Amazing how a guy with a 66.7 qb rating gets ROY and the madden cover... yeah, they won late... against a bunch of chumps (and Indy who, at that time, was cruising to the playoffs)... I credit Travis Henry averaging 100 ypg during that stretch more than Vince's wonderful 7 to 5 TD/INT ratio...
This is a big departure from them normally putting guys on the cover that are the best in the league.
