The beginning of an era. Who’da thunk a rookie head coach and small school QB would get us as far as we did. 3 AFC championships in 5 years, 2 of which were lost in the last minutes/seconds and one Super Bowl. Really hope Harbs get one more to cement himself into the HOF.

What an awesome trip down memory lane.

I remember that last game at Cowboys stadium so well!

-Reed int

-Mason hurt his shoulder and came back in to score a TD. Toughed it out through the playoffs through the AFC championship

-Then the back to back 80+ runs up the middle for touchdowns. Awesome!!!
