Yep, and you can't take that away from him. We had an adequate defense that year, but it wasn't enough.
They were a botched snap away from the NFC Championship game that year. It was the only time when he had a top-flight QB in Brad Johnson, and just about everything else on offense fell right into place.
I've always thought that Norv's problems started with drafting Heath Shuler in '94. If he pans out, you never know what that could have started for this team in the mid '90s. But he didn't, and not until 1999 did this team recover.
