SUPER BOWL XXII

Let's be real about this whole thing: Not only did we score five touchdowns in the second quarter, it only took 18 plays to do that. You sit down and watch the Denver Broncos today and Peyton Manning leads his team on a 12-, 13-play drive. And that's one touchdown. We scored five in 18 plays. That's what you call execution at its highest. It's fairly easy to explain. I had hyperextended my knee late in the first quarter. I went back in the first series of the second quarter. We had a regular pass play, a 5-yard hitch pattern and [Broncos defensive back] Mark Haynes was in press coverage. In the hitch, we always converted to a fade up the side. He pressed Ricky Sanders and missed him. Ricky raced 80 yards. From then on the defense got some life and started shutting Denver and John Elway down. We got the ball back and Timmy Smith was running wild. Next thing, I hit Gary Clark in the corner, then on play action hit Ricky Sanders again on a 50-something-yard touchdown. Then, at the end of the quarter, I hit Clint Didier down the corner. Eighteen plays, 35 points. That's almost two points a play. Oh man, it was one of those things. Our offensive line was just blowing them away, and I could have run through that. We had holes that big. I couldn't move. My knee had swollen up. I just stood back there, and they gave me all the time in the world. At halftime, Joe Bugel, our offensive line coach -- he used to call me Stud -- he walked up to me and said, 'Hey Stud, you don't have to go back out there if you don't want to.' I said, 'Coach, I started this game, I'm going to finish this game.' I went in and took a shot to my knee and finished the game.
