It's 2:34 in the first quarter of week 3. Chad Pennington runs off the field, but Chad Henne doesn't run on. The huddle breaks, and Ricky Williams lines up wide to the left, while Ronnie Brown sits in the shotgun. Ricky goes in motion toward Ronnie, Ronnie takes the snap to paydirt, thus stunning Bill Belichek and the Patriots. But it didn't end there.
What seemed like a one time trick play turned in to the league wide phenomenon known simply as "The Wildcat." Fred Jackson lined up with Trent Edwards at receiver for the Bills, the same as Thomas Jones who stared down Brett Favre spread wide to the right.
The Wildcat, Brett Favre coming to the Jets, Tom Brady's injury, the collapse of the Bills, all of these things led to the AFC East becoming one of the most exciting and competitive divisions in the NFL.
Things can only get more exciting this year. Here's what to look for in the upcoming season.
