The greatest football play I've ever seen a player make is at 7 minutes and 43 seconds into this video clip.

He catches a Hail Mary, and manages a no-look behind the back lateral for a TD as time ran-out in the 1st half. The Vikes won the game by 8 points to go 6-0.

Interestingly, the box score credited Moe Williams with a 15-yard TD reception on that play. http://www.pro-football-reference.co...0310190min.htm


That Minny team in 2003 was really bad outside of Moss being at the tail end of his prime.

They had the 23rd ranked defense, and the leading rusher was Moe Williams and the 2nd leading receiver was Moe Williams.

Moe Williams 2nd best rushing season ever was 414 yards...and his 2nd best receiving season ever was 251 yards. And he was that teams leading rusher, 2nd leader in receiving yards behind Moss, and the defense was 23rd ranked in both points allowed and yards allowed.

Below AVG defense, plus Moe Williams as your 2nd best offense weapon, should never translate to a 6-0 start and a winning record.

Maybe that is why Nick Saben took Duante Culpepper over Drew Brees.
