On offense, Leftwich had a rare good performance; Chargers DE Marcelius Wiley later commented that what Leftwich did to the Chargers defense was "uncivilized." A roided out looking David Boston was the Chargers lone bright spot. He caught several passes.

I remember that game.  After that hit on Tomlinson, Tomlinson was not a factor for the rest of the game.

I tell you, for all of JDR's faults, he made dam sure the run defense was up to snuff.  It sure was in that game.

I was at that game also. It was JDR's first win and I believe Leftwich's first official start. Boston caught 14 for 181 yds and 2 tds. (Probably had Fernando Bryant on him). I can remember Boston flexing after catching a contested pass on the sideline and his bicep seemed as big as my head...

...I looked the boxscore up on pro-football-refence and that game was 20 years ago this October. Thanks for the Sunday trip fellas.
