'99 Rams
'00 Ravens
'01 Patriots
'03 Cowboys (yuck!!)
'03 Panthers
'04 Chargers
'04 Steelers

'05 Redskins????

(Are you a fan of Hugh Ross.....if you don't know whom I am talking about that's okay.)_ Although the Cowboys were a huge surprise I think it was a mirage which was proved when they made the playoffs and were demolished and last year they came back to earth and were as "good" as we were
Chargers were impressive................and Big Ben was a nice surprise......
