    Do I remember correctly that the record was broken early in the game and IN was then pulled?

      So he broke Jom Browns record early in the first needing only 61 yards to break 1863. He ended breaking the 2000 mark with 5:56 remaining and left the game.

      shoulda kept running him but there wasn’t a thought of a 16 game season around the corner. Dude could gained 20/30 more yards…

        Everybody knew he was getting the ball, not just that game but every game. And he still produced big.

          Ferguson threw so rarely … the stats are funny… 1973 - 939 yards passing and Ferguson played all 14

            ...and they STILL missed the playoffs, due to losing to the Bengals at home.

                  I have an autographed commemorative sweatshirt some guy was selling in the parking lot on the 25th anniversary.
                  Someone said "What's he gonna turn out like?" Ha!
                  And someone else said "Never mind!"

                    Yeah I wasn’t going to get into the after the improbable blowout today, but this is what concerns me. This team’s forte is epic, soul-crushing disappointment, and there are still dozens of ways for that to happen this season.

                      You know what’s great? They score a touchdown and hand then all to the ref, give some high fives and go play football. No dancing, no choreography no taunting
