver Broncos (who would finish with the AFC's best record) and the defending Super Bowl champion Dallas Cowboys to finish 11–5, winning the AFC East and earning a first-round bye in the playoffs as a #2 seed. The Patriots defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 28–3 in a divisional playoff game—only the second home playoff game in franchise history. The game was played mostly under thick fog. They then held off the Jacksonville Jaguars 20–6 in the first AFC Championship game played in Foxboro (a game marked by a sudden power "brownout" just as Adam Vinatieri was to attempt a field goal in the second quarter.) The team advanced to Super Bowl XXXI against the Green Bay Packers.

http://youtu.be/iStYSPOMD3k

The Ravens relied heavily on their defense, which set several records during the 2000 season, including fewest points allowed during a 16-game season (165) and fewest rushing yards allowed (970). The defense finished the season number one overall in points allowed, and Ray Lewis was named defensive player of the year by the Associated Press. Starting cornerbacks Chris McAlister and Duane Starks combined to intercept ten passes, and defensive end Rob Burnett contributed with 10.5 sacks.

Offensively, the Ravens relied heavily on the running game. Rookie running back Jamal Lewis led the way with 1364 yards and veteran Priest Holmes added 588 yards. The passing game was rather pedestrian (23rd in yards passing), but Trent Dilfer brought stability to the position when he took over for Tony Banks mid-season. Tight end Shannon Sharpe, acquired as an unrestricted free agent from Denver during the offseason, was the team's leading pass receiver with 67 catches for 810 yards. Punt returner Jermaine Lewis scored two touchdowns on punt returns during the season, and ran back a kickoff in the Super Bowl, while placekicker Matt Stover made 35 field goals on 39 attempts.

The Ravens defense in 2000 is often named among the greatest NFL defenses of all time. A 2007 ESPN Page 2 list ranked the 2000 Ravens defense at #3 in NFL history. Baltimore gave up only 970 rushing yards (60.6 per game) all year, an NFL record for a 16-game season, and 186 fewer yards than the next lowest team, Baltimore's Super Bowl XXXV opponent, the New York Giants. Baltimore gave up only five rushing touchdowns all season, and allowed a paltry 2.7 yards per rush, both league bests. Baltimore only allowed 165 points all season, also an NFL record for a 16-game season. Furthermore, the Ravens recovered an astronomical 26 fumbles during the season, double the total the second-ranked team.

After a 3-0 start the Bengals struggle with mediocrity and sat at 7-7 with two games to go, needing to win their final two games just to have a shot at the playoffs. The Bengals would have the advantage of playing both those important games at home. After winning the first one against the Houston Oilers 40-21, the Bengals need a 4th Quarter rally to beat the Cleveland Browns 21-14 to clinch the AFC Central Title. However the Bengals 9-7 record was not good enough for a first round bye. In the first ever 3-6 game, the Bengals hosted the Oilers in Riverfront Stadium. The game would not even be close as the Bengals jumped out to a 34-0 lead, enrout to a 44-17 victory. In the Divisional Round the Bengals traveled to Los Angeles to face the Raiders. However, the Bengals would have to play without Anthony Muñoz, and would struggle all game to get first downs on the way to a 20-10 loss.

The loss was the biggest lead ever blown in NFL history.

According to statistics site Football Outsiders, who does play-by-play analyses of each team each season, the Oilers were the best team in the AFC at the end of the 1992 season.

"FLASHBACK" The Indianapolis Colts Triplets (Harrison, James, n Manning)
http://youtu.be/dmgXjEaBktY

The Colts would make a change at Running Back trading Marshall Faulk to the St. Louis Rams, and drafting Edgerrin James in the 1st round. The Colts offense would click right away with James who earned the Offensive Rookie of the Year with 2,159 All-Purpose Yards, and 17 Touchdowns. The In addition Peyton Manning racked up 4,135 passing yards as the Colts won the AFC East with an impressive 13-3 record. In the Divisional Playoffs the Colts hosted the Tennessee Titans in the first ever playoff game at the RCA Dome. However, the young Colts struggled in their first playoff game and were shutout in the 2nd half on the way to a heartbreaking 19-16 loss.

The Triplets
Manning, Harrison and James were all chosen for the Pro Bowl.

Manning, in his second season, made the Pro Bowl for the first time, as did wide receiver Marvin Harrison and rookie running back Edgerrin James, who led the NFL in rushing in his first season.

Manning, after throwing 28 interceptions as a rookie, drastically reduced that total and completed 331 of 533 passes for 4,135 yards and 26 touchdowns with 15 interceptions. He finished with a passer rating of 90.7, and was the fourth-youngest quarterback selected to the Pro Bowl since 1971.

James, the fourth overall choice in the 1999 NFL Draft, was named first-team All-Pro and started at running back in the Pro Bowl. He had 10 100-yard games and finished with 1,553 yards and 13 touchdowns on 369 carries. He also caught 62 passes for 586 yards and four touchdowns.

The 1,553 yards marked the fourth-highest all-time for an NFL rookie.

Harrison, in his fourth NFL season, produced one of the best statistical seasons in league history, catching 115 passes for 1,663 yards and 12 touchdowns. He had nine 100-yard games and led the league in receiving yards.

His receiving yardage total was the fifth-highest in NFL history.

"FLASHBACK" Jacksonville Jaguars vs Miami Dolphins - Fred Taylor 90 yard run
http://youtu.be/Tyf99vLzxXA

Notable Players: WR Jimmy Smith, OT Tony Boselli, RB Fred Taylor, QB Mark Brunell, DE Tony Brackens, LB Kevin Hardy, S Donovin Darius

Analysis: The Jaguars have only 15 years of history, and choosing their best edition isn’t difficult. The 1999 club lost three games all season, all to the Tennessee Titans, with the third in the AFC Championship Game in Jacksonville.

Their ace running back was Taylor, who missed six regular-season games because of injury. He returned to turn in two 100-yard rushing games in the postseason.

Jacksonville had seven Pro Bowlers that season. After earning a bye with its 14-2 regular season, it waltzed to a 62-7 win over Miami in its first playoff game. James Stewart, who started seven games with Taylor hurt, scored 13 rushing touchdowns and Jimmy Smith pulled in 116 balls for 1,636 yards -- both still franchise records.

Brackens’ 12 sacks remain in place as the team’s single-season record. The 2009 Jaguars had 14 sacks total.

Most impressive win: Of the teams the Jaguars beat, only the Dolphins had a winning record. Only Carolina, the Jets, and Baltimore finished 8-8. Can you pick?

Research room: The 1999 Jaguars are one of four teams since 1999 to win at least 14 regular-season games and not reach the Super Bowl -- along with San Diego in 2006 (14-2), Indianapolis in 2005 (14-2), and Pittsburgh (15-1) in 2004.

Adelphia Coliseum would provided just what the team needed, a home field, and they would take advantage winning all 8 home games, while compiling a 13-3 record, and making the playoff as a Wild Card. Despite finishing second in the AFC Central the Titans beat the Jacksonville Jaguars twice, handing them their only losses on the season. Along the way Deffensive End Jevon Kearse quickly established himself as one of the most dominant players on defense collecting 14 sacks, while winning Defensive Rookie of the Year. In their first playoff game in Tennessee the Titans host the Buffalo Bills in the Wild Card round. The Titans held the lead most of the day, but the Bills rallied, and appeared to have dealt the Titans a heartbreaking loss by taking a 16-14 lead, with 16 seconds left in the game. Needing a miracle Frank Wycheck lateraled the kick off to Kevin Dyson who ran the 75-yard for a Touchdown that gave the Titans a 22-16 win, in a play that earned instant folklore in the NFL, earning the nickname of the "Music City Miracle." The Titans would go on to upset the Colts in Indianapolis in Divisional 19-16, as Eddie George rushed for 162 yards, including a key 68-yard Touchdown run. In the AFC Championship Game the Titans traveled to Jacksonville hoping to beat the Jaguars for the third time. After falling behind 14-10 in the 3rd Quarter, the Titans would win the game behind 23 unanswered points 33-14 to advance to the first Super Bowl in franchise history. Leading the second half surge was Quarterback Steve McNair who ran for two Touchdown scores.
