In the inimitable words of John Riggins...

It was awesome. It was awesome, exactly the way the word was meant to be used. It was 100% pure exhilaration. It was... well... you could say, figuratively, it was orgasmic.

I swear... when they showed "the run"... I teared up. It surprised me... Awesome is perfect.

We will never see a player like this again in our lives. A Hall of Fame running back, who's most productive season occurs at age 34, who was loved as much for his antics as for his dominating play.
