Some people were saying by winning that game, we were setting up the Colts for a decade of dominance. It just goes to show- there's no point tanking for the number one pick. It's all about the total roster, not just that one guy.

That was the first Jaguars game I attended. MJD broke Fred Taylor's single season rushing yards record and clinched the NFL title in that category on a 50-yard run. I had a sign that someone told me appeared on the scoreboards just before that play thanking the Weavers because they were honored at halftime.

A Jets player (I forget who) perfectly explained why the tanking theory holds no water: doing so would be an easy route to unemployment.
