There are a lot of great plays here, but many of them are great in part because of their significance. If we take the importance of the play out of the equation, some that I would add include:

The hit Leslie O'Neal put on Jeff George, which actually knocked the wind out of me as a viewer. Brutal, just brutal.



I doubt anyone remembers it, but Duane Clemons clobbered Steve McNair in legendary fashion once when McNair took off running. The hit broke McNair's sternum and made him actually consider retirement.

At the crux of Young’s on-field issues last year was his apparent refusal to re-enter the season opener against Jacksonville just before suffering a knee injury. McNair himself admits to having his own premature retirement thoughts back in 2000 after a hit from Kansas City’s Duane Clemons broke his sternum, an injury that would eventually require surgery to fix years later.

“I think we all go through difficult times in our lives. I can remember the time when I got hit by Clemons of Kansas City and broke my sternum, and I called my agent and I told him I was ready to retire,” McNair said. “We all go through that. It’s just a part of life and a part of growing up. The thing that Vince has got to do is counteract and come back with a clear head, and say, ‘This is what I do. This is my profession’ and come back and play well. And I’m quite sure he will.”
