Ah, that makes sense. I assume the Panthers were close to being under 200 yards too, right? I can't find the post-loss numbers for them. |
They had 315 yards though they also had almost 20 more plays, while only possessing the ball for five more minutes.
On a small tangeant, and again, bias is talking here, but I'm still pissed about Steve Atwater not getting in the Hall, and talk that next year John Lynch will get in. It's not that I don't like Lynch and think he shouldn't get in the Hall, but Atwater should get in first, and should quite frankly already be in. Lynch is propped up by having played with better team mates, but Atwater came to an, at best, middling defense and his first year there they turned into a number one defense.
Their stats are almost identical, though Lynch played two more seasons and Atwater has way more overall tackles. Lynch has one more probowl, they have the same number of all pro honors, and Atwater has one more super bowl under his belt and is on an all decade team, Lynch can't say that. Not to mention that Lynch himself said that he was told to mold his style after Steve Atwater. Then again the Hall doesn't seem to hold safety in high esteem for some reason, safeties have the hardest time getting into the hall outside of kickers and maybe true fullbacks.
