That's what amazes me too how they escaped all those nailbiters. Destiny was with them that year! One game you left out was the Cincy game, took a dropped TD pass by Cincy or it would have never happened. I thought Miami would slaughter them the way they ran through teams that year and the year before. Something a lot of people probably don't know about that game was in pregame warmups Tress was doing an interview and got bonked in the head by a runaway Krenzel pass and knocked him down, he said he was seeing stars for awhile lol.

Just a magical season.

That group had to earn it. Not be talked about how their talent every week is better than the other team. Every game different players stepped up to make big plays. Running the ball more than throwing the ball. Making plays on special teams. Playing team ball for that season not to get to the NFL.
