British TV showed extensive highlights of this overtime win over Minnesota, a game that featured a double fumble in the extra period and another monster fieldgoal by Michael Husted to win it. This was also the game that led Sam Wyche to start his "5-2 and don't forget it" crowing to the media, as he began to get more and more arrogant about his "coaching skills".
