Kerry Jenkins was a very solid player for us, we took him off waivers from the Bears practice squad, he was a tackle...I had the pleasure of meeting him about 7-8 times and he always wore an EA Sports lanyard around his neck...
When Keyshawn scored his first ever TD, Boatswain sprinted into the end zone and leveled him in celebration after Keyshawn took of his helmet and was stomping around. I thought he killed him for a minute. The famous Vinny TD. One of the few big breaks we ever got at a time when we didn't really even need it.
I'll make a preemptive strike right now because whenever that play gets mentioned somebody always goes there and there is no good reason to go there as I've outlined below. One of the classic NFL myths is that that play cost Dennis Erickson his job. If we say that everything after the Seattle game played out the same way, then the Jets would have been 11-5 and still would have been the 2 seed. (The Jets lost 2 games to NFC teams. Jacksonville was 11-5 and lost once to an NFC team. Even had the Jets lost to Seattle they still held the tiebreaker over Jacksonville due to a better conference record.) It would not have changed things on the Seattle end, either. New England was 7-5 in conference games. Seattle went 5-7 and change that to 6-6 with a win over the Jets. Either way, New England was the 6th seed and Seattle stayed home and fired the coach. What someone could say is that the loss to the Jets may have deflated the Seahawks. It's not true. The Seahawks beat the Chargers and Colts in their next two games. In Week 17 they lost in Denver 28-21 and nobody won in Denver that season. At the end of the day, the Testaverde "touchdown" against Seattle only had a cosmetic change on two teams' records. It also helped lead to instant replay coming back for the 1999 season after a seven year absence.
That one break is all everyone talks about forgetting the million times plays like that have gone against us.
